Abstract: One of the challenges facing aquaculture industry is high cost of fishmeal. Thus, the need for researches into alternative protein sources especially, from non-competitive plant protein sources becomes imperative. Locust bean (Parkia biglobosa) is a plant protein source whose nutrients usability was experimented upon in the African catfish fingerlings (Clarias gariepinus) of mean weight (3.46±0.01g). Five hundred and eight five (585) fishes were randomly distributed in 20 fishes in triplicate. They were fed 13 experimental diets at 50% crude protein containing differently processed locust bean meal (raw, boiled, fermented and toasted) at four inclusion levels (0%, 5%, 10% and 15%). They were fed at 3% body weight that was adjusted fortnightly. The results obtained indicated significant differences for the treatments.
