Abstract

The purpose of this experiment was to examine the effects of temperature (from 20 ℃ to 34 ℃) and dietary protein level (from 25% to 50%) on specific growth rate (SGR), feed efficiency (FE) and serum growth hormone (GH) level in GIFT Nile tilapia juveniles through central composite rotatable experimental design and response surface method under laboratory conditions. The entire experiment lasted for 56 days. Results showed that SGR, FE and serum GH level were increased at the beginning and then decreased with increasing of water temperature and dietary protein level. The linear effects of temperature and dietary protein level on SGR, FE and serum GH level were statistically significant (P<0.05). The quadratic effects of temperature and dietary protein level and reciprocal effects of temperature × dietary protein level on FE and serum GH level were significant (P<0.05); but the reciprocal effects of temperature × dietary protein level on SGR was nonsignificant (P>0.05). High temperature and high dietary protein level inhibited FE and serum GH level. Model equations of the SGR, FE and serum GH level on temperature and dietary protein level were established, with the coefficients of determination being 0.958, 0.955 and 0.875, respectively (P<0.01), and could be applied in prediction. The optimal temperature/dietary protein level combination was obtained utilizing statistical optimization approach: 29.9 ℃/40.3%, at which the maximal SGR and FE reached 2.748%/d and 77.5%, respectively, with the reliability being 0.888. The effects of temperature on SGR, FE and serum GH level were more significant than those of dietary protein level. There was weak correlation between serum GH and SGR. However, a positive correlation was found between serum GH and FE. Thus, breeding efficiency of tilapia juvenile can be improved by rearing the species at an optimal combination of temperature and dietary protein level.
