| Abstract | This study was carried out to estimate the suitable level of live baker ’s yeast ( Saccharomyces cerevisiae ) isolated from bio - fermented green macroalgae ( Chaetomorpha crassa ( C.Agardh ) Kützing, 1845 as a probiotic in dietary supplement and to examine the effect of live yeast ( S. cerevisiae ) on g rowth performance, survival rate and some blood parameters in maroon clown fish, Premnas biaculeatus . Four replicate groups of juveniles of 60 days post hatch (mean weight 1.093±0.034 g , mean total length 3.11 ±0.05 cm ) were fed with three diets prepared by incorporating viable cells of S. cerevisiae at the level of 0.5%, 1.0% and 2.0%, respectively for 90 days. The diet without incorporating S. cerevisiae was the control . Fish fed with 2.0% of live yeast incorporated diet showed significantly higher growth performance and feed efficiency than fish fed with 0.5% of live yeast and control diet, but not from fish fed with 1.0 % of live yeast. There were no significant differences in survival rate and blood parameters among all treatments. However, the increase in live yeast levels in diets resulted in overall increase in the total white blood cells. The results of this study suggested that, 1.0% is an optimal concentration of live yeast S. cerevisiae to be incorporated in the diet for the best growth performance and feed efficiency of maroon clown fish, P . biaculeatus. |
