    abstract = {The nutrient utilization and growth response of fingerlings of <I>Clarias gariepinus</I> to cooked African Breadfruit Seed Meal (ABSM) diets was investigated. Cooked ABSM which is the test ingredient was included at 0, 20, 40, 60 and 80% in 5 diets formulated at 40% crude protein level and the diets were used to feed the fish. Each treatment was replicated twice and the experiment lasted for 70 days. Fish fed D2 (20% inclusion level) had the best growth rate with SGR of 1.66&plusmn;0.04, FCR of 2.04&plusmn;0.06 and PER of 0.61&plusmn;0.03 followed by the fish fed the control diet (0% inclusion level) while fish fed diets D5 (80% inclusion level) had the least growth rate with SGR of 1.31&plusmn;0.04, FCR of 2.95&plusmn;0.08 and PER of 0.42&plusmn;0.01. It can be concluded that African breadfruits seed meal can replace maize at 20% inclusion level as an energy source in the diet of <I>Clarias gariepinus</I> fingerlings.}
