Özet:

 In this study, the effects of Schizochytrium sp. supplementation SCH to feed on growth and skin coloration in electric yellow cichlid Labidochromis caeruleus were investigated. Fish 1.93  0.23 g initial weight were fed with commercial fish feed as the control group C and commercial fish feed supplemented with 0.5 SCH05 and 1 SCH1 SCH for 60 days. The SCH05 and SCH1 groups displayed the highest final weight FW, weight gain WG, and specific growth rate SGR values, with similarly favorable feed conversion ratio FCR levels compared to the C group p0.05. The SCH1 group exhibited statistically significant differences from the C and SCH05 groups concerning lightness L and hue values p0.05. The redness a values in the SCH05 and SCH1 groups showed a statistically significant difference compared to the C group p0.05. However, there were no statistically significant differences in the yellowness b and Ch values among all groups. To conclude, the inclusion of SCH microalga as a dietary supplement markedly promoted growth performance and facilitated the attainment of marketable size in electric yellow cichlids. Additionally, although the enhancement in skin coloration resulting from the addition of 0.5 SCH to the feed did not reach a significant difference, it hints at a promising advantage that could enhance the aesthetic allure and market value of the fish.

 Bu çalışmada, sarı prenses çiklitlerinde Labidochromis caeruleus Schizochytrium sp. takviyesinin SCH büyüme ve deri renklenmesi üzerindeki etkileri araştırıldı. Balıklar başlangıç ortalama ağırlığı 1.93  0.23 g 60 gün boyunca kontrol grubu olarak ticari balık yemi C ve 0.5 SCH05 ve 1 SCH1 SCH takviyeli ticari balık yemi ile beslendi. SCH05 ve SCH1 grupları, C grubuna kıyasla en yüksek son ağırlık FW, ağırlık kazanımı WG ve spesifik büyüme oranı SGR değerlerini ve benzer şekilde olumlu yem değerlendirme oranı FCR seviyelerini gösterdi. SCH1 grubu, parlaklık L ve hue değerleri açısından C ve SCH05 gruplarından istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılıklar gösterdi p0.05. SCH05 ve SCH1 gruplarındaki kırmızılık a değeri, C grubuna kıyasla istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark gösterdi. Ancak, tüm gruplar arasında sarılık b ve kroma Ch değerlerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunamadı. Sonuç olarak, SCH mikroalginin diyet takviyesi olarak dahil edilmesi, büyüme performansını belirgin şekilde teşvik etti ve sarı prenses çiklit balığınının pazarlanabilir boyuta daha hızlı ulaşmasını sağladı. Ayrıca, deri renklenmesinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir artış sağlamamasına rağmen, yemlere 0.5 SCH eklenmesi balıkların estetik çekiciliğini ve piyasa değerini artırabilecek umut verici bir avantaj sunmaktadır.
