Abstract: This study aims to evaluate the effect of utilizing Locust Bean (Parkia biglobosa) Seed Meal (LBSM) as an alternate protein source for Clarias gariepinus. The study was conducted in Nwochas Farm, Maiduguri. The experimental diets were formulated to contain LBSM at levels of 25%, 50%, 75% inclusions and were labelled as T2, T3, T4 respectively with diet T1 acting as control. All diets were formulated isonitrogenously using pearson square method with 35% Crude Protein. A 56 days feeding trial was conducted using Clarias gariepinus fingerlings which were randomly distributed in a 2m x 2m2 hapas in earthen ponds in triplicates at a stocking rate of 20 fish per hapa. The experimental design was completely randomized. The fish were fed at 5% body weight twice daily. The proximate analysis of the diets and carcass composition of the diets and water quality parameters were determined. Data of each parameters were subjected to ANOVA while means of various results were compared at 5% level of significance. The results showed that there was no significant different (p
