AB  - The utilization of cheap, abundant, highly prolific whole <I>Tilapia nilotica</I> (<I>Oreochromis niloticus</I>) processed for fish paste, cake and especially fish meal in fish diets as an alternative to conventional fishmeal is tested in this study. Eight differently processed whole <I>Tilapia nilotica</I> fish paste preparations were set up for 7 days. Also well processed  dried fish cake and fish meal were produced and kept for 3 months. The unfermented, cooked, salted and frozen (at-25&deg;) fish paste (super grade 1) of crude protein (c.p) 52.13% was the best. The fish cake (c.p-38.59%) and fish meal (c.p-65.69%) qualities were intact at 3 months.
