| Abstract | This study was conducted to evaluate the nutritional profile of two experimental diets, namely, a seaweed diet (SWD) Laminaria pallida (macrophytic algae) and a formulated diet (FD) (macro- algae) for use in abalone (Haliotis midae) feed development. The formulated diet was exclusively produced using seaweed and seaweed extracts. Additionally, the suitability of both diets was tested by examining daily feed intake and apparent feed digestibility. Results revealed relatively high variations in nutritional composition in both the SWD and the FD. The FD contained significantly (P 36.42% for crude protein and total ash, respective). Both diets were low in fat content. It was not possible to determine the apparent digestibility accurately due to difficulties in quantitative faecal collection. |
