Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), followed by a further Ducan’s Multiple Range Test. Parameters observed in the study included absolute weight growth, absolute length growth, feed conversion ratio, and survival. The results of these observations had a significant effect on the increase in absolute weight with the highest treatment found in treatment C (adult silk worms) of 1.56 grams and the increase in absolute length had a significant effect with the highest treatment found in treatment C (adult silkworms) of 8.47 centimetres. However, it does not have a significant effect on the feed conversion ratio and the survival of nilem fish seeds (Osteochilus hasselti).
