Abstract

The present study was conducted in order to investigate the effect of different levels of Spirulina platensis on the growth performance and composition of Anodonta cygnea carcass. These mussels were caught from Selka area of ​​Anzali lagoon and transferred to the laboratory. After acclimatization, 72 mussels (6 per replicate) with an average weight of 55.80±3.26g were distributed among twelve 3-liter plastic tanks filled with well water. Mussels, during 16 weeks, were fed with four different diets including C: control (green water produced with well water), T1: 70% green water + 30% Spirulina powder solution, T2: 40% green water + 60% Spirulina powder solution and T3: 100 mL Spirulina powder solution. During the feeding period, water temperature was recorded as 17.51±0.45°C. After 8 and 16 weeks, 3 mussels from each tank (replicate) were collected to measure carcass composition including protein, fat, moisture and ash contents. Based on the results, no significant difference was observed in growth indices. Examining the proximate composition of the carcass in week 8 showed the percentage of protein at the beginning of the experiment was significantly lower than T2 and T3 treatments (P<0.05). No significant difference was observed between the amounts of fat and ash in different treatments (P>0.05). The amount of moisture in the control treatment was significantly lower than the other treatments (P<0.05). Also, after the end of the feeding period (16 weeks), the protein, fat, dry matter and ash contents ​​were significantly more than the beginning of experiment (P<0.05). In conclusion, according to the obtained results, it is recommended to use Spirulina in the diet of Anodonta mussel due to its effect on increasing the amount of carcass protein.
