flesh or muscle production and higher income to the farmers. The result obtained also support the verdict of
Crampton (1985) that reduced feeding and good conversion efficiencies positively affected the profitability of an
intensive aquaculture system. The best cost benefit ratio was observed in OGM2 diet with the highest total feed
intake and total final weight gain. Therefore, the inclusion of basil leaf at 0.125% is recommended for the
sustainable production of catfish in Nigeria / Africa, while at higher dosage of 1% and above it could indicate
toxic effects.
