Effects of Fatty Acid and Vitamin C Enrichment in Rotifer and Artemia on Survival, Growth and Development of the Mandarinfish Larvae, Synchiropus splendidus (Herre,1927)
Abstract
The objective of the present study was to examine the affect of fatty acid and vitamin C enrichment in rotifers (Brachionus plicatilis) and Artemia sp. on their survival, growth and larval development time. The experiments were set on vitamin C concentration of 0, 100, 200 and 300 mg/l. The experimental design was 4×3 completely randomized design. The 20 larvae/l were reared in 5 l of 33 - 34 ppt. seawater for a period of 45 days. All treatments, the fish aged between 1 - 20 days old were fed with rotifers at a ratio of 20 individuals/ml and then they were switched to Artemia sp. at a ratio of 3 individuals/ml from day 21 onwards. There were no significant differences (p > 0.05) between the treatments in their survival rate, growth and larval development time and the fish fed the enriched-live feeds at a ratio of 0 mg/l showed the best survival rate (8.00±3.60%). The highest standard and total lengths of the larvae were found in those fed the 200 mg/l (1.00±1.00, 1.16±3.09 centimeter). The larvae fed at 300 mg/l also had the highest average weight (0.053±0.02 gram). All the larvae completed their metamorphosis within 20 days, with the first larvae recorded as completing their metamorphosis on day 11. Mandarinfish larval rearing should feeding with vitamin C enriched live foods 200 and 300 mg/l for the growth of the larvae. Keywords : Mandarinfish, vitamin C, rotifer, ArtemiaReferences
