Description

diets has been reported as 1900 mg/kg. Likewise, the requirement of copper for fish, ~ which varies from 3 to 5mg/kg, is much lower than in the fern Azolla. However, it does Ny not exceed the tolerable limit for fish diets of 150 mg/kg. Mineral concentration should 5 be considered before the inclusion of Azolla into fish diets depending on the fish - species and its particular tolerable limits. h
The present fish feed formulation comprising of 17-24% water hyacinth ~ (Eichhornia crassipes), 15-30% duckweed (Spirodela polyrhiza), 5-20% fern (azolla i} filiculoides), 17-24 % seaweed (Sargassum crasifolium), 18% (by weight) of fish meal, - 10% (by weight) of cornstarch and 2% (by weight) of vitamins/minerals premix. -
Trials of formulations were initiated to select good combination of feed stuff locally available aquatic macrophytes. The aquatic macrophytes such as water - hyacinth, water fern and duckweed were collected in ponds while seaweed was bought from farmers. Other ingredients in formulating the fish feed include fish meal, cornstarch and vitamin/mineral premix. The formulation of the fish feed was through trial and error to produce a better product in terms of texture and stability.
The following are the steps in making the final formulation of the fish feed: 1. Soaking the collected aquatic macrophytes in 24 hours. 2. Drying the collected aquatic macrophytes until brittle with the use of an oven 3. Boiling the fish meal until cooked and sundried until dry. 4. Pulverizing all the dried ingredients using a puilverizer. 5. Mixing the pulverized ingredients in a pan. 6. Roasting said ingredients in a pan at 80-100 degree Celsius for 10-15 minutes and let cool. 7. Binding the cooled roasted ingredients with cornstarch already mixed with water and vitamins and minerals premix. 8. Pelletizing the formulation using a pelletizer. 9. Drying for 1 hour.

PROCESS OF PRODUCING FISH FEED UTILIZING AQUATIC MACROPHYTES -
Technical Field: iy
This invention relates to a fish feed utilizing aquatic macrophytes particularly + water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), duckweed (Spirodela polyrhiza), fern (azolla Bg filiculoides), seaweed (Sargassum crasifolium),and its production process. o
Background of the Invention -
Nutrition and feeding play a central role in sustainable aquaculture and - therefore, feed resources as well as costs continue to dominate aquaculture needs.
Feed accounts for 40-60% of the production costs in aquaculture, with protein sources accounting for a significant proportion of this cost [Fotedar 2004; Bahnasawy 2009].
Protein is main major dietary nutrient affecting performance of fish. It provides the essential and nonessential amino acids which are necessary for muscle formation and enzymatic function and in part provides energy for maintenance [Yang et al. 2002].
With the increasing intensive aquaculture, demand for more efficient dry diets for fish is rising. Feed is the principal operating cost in the production of fish and the main protein source has traditionally been fish meal [Glencross et al. 2007]. It is important to minimize the amount of protein used for energy, because protein is usually the most expensive major constituents in a diet.
Fish feeds formulation is highly dependent on trash fish as one of its ingredients/ components. However, its demand for fish meal and "trash fish" can be seen as increasing fishing pressure on the already over-exploited fish stocks. Over the last decade, the price of "trash fish" has risen considerably and it is predicted to increase over the next few years due to increased demand for fish meal [FAO 2004].
Marine finfish aquaculture in Asia has been developing rapidly at around 10 percent per annum over the last decade and is the fastest growing sub-sector in Asia and in the Philippines. Much of this increasing production is attributable to the expanding culture of high-value marine carnivorous species such as groupers. However, the sector is largely dependent on so-called ‘trash fish’, which is usually the only food source of the cultured stocks [NACA 2009]. The use of fish meal at high levels in fish feeds is not feasible because of its high price and limited supply [Agbo et al. 2011].
The present Philippine government's agriculture thrust is trying to get out from on this fish meal trap, by providing more support and research and development of alternative feed sources for organic aquaculture. The introduction of the mariculture ~ park (MP) concept which is currently being promoted by the Bureau of Fisheries and p .
Aquatic Resources and SEAFDEC as an integrated and sustainable approach to } mariculture has been the government's strategy towards ensuring environment- = friendly aquaculture [Go 2011]. The principles of organic aquaculture encourage the : development of feeds that do not deplete fish stocks. Fish discard and cut-offs may - be potential alternative ingredients, but this conflicts with the environmental co regulations because of the high phosphorus content. Intuitively, partial substitution of - fishmeal and fish oil by sustainable organic plant protein and oil sources seems a good . alternative, since fish feed (including organic) contains more than 60 % fishmeal on a fat-free basis [Jokumsen et al. 2009].
Although aquatic macrophytes are commonly found within the tropics, they have been poorly investigated as alternative or supplemented feed for the majority of native fish. This may be due to the lack of information on their nutritional characteristics, fermentation properties and processing [Cruz et al. 2011]. Due to their abundance, they contribute to eutrophication of water bodies [Xie et al. 2004], thus the need for methods to control them effectively and others to convert them into utilizable resources [Franklin et al. 2008] both in industrial processes and at farm level [Xiao et al 2009; Dordio et al 2010]. Hence it is the object of this invention to develop fish feed formulation using the different aquatic macrophytes.
Summary of the Invention
The present invention discloses a process of producing fish feed utilizing aquatic macrophytes particularly water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), duckweed (Spirodela polyrhiza), fern (azolla filiculoides), seaweed (Sargassum crasifolium).

Detailed Description
The present invention relates to a process of producing fish feed utilizing aquatic macrophytes particularly water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), duckweed (Spirodela polyrhiza), fern (azolla filiculoides), seaweed (Sargassum crasifolium), fish meal, cornstarch and vitamins/minerals premix.
The feed formulation is a process in which feed ingredients and various vitamins and minerals supplements are blended to produce a diet with the required quantities of essential nutrients. Fish requires protein (amino acids), lipids (fatty acids), ~ vitamins, minerals, and energy sources (carbohydrates). Good nutrition is essential to - produce a quality product. Ideally, the diets should reflect the nutrients requirements - of the animal to be fed. The biologically available nutrients profile should approximately ~~. the dietary needs of the fish cultured. }
The nutritional value of water hyacinth has been exhaustively studied The : results of proximate analysis of WHL in dry matter (DM) basis are as follows: 6.31% crude protein (CP), 26.61% CF, 2.83% extract ether (EE), 16.12% ash and 48.18% nitrogen free extract (NFE); while the fiber composition are 49.30% neutral detergent - fiber (NDF), 28.16% acid detergent fiber (ADF), 21.14% hemicellulose, 24.61% cellulose and 3.35% lignin [Mahmilia 2005].
The proximate analysis shows that the moisture content of water hyacinth ranged from 92.13% in the roots to 85.15% in the leaves. The ash content ranged from 39.80% in the roots to 16.79% in the leaves. For the crude lipids, the least value of 1.2% came from the roots while the petioles had the highest value of 2.10%. The percentage crude fiber ranged from 12.15 in the roots to 21.97% in the whole plant.
The percentage crude protein ranged from 7.11 in the petioles through 7.67 in the whole plant to 15.27% in the leaves. The leaves therefore had almost twice the values obtained for the other parts of the plant.
Aquatic macrophytes are rich in minerals, exceeding the fish requirements but not the critical values for fish. Mineral composition of the raw aquatic macrophytes revealed a comparable content among plants, except for Azolla. Concentrations of calcium and phosphorus were similar in all the plants. Calcium and potassium were - the most abundant minerals tested. Phosphorus content in Lemna and Spirodela ranged within the requirements for common fin fish, whereas the Ca:P ratio was higher than the fish requirements. The reduction of calcium in the mineral mixture used in formulated diets must be considered. Azolla showed the highest amount of zinc (161 mg/kg), copper (14.8mg/kg) and chromium (18.2mg/kg).
Although the requirement of zinc for the majority of fish is much lower, varying from 15 to 30 mg/kg, higher levels of supplemental zinc are frequently included in the practical diets to compensate the reduced zinc bioavailability caused by other dietary factors such as phytates. In some fish species (trout and carp) the tolerable limit of zinc in
