This study was conducted with Israeli strain of common carp to determine apparent protein, lipid and gross energy digestibility coefficients and apparent calcium and phosphorus availabilities of the following feedstuffs : steam-dried white fish meal (WFM-S), flame-dried white fish meal (WFM-F), brown fish meal (BFM), soybean meal (SBM), corn gluten meal (CGM), sesame meal (SSM), wheat flour (WFL), brewer's yeast (BY) and monocalcium phosphate (MCP). Test diets consisting of a 70:30 mixture of refoernce diet to test ingredient were utilized with chromic oxide as an external indicator. Fecal collection was made during 10 days before the end of feeding trial lasted for 27 days. The best weight gain and feed utilization were found in fish fed MCP containing test diet. Protein digestibility was high for most ingredients, ranging from 81.2% for BY to 91.9% for SBM, with the exception of SSM which was 77.6%. Lipid digestibility coefficients ranged 74% for CGM to 85.8% for two kinds of white fish meal. Digestible energy coefficients were generally high for fish meals, ranging from 77.4% for WFM-S to 81.3% for WFM-F, whereas those for plant feedstuffs were significantly (P<0.05) lower, from 64.5% for CGM to 70.6% for BY. Phosphorus availability from fish meals was variable with a low of 6.6% for WFM-F and a high of 13.6% for WFM-S. Phosphorus availability from SBM and BY was 7.3% and 57.2%, respectively. Calcium and phosphorus availabilities from MCP were 84.6% and 80.6%, respectively. These results provide more precise information concerning nutrients and energy utilization of Israeli strain of common carp and will allow ingredient substitutions in practical diet formulations based on levels of availabile protein and phosphorus.

Halotolerant microalga Dunaliella bardawil was reported to massively accumulate the ${\beta}$-carotene, which protects cells from excess light intensity. Maximum specific growth rate of 0.168/hr was achieved when cells were cultivated at 1 N NaCl, pH 8.0, light intensity 80 ${\mu}E/m^{2}/s$, agitation 70rpm. For the effectiv accumulation of ${\beta}$-carotene, ozone ro hydrogen peroxide was added to media which was irradiated with white fuorescent lamps with moderate light intensity of 250 ${\mu}E/m^{2}/s$. As a result, maximum volumetric content of ${\beta}$-carotene was 324 ${\mu}$g/㎖. The ${\beta}$-carotene extraction efficiency of vegetable oils was in the order of olive oil, sesame oil, rice brain oil, corn oil, and soy bean oil. Sonication and warming was effective in ${\mu}$-carotene extraction and finally 96.9% of ${\beta}$ could be extracted using olive oil.
