Methanotroph (Methylococcus capsulatus, Bath) as an alternative protein source for genetically improved farmed tilapia (GIFT: Oreochromis niloticus) and its effect on antioxidants and immune response

The aim was to evaluate the effects of increasing bacterial protein meal (BPM) (M. capsulatus, Bath) as a fishmeal replacer in the diets of GIFT. A total of 540 juveniles (initial weight 3 g) were allocated randomly to 18 outdoor floating cages (1 m 1 m 1 m) at 30 fish/cage for 56 days with diets (0...
