Daily rates of ingestion on rotifers and Artemia nauplii by laboratory-reared grouper larvae of Epinephelus suillus
(San Carlos Publications, University of San Carlos, 1994)
The amount of rotifers and Artemia nauplii consumed daily by the grouper Epinephelus suillus larvae was determined through examination of gut contents. The larvae (2.6 mm TL) were initially fed rotifers on day 2 and newly ...
Preliminary studies on the rearing of the red-spotted grouper, Epinephelus coioides larvae using copepod nauplii as initial food
(University of the Philippines in the Visayas, 1996)
One day old red-spotted grouper (Epinephelus coioides) larvae from SEAFDEC, Iloilo, were packed at 3.300 ind/L and transported to Dagupan, Pangasinan for larval rearing. Transport time was about 10 hours. More than 90% of ...
Use of copepod nauplii during early feeding stage of grouper Epinephelus coioides
(Japanese Society of Fisheries Science, 1999)
Newly-hatched Epinephelus coioides larvae were stocked in five 5-ton tanks at an initial density of 25, 000 ind/tank. Copepod nauplii were propagated in four of these tanks by inoculating various densities (20 to 80 ind/l) ...
Enrichment of live food with essential fatty acids and vitamin C: effects on milkfish (Chanos chanos) larval performance
(Elsevier, 1998)
The effects of essential fatty acids (EFA) and vitamin C-enriched live food on growth, survival, resistance to salinity stress and incidence of deformity in milkfish larvae reared in tanks were investigated. Larvae were ...
Sulphur amino acid requirement of juvenile Asian sea bass Lates calcarifer
(John Wiley and Sons, 1999)
The dietary requirement of juvenile Asian sea bass Lates calcarifer for total sulphur amino acids was studied. Fish (average initial weight of 2.59 plus or minus 0.08 g) were reared in twelve 500 L fibreglass tanks provided ...
Requirements of juvenile milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal) for essential amino acids
(American Society for Nutrition, 1993)
The dietary requirements of juvenile milkfish (Chanos chanos Forsskal) for essential amino acids were determined in a series of experiments. The fish (< or = 8.0 g) were reared in fiber glass tanks provided with flow-through ...
Growth, survival and feed conversion of Nile tilapia fingerlings fed diets containing Bayo-n-ox, a commercial growth promoter
(Society of Israeli Aquaculture and Marine Biotechnology, 1991)
A feeding experiment was conducted to determine the effect of a commercial growth promoter, Bayo-n-ox, on Nile tilapia fingerlings (mean initial weight 3.6 g). After 6 weeks, the weight gain of fish given 25 mg Bayo-n-ox/kg ...
Growth of juvenile Asian seabass, Lates calcarifer, fed varying carbohydrate and lipid levels
(Elsevier, 1997)
Growth performance of juvenile seabass (initial mean body weight, 0.90 ± 0.04 g) fed varying carbohydrate and lipid levels were determined using practical diets in a 2 × 3 factorial experiment. Two carbohydrate levels (15 ...
The effect of lipid-enriched broodstock diets on spawning and on egg and larval quality of hatchery-bred rabbitfish (Siganus guttatus)
(San Carlos Publications, University of San Carlos, 1994)
Three isocaloric and isonitrogenous diets formulated to contain 12 (diet A), 15 (B) and 18% (C) lipids were tested on hatchery-bred rabbitfish Siganus guttatus broodstock to determine their effect on spawning and quality ...
Effect of dietary fatty acids on growth of milkfish Chanos chanos fry in brackish water
(Elsevier, 1996)
Five purified microbound diets containing 1% of 18:2n − 6, 18:3n − 3, 20:4n − 6, or n − 3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA: 60% 20:5n − 3 + 40% 22:6n − 3) in addition to 8% 18:1n − 9, and a control diet containing 9% ...
