Abstract

In this study, the effects of feeding with five different feeds (Artemia sp., Daphnia sp., Commercial fish food + Artemia sp., Artificial fish food + Daphnia sp., Artificial fish food) on growth of fry guppies were investigated with three replicates. The experiment lasted 60 days. Between the groups, fish fed with Artemia supplement to artificial fish food (3. group) were obtained the best growth (weight, lenght, specific growth rate) performance and survival rate. However, the lowest growth performance and survival rate were obtained from fish fed with Daphnia sp. (2. group). The results, among the groups, were statisticaly significant (p

In both laboratory and outdoor culture environments, Heterobranchus longifilis larvae fed a combination (Diet 1) of mixed live zooplankton and artificial diet grew significantly longer (p<0.01) than those fed mixed live zooplankton (Diet 2) or an artificial diet (Diet 3; 0.5 mm particle size) alone. Those fed the zooplankton grew significantly longer (p<0.01) than the larvae fed the artificial diet. Larvae fed Artemia nauplii (Diet 4) were significantly longer (p<0.01) than larvae fed Diets 1, 2 and 3 on both the 6th and 11th days of culture. The overall best biomass (8.3 g) was obtained by larvae fed Diet 1 followed by Diets 2 (4.9 g), 3 (2.1 g) and lastly 4 (2.0 g). At day 11, the best individual growth (3.4 cm, standard length; 0.47 g wet weight) was recorded among larvae fed Diet 4, followed by 2.1 cm and 0.13 g for Diet 1, 1.5 cm and 0.06 g for Diet 2 and 1.3 cm and 0.04 g for Diet 3. Specific growth rates were 4.8%, 34.8%, 28.3% and 23.1% for larvae fed Diets 4, 1, 2 and 3, respectively. The decrease in survival from day 6 to 11 was 98% to 79%; 76% to 65%; 73% to 61% and 28.25% to 4.25%, for diets 2, 1, 3 and 4, respectively. In the outdoor culture, larvae fed Diet 1 grew significantly longer and had a higher SGR than those fed Diets 2 or 3.

Intensive grow-out of goldfish, Carassius auratus (L.), larvae and juveniles in closed systems requires the control of environmental conditions and feeding. This study investigates the use of different types of live food and combinations of live food and dry food in a series of four rearing experiments. Juvenile goldfish can be weaned from Artemia onto live food at about 24 days after the onset of feeding without causing a reduction in growth and survival. The replacement of Artemia by Daphnia at day 10 appears feasible, as growth and survival were not significantly affected. Fish fed decapsulated Artemia cysts grew better than fish fed live Artemia. Within the first 14 days, goldfish juveniles should be fed at least 155 cysts per fish per day to achieve fast growth and to minimize size variation.

This study concerns the effect of feeding artificial diets containing varying levels of dietary protein (13%—49%) on the growth of fingerling pearl gourami, Trichogaster leerii (Bleeker, 1852). The growth rate increased significantly with increasing dietary protein content, but it was observed that the increase in growth rate was faster within the 13–32% range than in the 32–49% range. Feed utilization efficiency increased, and protein efficiency decreased, with increasing dietary protein. On the basis of this study, the optimum dietary protein level for T. leerii is between 26 and 36%.

The free-living nematode Panagrellus redivivus was mass produced on a solid culture medium enriched with sunflower oil or fish oil by means of a new technology. Nematodes with different fatty acid compositions were obtained. A 7-day experiment was performed in order to compare the lipid enriched nematodes with Artemia as live food for first feeding common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) larvae. Larvae fed nematodes doubled their body mass and had a mean survival rate higher than 80%. No significant differences could be observed between the two groups fed nematodes. Fish larvae fed with Artemia showed almost no mortality and had a final body mass five times higher than larvae fed nematodes. It is concluded that mass produced nematodes are a promising food source for first feeding common carp larvae. However, further research is needed on the development of improved culture media to increase the nutritional value of P. redivivus.

The aim of this work was to study the influence of three diets on the nutritional status of goldfish larvae. The evaluation criteria for food quality were: growth and survival of the larvae, proteolytic activity of a trypsin-like enzyme as well as the structure and ultrastructure of the hepatopancreas. Immediately after the resorption of the yolk sac, the goldfish larvae were distributed into 9 rearing tanks (700 larvae each) under constant photoperiod (L:D 16:8) and temperature (24°C). The fish were offered three different diets: D1 (Artemia nauplii), D2 (Artemia nauplii + 50% dry feed) and D3 (dry feed). After a 21-day experiment, best results for growth and survival were obtained with diets D1 and D2 (P<0.001). At the end of the second week, growth rate was high in the groups fed with diet D1, intermediate in the D2-fed groups and low in the D3-fed groups. These results can be directly related to the differences in tryptic activity in the goldfish larvae (P<0.001). During the third week, however, the best specific growth rate and highest tryptic activity were observed in the groups fed the mixed diet. Tryptic activity in larvae fed dry feed was low during the whole experiment (lower than 0.03 IU/mg of larvae instead of up to 0.09 and 0.08 IU/mg of fish in groups fed with Artemia and mixed diets). The liver and hepatocyte structures of the larvae fed D1 and D2 diets showed no signs of anomaly, contrary to what was observed in D3-fed larvae (irregularly linked hepatocytes, numerous blood vessels, absence of Golgi apparatus but high lysosome number in the hepatocytes).

The guppy, Poecilia reticulata, molly (P. sphenops and P. latipinna), swordtail (XiphopJwrus helleri) and platy (X. maculatus and X. variatus) are livebearing fishes of the family Poeciliidae. They account for about 30% of ornamental fishes that are cultured in Singapore for export. Local farmers daily prepared feeds for guppies, swordtails and platies. Guppy feeds consisted. of 70-80% ground wheat bran or oats, 10- 15% fish meal, poultry starter crumbles or ground dried shrimp and 5-20% skimmed milk or buttermilk. The crude protein (CP), nitrogen-free extract (NFE) and crude fat (CF) levels of these diets ranged from 15 to 34%, 48 to 77% and 3 to 7%, respectively, of the total dry weight. Platy and swordtail feeds consisted of 60-80% wheat bran and 20-40% fish meal, with CP, NFE and CF levels of 18-26%, 53-63% and about 5%, respectively. Natura l organisms in ponds formed an essential part of the molly diet. Ponds were fertilized with chicken, duck or pig manure. Bread crusts and ground wheat bran supplemented these natural foods of molly fry and adults. The fry of all species were given live Moina sp. and broodstock live tubificiids. Formulated diets were given once or twice each day; supplementary items usually once.

Lipid and fatty acid composition of broodstock diet have been identified as major dietary factors that determine successful reproduction and survival of offspring. Some fish species readily incorporate dietary unsaturated fatty acids into eggs, even during the course of the spawning season. Highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) with 20 or more carbon atoms affect, directly or through their metabolites, fish maturation and steroidogenesis. In some species, HUFA in broodstock diets increases fecundity, fertilization and egg quality. As in higher vertebrates, vitamin E deficiency affects reproductive performance, causing immature gonads and lower hatching rate and survival of offspring. For example, elevation of dietary α-tocopherol levels has been found to reduce the percentage of abnormal eggs and increase fecundity in the gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata). Ascorbic acid has also been shown to play an important role in salmonid reproduction, where the dietary requirement of broodstock was higher than that of juveniles. Among different feed ingredients, cuttlefish, squid and krill meals are recognized as valuable components of broodstock diets. The protein component of cuttlefish and squid together with their optimal concentration of HUFA appear to be responsible for their positive effect on reproductive performance. Both polar and nonpolar lipid fractions of raw krill were found to effectively improve egg quality. © 2001 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

Experiments were performed to investigate the influence of feeding frequency on growth, gonad weight and fecundity in an ornamental fish, Betta splendens. Five groups of 30-day-old juveniles (0.045±0.01 g; 14.43±2.2 mm) were fed either one meal in three days, one meal in two days, one meal per day, two meals per day or three meals per day for 77 days. Mean body length and weight increased linearly in all groups. However, the feeding, growth and fecundity rates increased with feeding frequency up to two meals a day, thereafter they declined. Fish fed once in three days consumed only 266 mg feed (dry weight) that was converted into 61 mg flesh (dry weight). Fish fed once in two days consumed 384 mg and gained 116 mg flesh. For fish fed once a day, 543 mg were consumed and converted to 175 mg flesh. For those fed twice a day, 1000 mg feed produced 279 mg flesh and for those fed three times a day, 886 mg food produced 242 mg flesh. The growth rate was significantly and drastically lower in all groups after spawning began, perhaps due to diversion of assimilated food energy for egg production. The gonad developed significantly (p<0.05) earlier in fish given at least one meal per day and weighed 85.5, 158 and 246.5 mg (wet weight) in fish fed once, twice and three times per day, respectively, on day 35 while it weighed only 56 and 93.5 mg on day 63 in fish fed once in three or two days, respectively. A similar trend was noted in the gonadosomatic index. Female B. splendens laid 274 and 454 eggs in groups fed once in three or two days, and 1833, 2202 and 632 eggs in groups fed once, twice or three times a day, respectively. Feeding three times a day resulted in total mortality of the spawners during the third spawn. Two meals a day elicited the maximum growth and reproductive performance and hence is considered optimal for B. splendens.

Groups of eight small mirror carp were grown in tanks supplied with both natural food and a high-protein supplement. Fish growth and the distribution of supplement between individuals were assessed with three levels of natural food ration. The results confirm that growth of individual fish in each group was very variable but was not closely related to the ability of fish to compete for supplementary pellets. Fish growth was influenced by the presence of natural food: natural food levels had a significant and positive influence on SGR; some fish competed poorly for supplement but maintained high growth rates, presumably by specialising on natural food; variability in supplement competition index was greater in the group of fish given a large ration of natural food than in those groups given smaller rations. The data emphasise our limited understanding of the interactions that exist within small groups of fish given both natural food and supplement.

Grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) and bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) larvae fed freshwater rotifers (Brachionus rubens) were consistently longer and heavier at the end of the 3-week feeding trials than those fed the other foods tested. The final length of grass carp fed nematodes (Panagrellus sp.) was the lowest of the live foods tested, however, the length of bighead carp fed Panagrellus was not significantly different from those fed brine shrimp nauplii Artemia salina. Growth of grass carp fed the two commercial dry diets (Ewos Larvstart and Fry Feed Kyowa A) was less than those fed the three live foods. Bighead carp grew well on the commercial diets, but results were somewhat inconsistent.Construction of a simple, inexpensive airlift sponge filter is described. This filter provided adequate water quality, resulting in excellent survival at densities as high as 57 individuals/l with no addition of freshwater. The airlift sponge filter has great potential for intensive larval rearing.

Singapore is known internationally as a breeding centre for the guppy, Poecilia reticulata. About 30 domesticated colour pattern and tail shape varieties are reared, mainly for export. The culture of these varieties at two rural and eight resettled farms is described. All farms are small family concerns. The resettled farms practise monoculture of guppies while the rural ones integrated farming. Guppies are reared in large, shallow, outdoor, cement tanks and nylon cage-nets suspended in ponds. Water in aquaria and ponds has salinities from 0.5 to 9.0‰, at neutral or alkaline pH of 7.0 to 8.3. The sizes and stocking densities of aquaria and nets vary within and between farms. In breeding tanks, a male to female sex ratio of 1:3, 1:4 or 1:10 is maintained. Newborn fry are collected daily and placed in nursery aquaria. After 3 weeks, these fry are sexed: young males are transferred to grow-out cement tanks, and females to grow-out cagenets. Each farm has at least two ponds, one for water storage and the others for cagenet culture. Strains are cultured separately to maintain pure lines. Farmers improve colour patterns, size and fin shapes of the strains by continued mass selection. Four- to 6-month-old guppies are selected as brookstock and the rest which meet export quality are held in stocking aquaria and sold when demand arises.Each farmer prepares his own formulated diet for the fish. Supplemental foods like live tubificiids, commercial dried fish flakes, or floating pellets may be given to adults, and water fleas to fry. The rural farms add pig manure to fertilise the tanks.To remain viable in the future, farmers need to increase productivity by mechanising cleaning, draining, and filling tanks and ponds, feeding, and harvesting of the fish. This will cut down on labour and its increasing cost. Understanding the genetics of economically important characters will also help farmers produce higher quality and more exotic strains.

Benzocaine is an effective general anesthetic for fish. Its solubility was determined in waters of various hardness and pH and over a range of temperatures (from 5 to 30°C). Variations in water hardness and pH did not appreciably affect the solubility of Benzocaine, whereas increases in temperature increased solubility from 409 mg/L (at 5°C) to 1,118 mg/L (at 30°C).

The suitability of decapsulated cysts of the fairy shrimp, Streptocephalus dichotomus as a sole diet was evaluated for the ornamental angelfish Pterophylum scalare larvae. Brine shrimp, Artemia sp., and microworms, Panagrellus redivivus, were used as comparison foods. The results indicate an appreciable weight gain of 15.22±1.69 mg and a growth (length) of 0.876±0.03 cm in experimental fish fed decapsulated fairy shrimp cysts compared with the growth and weight of fish fed other foods. The influence of the experimental diets was further reflected in the composition of fatty acid and amino-acid profiles of the experimental fish. Angelfish larvae readily consumed the decapsulated cysts and utilized them efficiently during the early days of exogenous feeding.

Little is known about the larviculture of the chub, Leuciscus cephalus (L.), an endangered cyprinid species endemic to European flowing waters. The use of decapsulated Artemia cysts as food for chub larviculture was investigated. After 3-day feeding with the rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus, the larvae were fed on different diets: (i) dried decapsulated Artemia cysts, (ii) Artemia nauplii, (iii) rotifers for seven more days and then Daphnia collected from a pond, and (iv) an artificial diet. After a 24-day rearing period, the highest survival rate was obtained with the larvae receiving decapsulated Artemia cysts. Feeding of the larvae with an artificial diet resulted in a significantly lower survival rate compared with the other groups. At the end of the experiment, the larvae fed on Artemia nauplii yielded a significantly higher mean length compared with the other groups. Feeding an artificial diet resulted in a significantly lower average weight and mean length gain compared with the other groups.

The use of Panagrellus redivivus as live feed for bighead carp and Asian catfish larvae was tested. In experiment 1, carp larvae were given Artemia nauplii (control) or Panagrellus twice daily for 21 days. A third treatment consisted of unfed larvae. The same three treatments were used in experiment 2 plus another with a commercial entomopathogenic nematode (EPN). Bighead carp larvae given Panagrellus in experiment 1 had much lower growth and survival than those fed Artemia nauplii. This could be due to low nematode density (5–30 mL−1 water) during feeding. The unfed larvae had 100% mortality by days 11–13. In experiment 2, growth and survival of carp larvae given Artemia nauplii (5–10 mL−1) and Panagrellus (50 mL−1) did not differ significantly (P > 0.05). All unfed larvae had died by day 13, while larvae fed EPN were all dead by day 8. Two experiments on Asian catfish were likewise conducted. In experiment 1, the catfish larvae were fed Tubifex (ad libitum), Panagrellus (50–100 mL−1 per feeding) orArtemia (5 nauplii mL−1 per feeding) three times daily for 14 days. In experiment 2, larvae were fed Artemia alone (10 nauplii mL−1 per feeding), Panagrellus alone (100 mL−1 per feeding), or their combination with a 38% protein dry diet twice daily. For both experiments, catfish larvae fed Panagrellus had significantly lower growth and survival than those fed Tubifex or Artemia. The combination of Panagrellus and dry diet created little improvement in the growth and survival of catfish larvae.

Although fish have been kept for more than three centuries as ornamentals, and the development of manufactured feed since 50 years ago has contributed to the tremendous growth of this hobby, nutrition of ornamental fish is based on extrapolation of results derived from food fishes under intensive farming conditions. Some research on nutrient (protein, minerals) requirements of growing freshwater ornamental species (live-bearers) in a production environment has been conducted, mainly in Singapore, with emphasis on the provision of live feed during the early stages of the life cycle. Protein requirements varied from around 30% dietary protein for growing omnivorous goldfish (Carassius auratus) to 50% for the carnivorous discus (Symphysodon aequifasciata). Whereas mineral (phosphorus, iron, magnesium, zinc) requirements have received some attention in the guppy (Poecilia reticulata), few researches have concentrated on vitamin requirements of ornamental species. Requirements for fatty acids have been conducted mainly on marine ornamentals (damselfish, seahorses), and accentuated the need for dietary supplementation of n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids. Fish kept in public and home aquaria presents the problem of diversity of species in the same enclosure, each with its own specific requirements and needs. Maintenance energy levels of ornamental fish varied from 0.068 kJ per day for small neon tetras (Paracheirodon innesi) to 0.51 kJ per day for moonlight gouramis (Trichogaster microlepsis) kept at a water temperature of 26°C. Research on nutrient requirements of ornamental fish urges for suitable measurements other than only growth rate in order to determine optimal dietary inclusion levels. © 2003 Elsevier SAS and Ifremer/IRD/Inra/Cemagref.

The effects of feeding guppy (Poecilia reticulata) fry a diet offered as either powder or flakes on their growth and survival were tested over a period of 8 weeks. The results show that the growth of both male and female fish was considerably enhanced when the diet was presented in the form of a finely ground powder compared with a flake form. Final average weights of fish given a diet containing the exact same ingredients (44.9% protein and 6.1% fat), from the same batch of raw materials in the powdered form were 280.0±12.1 mg compared with 114.6±19.9 mg for the diet given in the form of flakes. In a diet that had a higher fat level (45.1% protein and 10.6% fat), the difference in final weight attained was even more dramatic: 303.9±16.7 mg for the powder-fed fish compared with 92.6±12.5 mg for the flake-fed fish. The coefficient of variance in the fish fed a flake diet was significantly higher than that exhibited in the treatments fed the powder feed. The ability of the fish to consume the food in a rapid manner, preventing leaching of vital nutrients from the feed before being engulfed by the fish probably led to the better growth results exhibited by the fish given the powdered food.

Two series of feeding experiments were conducted to study the feasibility of using decapsulated Artemia cysts for direct feeding to ornamental fish. The first series evaluated the dietary values of the dried and the brine decapsulated Artemia cysts against two conventional live feeds, Artemia nauplii and Moina for adults and fry of the guppy, Poecilia reticulata Peters. In the second series, brine cysts were used for feeding to fry of four other important ornamental fish species, viz. platy, Xiphophorus maculatus (Günther), swordtail, X. helleri (Heckel), molly, P. sphenops Cuvier & Valenciennes and black neon tetra, Hyphessobrycon herbertaxelrodi Géry, and the results were compared with those fed Moina. Evaluation of the performance of the fish fed the various diets was based on stress resistance, growth and survival of the fish. Our findings indicated that decapsulated cysts could be used as a substitute for Artemia nauplii or Moina in freshwater ornamental fish culture. Apart from being a hygienic off-the-shelf feed, the direct use of the cysts also signifies a new area of application for low-hatch cysts in the ornamental fish industry, with concomitant saving in feed costs.

Three protein levels (30%, 38% and 45%) at three different dietary lipid concentrations (6%, 8% and 12%) were used to formulate nine different diets that were fed for 60 days to 6–8 weeks old juvenile swordtails (Xiphophorus helleri). It would appear that a diet of at least 45% protein at a 6% lipid concentration is needed for the best specific growth rate (1.27% per day) and feed conversion ratio (2.50) at this specific growth phase in X. helleri. No ‘protein sparing effect’ was found when lipid concentration was increased at lower protein levels.

There has been rapid development in the marine foodfishlarviculture technology in Europe since the early eighties,especially in the flat fish, turbot and halibut, and the bass andbream species. The most significant improvements in the eightieswere the introduction of light control, artificial reproductiontechniques, appropriate water treatment and the use of rotifersand Artemia nauplii of specific sizes and in the late eightiesand early nineties the quality enhancement of live food organismsusing specific enrichment techniques. Present research is focusedon the implementation of several microbial techniques to improvethe hygiene of live prey and fish. Many of the modern larviculture techniques being used in marine foodfish could be adapted for application in the ornamental fish industry. For examples, research in the Onamental Fish Section, Primary Production Department, Singapore has demonstrated that the use of freshwater rotifers and Artemia nauplii would enable artificial rearing of Discus in the absence of the parent fish and improve the larval performance of Gouramis and Tetra larvae. The use of such small live food organisms is likely to facilitate breeding of new fish species with small larvae. Research has also indicated that the use of diets containing vitamin C and certain immuno-stimulants improved the stress resistance of guppy. Such techniques would have important application in the fish transport, an important aspect in the ornamental fish industry

Dependable availability of quality fry to stock growout production systems has been one of the most critical factors in the commercial success of industrial production of fish and shellfish. Over the past two decades intensive larviculture of several fish and shellfish species has expanded into a multimillion dollar industry. Although much progress has been made in identifying the dietary requirements of the larvae of various aquaculture species, the mass culture of their early larval stages still requires the use of live feeds, i.e., selected species of microalgae, the rotifer Brachionus , and the brine shrimp Artemia . The latter two substitutes for natural zooplankton are eventually supplemented with selected lipids and vitamins so as to better meet the dietary requirements of the cultured larvae. An improved knowledge of the composition and functional role of the microflora present in the culture tank or added through the food has allowed improvement of disinfection protocols, eventually complemented with a probiotic use of selected microflora. Brachionus and Artemia can also be used as convenient carriers for oral delivery of chemotherapeutics, vaccines and hormones. Improved zootechniques have also made fish and shellfish larviculture more predictable and more cost-effective. Finally, improved broodstock management and feeding have resulted in better quality offspring. Present-day hatchery technology is very versatile and the industrial production of aquaculture seed is extending rapidly to many new species of fish and shellfish.
