An experiment was conducted to determine the effect of replacement of fishmeal with silkworm (Bombyx mori) pupa meal (SWP) on growth and feed utilization of Common carp. six serious of diets of silkworm pupae meal about 40% crude protein with varying levels of replacement of fish meal SP0,SP1,SP2,SP3,SP4 and SP5(0,10,20,30,40 and 50%) were provided at 40 % live fish body weight for 60 days. growth and feed utilization parameters was higher in fingerlings fed the diets with mixed fishmeal and SWP (the highest was 40%) and lower in those fed 0% of SWP or fishmeal. Significant differences were reported for growth, when increasing silkworm pupae meal diet increasing weight gain, feed intake, specific growth rate FCR also decrease.40% SWP suitable for fish growth in aquaculture.
