Abstract

In an eight-week time period, the implications of Pediococcus acidilactici, as a probiotic, were examined on growth index and the activity of gastric enzymes of Aequidens rivulatus (green terror) (0.388±0.0021) in a completely randomized system. The fishes were input into nine oval-shaped ponds of 120 liters capacity with the density of about 60 pieces per pond, and fed twice a day. This study include three treatments as 1) control treatment 2) the feed including fish oil and nutrient treatment 3) feed including fish oil complemented with P.acidilactici bacteria. In treatment number three, final weight (3.22 gr), SGR (3.65%/day), FCR (1.45), FER (0.87), PER (0.38) had an improved condition compared with other treatments (p<0.05). Dry matter value (30.81), fat (33.73) and body energy (6217.20) were also improved at the end of the latter treatment (0.05). Moreover, in this case the level of gastric enzymes vis. trypsin (1/82 U/mg protein), amylase (3.04 U/mg protein) and lipase (1.24 U/ mg protein) showed significant difference from other treatments (p<0.05). There was no significant differences between protein and ash levels in all cases (p>0.05). Given what is concluded, P.acidilactici has a positive effect on growth index and the activity of gastric enzymes of green terror fish and this bacteria could be used in culturing ornamental fishes as a probiotic in order to improve growth indices and feed digestion.
