Abstract: The study investigated the growth performance of tilapia; Oreochromis niloticus (L) fingerlings (1.6±0.02g) fed isonitrogenous diets of 30% crude protein. Mellon shell meal (MSM) was used to replace maize at inclusion levels of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% designated as diets 1 to 5 respectively. Replicate of the treatments were randomly arranged in an outdoor aquaria facility. The feeding trial lasted for 56 days. The results obtained showed significant differences (P0.05). It can be concluded that Mellon shell meal inclusion in the diet of Tilapia up to 75% can be effectively utilized by the Oreochromis niloticus
