Özet: This study was conducted to evaluate the potential of sweet potato Ipomoea batatas powder (IbSPP), hot-water extracts (IbSPHWE) and crude ethanolic extracts (IbSPCEE) as growth promoter and immunoenhancer for tilapia cultured in hapa nets. Fish were divided randomly into four Treatments: T1 (control group) was fed a practical diet (PD) while T2, T3 and T4 were fed PD + IbSP powder (P), PD + IbSP hot-water extract (HWE), PD + IbSP Crude Ethanol Extracts (CCE), respectively. The growth indices and haematological profile of cultured fish were recorded after four months of feeding experiment.
