A year‐long grow‐out carp polyculture trial was conducted in nine earthen ponds to study the growth performance of Kuria labeo (Labeo gonius) with the different major carps such as catla (Catla catla), silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), rohu (Labeo rohita) and mrigal (Cirrhinus mrigala). Suitable water quality parameters were maintained in ponds through intermittent liming, manuring and fertilization. Three different species combinations of carps were evaluated using silver carp and catla as the common species and varying other carp components as rohu–Kuria labeo, mrigal–Kuria labeo and rohu–mrigal in the three treatments. The ponds were stocked at a combined density of 7500 fingerlings ha?1. Silver carp and catla showed similar growth performances in all the three combinations, suggesting that other carps in the combination do not have any differential influence on their growth. Kuria labeo was compatible with rohu, while competition was observed with mrigal. Although growth performance of Kuria labeo was inferior to that of mrigal, better compatibility of Kuria labeo with rohu helped this combination to yield a biomass equivalent to the mrigal–rohu combination, suggesting feasibility to use Kuria labeo as an alternative species to mrigal in the major carp polyculture system without compromising the total biomass yield.  相似文献

The compatibility of olive barb, Puntius sarana (Hamilton) with major carps was studied in grow-out carp polyculture system for one year in a set of nine earthen ponds of 0.08 ha each. Three different species combinations evaluated were Control: catla (Catla catla Ham.), silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix Valenciennes), rohu (Labeo rohita Hamilton) and mrigal (Cirrhinus mrigala Hamilton) at 0.5:0.5:1:1; T1: catla, silver carp, rohu and olive barb at 0.5:0.5:1:1 and T2: catla, silver carp, mrigal and olive barb at 0.5:0.5:1:1 at combined density of 7500 fingerlings/ha. While survival levels of the carps did not differ significantly in treatments (P > 0.05), silver carp recorded highest survival levels (94–96%) followed by olive barb (87–90%), mrigal (72–74%), rohu (72–73%) and catla (67–69%). The specific growth rate (SGR) and average harvested body weight (ABW) of catla and silver carp did not differ significantly among the treatments revealing their competition with mrigal or olive barb to be minimum. In absence of rohu in T2, both mrigal and olive barb showed higher SGR and ABW revealing minimal competition between these two species, while their lower performance in presence of rohu in Control and T1 indicated inter-specific competition with the latter. Such olive barb–rohu inter-specific competition, however, failed to yield significant effect on growth of rohu as revealed from its non-significant SGR difference in presence and absence of olive barb. The lower FCR (2.54 ± 0.06) and higher treatment biomass production (3418.4 ± 95.0 kg ha− 1 year− 1) in T1 with rohu–olive barb combination compared to T2 with mrigal–olive barb (2.84 ± 0.11; 3155.1 ± 104.7 kg ha− 1 year− 1) indicated feasibility and advantage of culturing rohu with olive barb rather than mrigal in carp polyculture. Further, similar biomass production in Control and T1 also indicated feasibility of replacing mrigal with olive barb in the grow-out carp polyculture system.  相似文献

Fingerling rearing of Indian major carps, Catla catla, Labeo rohita and Cirrhinus mrigala, were conducted in concrete tanks under a polyculture system at a density of 0.3 million fry ha?1 to evaluate the effect of one, two or three feedings per day on growth, survival and feed utilization. Fry were fed with formulated supplementary diet at 10% of biomass per day during the first 15 days, followed by 8% in the next 15 days and 6% thereafter, for 60 days. Feeding of fish three times daily led to higher growth (103.9±8.5 mm/10.3±2.4 g) than those feeding twice (100.2±4.8 mm/9.9±1.5 g) or once (97.2±9.8 mm/9.4±2.1 g) daily, although the values were not significantly different (P>0.05). Survival rate ranging between 72.3% and 75.1% also did not vary significantly (P>0.05) among the treatments. However, higher feeding frequencies resulted in better feed utilization as evident from decreasing feed conversion ratio values. The present study suggested requirement of a higher feeding frequency for rohu compared with catla and mrigal.  相似文献

This study investigated the effects of nursing duration on the subsequent performance of rohu (R) Labeo rohita and mrigal (M) Cirrhina mrigala in polyculture with monosex male Nile tilapia (T) Oreochromis niloticus at four levels of pond fertilization. Nile tilapia, rohu and mrigal were stocked at a ratio of 4:1:1 in a 90‐day trial based on 40 20‐m2 pens fixed in four 400‐m2 earthen ponds. Growth of carp fingerlings during prolonged nursing (5 or 12 months) was stunted compared with fish nursed over a conventional duration of 3 months (3) but showed superior growth subsequently. Mean daily weight gain of stunted rohu (12) ranged from 2.2 to 2.8 g per fish day?1 compared with 1.1–1.6 g per fish day?1 for younger fish (3). The comparable ranges for mrigal were 1.9–2.8 and 1.4–2.1 g per fish day?1. Growth of Nile tilapia was inversely related to duration of carp nursing at the four levels of fertilization. Nile tilapia showed more response to increasing levels of fertilizer input (Y=?1.421+1.716X, where Y is the daily weight gain of Nile tilapia and X is the fertilizer level, r2=0.98, P<0.01, n=12). At a high level of fertilization (3.0 kg N:1.5 kg P ha?1 day?1), performance of stunted fingerlings (5 and 12) of both rohu and mrigal was similar (range 2.3–2.8 g per fish day?1, P>0.05), but younger mrigal (M3) grew faster than rohu (2.1 g per fish day?1 and 1.6 g per fish day?1 respectively). Older rohu (12) appeared to perform particularly well, and Nile tilapia poorly at the lowest level of fertilization (1.5 N:0.75 kg P ha?1 day?1), suggesting the impact of age of seed on competition within polycultures. The net fish yield (NFY) of tilapia was not affected significantly (P>0.05) by differential stocking age of carps; therefore, combined NFY of the three experimental fish species was not affected by the age of carp, as tilapia was the dominant species in polyculture. The highest combined NFY of all species in the most intensively fertilized pond (3.0 N:1.5 P kg ha?1 day?1) was calculated at 4.06±0.08 g·m?2 day?1, which was significantly higher (P<0.001) than the yield (1.82±0.12 g·m?2 day?1) from the pond with the lowest fertilization. At the highest fertilizer level, tilapia, rohu and mrigal contributed 72%, 14% and 14%, respectively, to the NFY, whereas the ratio was 60%, 20% and 20% at the lowest fertilization level. The study indicated that yields from tilapia in polyculture with the two carp species in more eutrophic water can be optimized if advanced nursing of carps is practised. Moreover, higher inputs of inorganic fertilizer and advanced nursing of carp are economically attractive under Bangladeshi conditions. Advanced nursing of rohu also improves its performance in more extensive systems when tilapia densities are high.  相似文献

Growth performance of kuria labeo, Labeo gonius as a component species in the major carp polyculture system was evaluated at two incorporation levels against a control without the species through a year‐round grow‐out study in nine earthen ponds (0.08 ha). Three species ratio of catla, silver carp, rohu, mrigal and kuria labeo at 15:15:40:30:0 (T‐1: control), 15:15:40:20:10 (T‐2) and 15:15:40:10:20 (T‐3) were evaluated as three treatments. The carps were stocked at a combined density of 7500 fingerlings ha?1. Silver carp demonstrated the highest survival (75–81%) followed by rohu (70–76%), catla (69–76%), kuria labeo (69–71%) and mrigal (67–69%). Species‐wise yield attributes such as survival, harvest weight, SGR and biomass yield of silver carp, catla and rohu were similar in their respective treatments. Kuria labeo at 10% inclusion demonstrated 12% higher harvest weight than its 20% inclusion. However, such higher weight gain could not affect the total biomass yields of carps which remained similar among the treatments. Furthermore, harvest weight of kuria labeo at 10% inclusion was comparable to that of mrigal when the latter incorporated at 20–30% level. Therefore, the study suggested 10% to be a suitable incorporation level for kuria labeo in the commercial grow‐out carp polyculture system.  相似文献

Irrigated rice fields have enormous potential for expanding the aquaculture production in rice producing countries. Two field experiments were carried out at the Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, to optimize the productivity of integrated rice–fish systems using Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus (L.), and common carp, Cyprinus carpio L. Both experiments were laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replicates per treatment and regular rice monoculture as control. In the first trial, carp and tilapia were tested in single culture and in mixed culture with supplementary feeding at 2× maintenance level. The highest fish yield was obtained in the carp/tilapia mixed culture (586 ± 125 kg ha− 1), followed by tilapia alone (540 ± 65 kg ha− 1), and carp alone (257 ± 95 kg ha− 1). Carp had significantly lower yield than the other two fish groups (p < 0.05) due to high mortality and inefficient feed utilization. As the carp/tilapia combination performed the best in the first experiment, it was tested with different inputs in the second trial, i.e. regular urea fertilization and two different feeding levels. The feeding levels were: continuous feeding at 2× maintenance level (feed level I) and a declining feeding schedule from 4× to 2× maintenance level (feed level II). The highest fish yield was obtained in feed level II (935 ± 29 kg ha− 1), followed by feed level I (776 ± 22 kg ha− 1), and the non-fed group (515 ± 85 kg ha− 1). Yield differences between the treatments were significant at p < 0.05. Rice yields showed controversial effects between the rice–fish treatments and were dependent on the inputs provided. The highest rice production (4.2 t ha− 1) was obtained from rice–fish plots with regular urea fertilization. Various significant effects of fish on water quality parameters were observed. Fish decreased the dissolved oxygen (DO) and pH value compared to rice only, especially when supplementary feed was provided. Moreover, fish stimulated the growth of phytoplankton and increased chlorophyll-a concentration. In conclusion, carp/tilapia mixed culture with supplementary feeding was found to be optimal for maximizing the output from rice–fish culture.  相似文献

The compatibility and growth performance of silver barb Puntius gonionotus (Barbonymous gonionotus) with the three Indian major carps, i.e., Catla catla, Labeo rohita and Cirrhinus mrigala, were assessed in a 10‐month carp polyculture trial. Treatments T‐1, T‐2, T‐3 and T‐4 were stocked with three of the above four carp species, with an absence of silver barb, mrigal, rohu and catla, respectively, while all four species were stocked in treatment T‐5. The treatments were stocked at 6000 fingerlings ha−1, with an equal species ratio maintained in each treatment. Incorporation of silver barb into the polyculture system neither affected the survival of any carp irrespective of species combination nor yielded significant changes in biomass production among treatments, except for the one without catla, where it was significantly low. The study revealed a higher extent of competition between silver barb and rohu, perceptible from the lower growth of one in the presence of the other. Although a certain level of competition of silver barb with mrigal was evident, competition with catla was not perceptible. Irrespective of species combination with silver barb as a component species, similar total biomass production in treatments revealed the feasibility of its incorporation into the Indian major carp‐based polyculture practice without affecting the total yield.  相似文献

The growth and survival of kalbasu, Labeo calbasu, was evaluated at stocking densities of 5, 10 and 15 million spawn ha−1 in nursery rearing in concrete tanks of 50 m2, each for a period of 25 days. Survival of fry was density dependent and significantly higher (54.5%) at 5 million ha−1 than those at 10 million ha−1 (50.1%) and 15 million ha−1 (46.9%). Similarly, growth and specific growth rate were inversely related to the stocking density and varied significantly among the three densities.  相似文献

The effects of periphyton, grown on bamboo substrates, on growth and production of two Indian major carps, rohu, Labeo rohita (Hamilton) and gonia, Labeo gonius (Linnaeus), were studied at the Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh. For each species, five ponds were provided with bamboo substrates and five ponds without substrate (control). Ponds were stocked at a rate of 10 000 ha?1 in both treatments. There was no discernible difference in water quality parameters between treatments. A large number of plankton (39 genera) showed periphytic nature and colonized the bamboo substrates. Rohu grew faster, resulting in a 77% higher net production (P < 0.05) in the ponds with bamboo substrates compared with the ponds without substrate. In contrast, the growth and production of gonia did not vary significantly (P > 0.05) between the substrate and control ponds. Rohu seems to be a more suitable candidate for periphyton‐based aquaculture systems than gonia.  相似文献

Labeo rohita (rohu) is a commercially popular Indian major carp species in polyculture fish farming system. It feeds mainly on plankton. The adults of rohu have a strong positive selection for phytoplankton, whereas the fingerlings have a strong positive selection for both zooplanktonic and smaller phytoplanktonic sources. Conversely, adults of rohu exhibit a strong negative selection for all zooplanktonic sources and a positive selection for most phytoplanktonic sources. In periphytic environments, the fish grow better feeding on the sub‐periphytic zone in proximity to the substrate. We conclude that rohu is an excellent aquaculture candidate, thanks to its ability to explore natural resources (plankton and periphyton) and transform them to fish biomass in polyculture practice. In contrast to over‐reliance on artificial feed, translation of natural resources for exploration by rohu could be the next step for sustainable carp‐based polyculture practice.  相似文献

A dynamic stock model was used for quantification of shrimp production and analysis of alternative management schemes of stocking density, pond size, starting time of aeration, and duration of cultivation for intensive commercial production of the shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. Databases from Mexican farms were used to calibrate the model. Multiple linear regression models were employed to establish relationships between parameters of the stock model and the management variables. Water quality variables (dissolved oxygen, temperature, and salinity) were complementarily analyzed. The final weight of shrimp was directly related to duration of cultivation and dissolved oxygen, and inversely related to stocking density, pond size, and salinity. There were inverse relationships between the growth coefficient and temperature and dissolved oxygen and between mortality rate and temperature. Dissolved oxygen was significantly related to starting time of aeration. Simple linear regression and an equivalence test indicated that biomass at harvest (after 13 weeks in winter, and 20 weeks in summer) was adequately predicted by using the stock model and the multiple regression models. The highest production (winter, 6900 kg ha−1; summer, 12,600 kg ha−1) were predicted using 60 postlarvae m−2, small ponds (2 ha), and starting aeration at the first week of cultivation; while the lowest yields (winter, 2600 kg ha−1; summer, 6000 kg ha−1) were obtained using 40 postlarvae m−2, large ponds (8 ha), and delaying the start of aeration until the fifth week of cultivation. The lowest production was 38% (winter) and 48% (summer) of the highest yield. Using small ponds could be particularly important during winter cycles to increase production, while stocking density and starting time of aeration contributed less. In contrast, pond size played a minor role during summer cycles and stocking density was the most sensitive variable.  相似文献

In this study, the efficacy of biofloc system was assessed for culturing Indian major carps, e.g., rohu (Labeo rohita), catla (Catla catla), and mrigal (Cirrihinus mrigala) at varied stocking densities (STD) from 4.28, 8.57, and 12.85 fish m−3 of tank volume. Biofloc system could efficiently remove inorganic nitrogen from culture water and substantially improved the growth parameters of fishes as compared to the control system without the application of biofloc. Among different STDs in biofloc system, water quality and floc formation were noted to be higher with a STD of 4.28 fish m−3 and the average concentration of NH4 – N, NO2 – N and NO3 – N of 0.61 mg L−1, 0.35 mg L−1 and 1.8 mg L−1, respectively was recorded lowest as compared to the other STD. As a result, catla and rohu could achieve a specific growth rate of 1.1 % day−1 and 0.98 % day−1, respectively. However, in the other two STDs, the respective concentrations were noted in the range of acceptable water quality, and the growth rates were satisfactory. It can be concluded that the biofloc system is efficient to culture IMC in polyculture mode amd therefore, can be directly applied in scaled-up culture modules.  相似文献

The separation performance of a low-pressure hydrocyclone was tested using fine organic particles from 1 to 700 μm. The dimensions of the low-pressure hydrocyclone were an inflow diameter of 30 mm, a cylinder length of 575 mm, an overflow diameter of 60 mm, an underflow diameter of 50 mm, a cylinder diameter of 335 mm and a cone angle of 68°. The low-pressure hydrocyclone was operated with a lower inlet pressure (average 1.38–5.56 kPa) that could be maintained under water level differences that ranged from 17.5 to 53.5 cm between the water surface of the feeding mass cylinder and the middle of the inlet pipe of the low-pressure hydrocyclone. By varying the inflow rate, underflow ratio and feed concentration, the separation performance of the low-pressure hydrocyclone was affected. The separation performances were determined from total separation efficiency and grade efficiency. Separation performances were determined according to the different inflow rates of 400, 600, 800 and 1000 ml s−1 and their respective underflow ratios that ranged from 5% to 30%. The maximum total separation efficiencies for each inflow rate were 41%, 46% and 46% at 400, 800 and 1000 ml s−1 inflow rates, respectively, and at underflow rates of 30% of the inflow rates. In addition, a total separation efficiency of 46% was employed at 600 ml s−1 of inflow rate and with an underflow rate of 25% its inflow rate. As the feed concentration increased from 25 to 150 mg l−1, the separation performances were gradually decreased. For the fine particles ranging 1–200 μm, the grade efficiency was higher at the higher inflow rate (higher than 600 ml s−1) and higher underflow rate. However, for the coarse particles ranging 400–700 μm, the grade efficiency was higher at the lower inflow rate (lower than 600 ml s−1) and higher underflow rate. The cut-point (d50) values ranged from 30 to 200 μm for a feed size range of 1–700 μm. The Response Surface Method (RSM) model predicted an optimum operating inflow rate and underflow ratio of 721 ml s−1 of inflow rate and 30%, respectively, for the low-pressure hydrocyclone at a maximum total separation efficiency. Based on these findings, further design and operating adaptation of low-pressure hydrocyclones used for fine solids removal in recirculating aquaculture systems is expected.  相似文献

In this work, the practical application of a low-pressure hydrocyclone was examined for feed waste and fecal solid removal for common carp (27 ± 3.1 g, average ± SD) and Nile tilapia (33 ± 3.4 g, average ± SD) in a recirculating aquaculture system. The dimensions of the low-pressure hydrocyclone included an inflow diameter of 30 mm, a cylinder length of 575 mm, an overflow diameter of 60 mm, an underflow diameter of 50 mm, a cylinder diameter of 335 mm and a cone angle of 68°. The different operating conditions tested were inflow rates of 400, 600, 800 and 1000 ml s−1, and underflow rates of 25%, 25%, 20% and 10% of the inflow rates, respectively. Feed waste totals of 4.1 to 4.8% and 3.6 to 4.0% of the feed intake were produced by the common carp and Nile tilapia, respectively. The maximum separation efficiency (Et) for the feed waste from the common carp was 71% at an inflow rate of 600 ml s−1 with an underflow rate of 25% of the inflow rate. The maximum separation efficiency for the feed waste from the tilapia was 59% at an inflow rate of 400 ml s−1 with an underflow rate of 25% of the inflow rate. The fecal solid production estimated from the digestibility was 37.9% and 35.7% of the feed intake for the common carp and Nile tilapia, respectively. The maximum separation efficiency for the feces from the common carp was 60% for an inflow rate of 600 ml s−1 and an underflow rate of 25% of the inflow rate. The maximum separation efficiency for the tilapia feces was 63% at an inflow of 400 ml s−1 with an underflow rate of 25% of the inflow rate. The low-pressure hydrocyclone can be adopted for prefiltration and/or post-filtration for the removal of various sized solids. Furthermore, the solids separated from the underflow can be easily removed for further processing.  相似文献

An experiment was conducted during May to December 2002 to determine growth performance, the highest economic return and suitable species composition in the polyculture of Thai pangus (Pangasius hypophthalmus) with carps (catla, Catla catla and rohu, Labeo rohita) and freshwater giant prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) using low‐cost formulated feed. Three treatments (T1, T2 and T3) were conducted with three replications. The treatment T1 was designed as a monoculture of pangus with a stocking density of 17 500 individual ha?1. The other two treatments (T2 and T3) were designed as polyculture and stocked with pangus, catla, rohu and prawn with densities of 10 000, 2500, 5000, 3750 ha?1; and 10 000, 5000, 2500, 3750 ha?1 in T2 and T3 respectively. The net weight gain and production of pangus were significantly different (P>0.05) between monoculture and polyculture but were not different within the two polyculture systems. The production of catla and rohu were significantly different (P>0.05) in both treatments where prawn was not. Though the gross production (8.53 ton ha?1) was significantly (P>0.05) higher in T1, the higher gross net profit (Tk 154 201 ha?1) was in T2. Thus, the polyculture of pangus is more profitable than its monoculture and the species composition in T2 is more suitable than other composition.  相似文献

A polyculture experiment with the large carp rohu, Labeo rohita (Hamilton), catla, Catla catla (Hamilton) and either mrigal, Cirrhinus mrigala (Hamilton) or common carp, Cyprinus carpio (L.) (as cash crop fish), and the small indigenous fish punti, Puntius sophore (Hamilton) (as food for the small‐scale farmer family) was carried out at the Field Laboratory of the Faculty of Fisheries, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh. The main objective was to compare polycultures of large carp in which the bottom feeder is either the native mrigal or the exotic common carp. Secondary objectives were to assess the effects of adding the small indigenous species punti to polycultures of large carp, and to compare the effects of mrigal and common carp on punti production and reproduction. It was found that (i) common carp damaged embankments, had no effect on catla, improved rohu performance by 50% and total fish production by 20%; (ii) punti addition did not affect rohu, catla and total yield, improved mrigal performance by 50%, and decreased common carp performance by 20%; and (iii) punti was not affected either by common carp or by mrigal. However, its performance was not satisfactory, probably owing to frequent netting, which might have hindered growth and breeding. In spite of the embankment damage caused by common carp, this bottom feeder seems to be more promising than mrigal, because it leads to higher fish production. The addition of punti to the large carp polyculture is a viable proposition, as it does not reduce cash crop production, and might be a good food source for a small‐scale farmer's family.  相似文献

Abstract This experiment was carried out in the framework of a project to develop a viable fish polyculture technology under Bangladeshi conditions that allows simultaneous fish production of small indigenous species for farm families' consumption and of large carp species as a cash crop. The polyculture included the large carp rohu, catla and mirror carp as cash crop fish, and the small indigenous fish punti and mola as food for the small‐scale household. Total large carp stocking density was 10 000 fish ha?1, at a species ratio 1:1:1. Total small fish stocking densities were 0, 25 000 or 50 000 fish ha?1. The objectives were to assess the effects of adding 25 000 punti and/or mola ha?1 on the large carp and environment, and to assess the effects of punti on mola and mola on punti. It was found that catla was not affected by the addition of small fish in any of the combinations tested; rohu was not affected by punti, and mola reduced rohu performance by 30–40% only when punti was not present; mirror carp was not affected by punti, and mola increased mirror carp growth rate and harvesting weight by 25–30% whether punti was present or not; small fish did not significantly affect total yield and food conversion ratio; punti performance was not affected by mola; mola harvesting weight was not affected by punti, while mola harvesting numbers and biomass were reduced by 55–65% by punti. Factor analysis of water quality data identified photosynthesis–respiration and algal biomass– temperature as the main processes governing water quality. Effects of treatment on those water quality factors are analysed, and the fish–water quality relationships discussed. In a parallel polyculture experiment in 25 farm ponds, the performance of large carp species was found to be unaffected by the addition of punti and/or mola. The results indicate that, at the densities tested, punti and mola addition to the large carp polyculture is viable as they do not reduce cash crop production and might be a good food source for the farmer's family.  相似文献

Leakage of water soluble nutrients from larval microparticulated feeds is probably extensive and needs to be further investigated. Leaching rates of 14C-labelled serine, pepsin hydrolysed, protein enriched 14C-algae extract and intact protein enriched 14C-algae extract were measured from three microparticulated feeds for marine fish larvae (heat coagulated, protein bond feed; agglomerated feed; protein encapsulated feed). The effects of particle size (< 0.3 mm, 0.3–0.6 mm; 0.6–1.0 mm) and immersion time (1–60 min) in salt water were also tested. Leaching increased by decreasing molecular weight of leaching component (P < 10− 5), by the feeds in order encapsulated, heat coagulated and agglomerated feeds (P < 10− 5), by longer immersion time (P < 10− 5), and by decreasing feed particle size (P < 10− 5). Due to low protein content of the algae extract, the leaching rates of intact and hydrolysed algae extract did not represent absolute estimates for protein and hydrolysed protein leaching. A new estimate for leakage of hydrolysed protein was calculated based on molecular weight distribution of the hydrolysed algae extract analysed by cutoff centrifugation of the extract. Assuming that molecules < 300–600 or < 9–18 kD would leak, leakage of hydrolysed protein from the smallest feed particles after 5 min immersion would be 80–98%, 43–54% and 4–6% of the agglomerated, heat coagulated and protein encapsulated feeds, respectively. The feeds were also tested for preference in cod larvae of two different sizes (5.6 ± 2.5 mg and 15.8 ± 7.2 mg). The preference was highest for the heat coagulated feed in the first experiment (feed intake 0.32 ± 0.06 mg dry feed larvae− 1) and the agglomerated in the second (2.04 ± 0.32 mg dry feed larvae− 1), while the protein encapsulated feed was preferred at lower rates in both experiments (0.11–0.14 mg dry feed larvae− 1).  相似文献

Inland shrimp culture is being practiced in several regions of the United States. In Alabama, the culture of shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) in inland low salinity well water (approximately 4.0 ppt) faces several challenges. The ionic composition of these waters is deficient in several key minerals, including potassium (K+) and magnesium (Mg2+). The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of several aqueous K+ and Mg2+ concentrations on survival, growth, and respiration in juvenile L. vannamei. Two experiments, a 14-day trial with postlarvae and a 7-week trial with juvenile (∼ 0.2 g) shrimp were conducted to evaluate effects of K+ supplementation to culture water. Four different levels of K+ (5, 10, 20, and 40 mg l− 1) were utilized and a treatment of 4 ppt reconstituted seawater was used as a reference for comparison to ideal ionic ratios. Additionally, a 6-week growth trial (∼ 1 g juvenile shrimp) was performed to evaluate the effects of five concentrations of Mg2+ (10, 20, 40, 80, 160 mg l− 1). Following completion of growth trials, measurements of basal respirometry rates were conducted to assess stress. Results from the 7-week K+ growth trial indicated significant differences (P < 0.05) in survival and growth among treatments. Individual weight, specific growth rate, and percent weight gain appeared to increase with increasing K+ concentration (decreasing Na:K ratios). Results from the Mg2+ experiment reveal a significant difference in survival between the lowest Mg2+ treatment (60%) and all other experimental treatments (90–97%). However, no differences in growth were observed. Shrimp respiration in the lowest Mg2+ treatment (10 mg l− 1) was significantly higher than in the 80 mg l− 1 treatment.
