Crustacean Biology Laboratory, Department of Zoology, Bharathiar University, Coimbatore – 641046. Tamilnadu, India. Received 3 January, 2015; Accepted 21 April, 2015 The present study was conducted to assess the growth promoting ability of Chlorella vulgaris on Marobrachium rosenbergii postlarvae. The experimental diets were prepared by fishmeal replacement with C. vulgaris at different levels (25, 50, 75 and 100%). The prepared feeds were offered to the M. rosenbergii postlarvae during 90 days in triplicate. At the end of the feeding experiment, survival rate, weight gain, specific growth rate and feed conversion efficiency were significantly (P < 0.05) higher in 50% C. vulgaris inclusion diet fed PL group. Similarly, total protein, amino acid, carbohydrate and lipid contents were significantly (P < 0.05) higher in specimens fed 50% C. vulgaris supplemented diet. The feeding rate, absorption rate, conversion rate were significantly (P < 0.05) higher in 50% C. vulgaris supplemented diet fed PL group. At this level of replacement, the activity level of digestive protease, amylase and lipase were significantly (P < 0.05) higher in 50% C. vulgaris supplemented group. Among all the experimental groups, the 50% fishmeal replacement with C. vulgaris inclusion diet fed group, showed significant performance. The present results revealed that the partial replacement of fish meal with C. vulgaris is favorable for M. rosenbergii postlarval culture. Key words: C. vulgaris, digestive enzymes, growth performance, M. rosenbergii. INTRODUCTION The culture of freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium predaceous species of fish, and it has a shorter larval rosenbergii (Scampi), has received a great deal of period. The M. rosenbergii breeding, larval culture and attention in India as a preferred crustacean. Under export is one of the important industries in south Indian controlled culture in freshwater and low saline ponds in states of Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Tamilnadu. In inland, as well as coastal areas, it grows fastest among recent years, the aquaculture industry has succeeded in all freshwater prawns. It shows a wide range of reducing the inclusion rates of fishmeal and fish oil in the temperature and salinity tolerance, acceptance of a large aquafeeds. However, due to the increase in production of range of formulated diets, culture compatibility with non- all farmed species there is still a growing demand for *Corresponding author.

Fishmeal is the carbohydrate, lipid, essential amino acids and minerals principal source of protein in commercial aquafeeds. As a (Dawah et al., 2002; Tokusoglu and Unal, 2003; Janczyk et result of the steep increase in price of fishmeal and the al., 2005; Vaikosen et al., 2007). In this study, the effect of decline in fishery resources that goes in to fishmeal fishmeal dietary replacement with C. vulgaris on growth production, there is an interest in developing alternatives performance, energy utilization, carcass composition and to this finite component.

As microalgae protein is of good quality, with amino acid profiles comparable to that of other reference feed MATERIALS AND METHODS proteins, it could be a plausible alternative to fishmeal Culture of Chlorella vulgaris protein (Becker 2007). In addition, microalgae, which are the source of all photosynthetic ally fixed carbon in the Collection of pure mother culture of C. vulgaris: C. vulgaris food web of aquatic animals (Kwak and Zedler 1997), mother culture were collected from Vivekananda Institute of Algal may be an ideal replacement for fishmeal in aquatic Technology (VIAT), R.K.M.
