“…Green water system using Nannochloropsis oculata was used for larval rearing. Feeding strategy using rotifer, Artemia nauplii and artificial feed was used according to earlier reports (Yousif Omer et al, 2009; Anil et al., 2018) with required modifications meeting the requirements of present silver moony larval rearing conditions and growth. In the present study, systematic and overlapping feed regime of rotifer to Artemia nauplii to artificial feed was used to avoid any sudden change in diet, which could lead to water quality deterioration, reduced growth and mortality.…”

Silver moony, Monodactylus argenteus (Linnaeus, 1758), belonging to the family Monodactylidae, has high significance in the ornamental fish industry. The present study provides the details of captive broodstock maturation, induced breeding and larval rearing of this species for the first time. Juveniles were collected from wild and raised to adults in net cages. Female with oocyte diameter =500 µm and oozing males were selected in the sex ratio of 1:2 (female: male) and induced to spawn using a single dose of LHRHa. Spontaneous spawning and fertilization were observed after 36 to 40 hr of hormonal induction. The average fertilization and hatching rates were 83.50 ± 4.37% and 70.83 ± 5.19% respectively. The incubation period was observed to be 18 to 20 hr at a temperature of 29 ± 1.8°C. Newly hatched larvae measured 1,630 ± 0.20 µm in length. Larval rearing was carried out in 500-L circular fibre reinforced plastic tanks using a green water system. Larvae were stocked at 5 L −1 in larval rearing tanks. Initial mouth opening and complete yolk absorption were observed at 48 and 96 hr post-hatching respectively. Larval feeding was done using live feeds, rotifer and Artemia nauplii. Metamorphosis began on 23 dph, and 100% larvae became juvenile on 32 dph with an average survival rate of 49.6 ± 8.73%. These findings on the development of captive seed production of silver moony would pave the way for mass scale production and reduced exploitation of wild stocks.

“…The importance of using a small prey organism at first feeding of Pacific Red Snapper was confirmed by the significantly higher (P = 0.001) survival observed when P. crassirostris nauplii were offered at first feeding compared to P. euryhalinus or P. similis. The use of P. crassirostris at first feeding has also promoted higher survival in the Orange-spotted Grouper E. coioides (Ranjan et al 2022) and in some ornamental fish, such as the Yellow Tang (Burgess and Callan 2018) and Marcia's Anthias Pseudanthias marcia (Anil et al 2018). An advantage of copepods over rotifers is their higher levels of highly polyunsaturated fatty acids, particularly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; van der Meeren et al 2008).…”

“…However, the use of copepods in commercial hatcheries is still limited, largely due to problems of establishing and maintaining highdensity copepod cultures under intensive rearing conditions as well as the longer generation times of copepods compared to other live prey types, such as rotifers (Ajiboye et al 2011;Alajmi and Zeng 2014). An interesting alternative is to culture copepods directly in larval fish rearing tanks, providing a constant supply of recently hatched nauplii to the larvae (Anil et al 2018). Although rotifers are easy to produce at high densities, the species commonly used (e.g., Brachionus spp.)…”

Effects of Prey Size, Microalgal Density, and Light Intensity on Survival of Pacific Red Snapper Larvae

Development of Pacific Red Snapper Lutjanus peru culture has been impeded by low survival in larval culture. We studied the effects of different culture conditions on larval survival in four experiments that examined (1) different‐size prey at first feeding (nauplii of the copepods Parvocalanus crassirostris and Pseudodiaptomus euryhalinus; rotifers Proales similis; and a mix of these three prey types); (2) microalgal density (3 × 105 and 1 × 106 cells/mL); (3) the presence of adult copepods P. crassirostris in larval culture tanks compared to daily nauplius addition (Adult and Nauplius treatments); and (4) light intensity (50, 200, 500, and 1,000 lx). In experiment 1, a strong preference was observed for copepod P. crassirostris nauplii compared to other prey types. Survival at 15 d posthatch (DPH) was significantly higher in the P. crassirostris treatment (mean ± SD = 19.5 ± 10.2%) and the Mixed diet treatment (33.4 ± 9.4%). However, strange behavior of larvae was observed, followed by drastic mortality (at 15–18 DPH) when microalgal addition to larval tanks ceased. This behavior and mortality had not been observed in experiment 2 at any of the microalgal densities supplied until 20 DPH. In experiment 3, survival was evaluated at 2, 5, 7, and 9 DPH and dropped to 50% (5 DPH) in both treatments. At 9 DPH, survival was 14.8 ± 9.5% for the Adult treatment and 3.4 ± 0.9% for the Nauplius treatment. In experiment 4, a significant difference was observed for survival at 9 DPH; survival at 1,000 lx (26.5 ± 18.4%) was significantly higher than survival at 200 lx (4.9 ± 5%) and 50 lx (0.6 ± 0.6%) but was not different from survival at 500 lx (6.6 ± 3.1%). In conclusion, P. crassirostris nauplii are an adequate prey for first feeding of Pacific Red Snapper. Therefore, to improve larval survival, P. crassirostris adults should be added to the larval culture tanks. Moreover, microalgae should be present during all larval rearing, and a light intensity of 1,000 lx should be used.

“…Broodstocks of P. marcia and P. squamipinnis were developed in a 2-t recirculation aquaculture system (RAS) using wild-caught juveniles (Figure 6). In captivity after a period of 6-7 months of rearing, fishes started showing courtship behaviour (Anil et al, 2018). Although two males were present in the broodstock tank of P. marcia during spawning, only one active male with a bright colour exhibited darting movement around the group of females, chasing and defending its territory aggressively, without permitting the other male to enter its territory.…”

“…Fishes of the genus Pseudanthias are pelagic spawners, and these fishes do not exhibit any parental care after the spawning. The frequency of spawning varies with species, and in P. marcia, the fishes spawned on an average 25 days/month except for 5 days around the new moon (Anil et al, 2018).…”

The marine ornamental fish trading industry is an ever-expanding one, as indicated by its bolstering statistics, which amount to about US$ 300 million. Although the trade is booming, the natural habitats that foster these fishes, such as coral reefs, are steadily declining. One of the reasons for this is the overdependency of the industry on wild-caught fishes. To surpass this, the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) has developed hatchery technology for breeding marine ornamental fishes such as seahorses, clownfishes, damsels, and serranids. It began with the breeding of Hippocampus kuda. This progressed to breeding clownfishes such as Amphiprion chrysogaster, A. ocellaris, A. nigripes, A. peridarion, and A. ephippium and Premnas biaculeatus. Damsel fishes that were bred successfully include Chrysiptera cyanea, C. hemicyanea Neopomacentrus cyanomos, N. nemurus, and Dascyllus carneus. The recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) designed in the Vizhinjam Regional Centre of CMFRI is being used for broodstock development of serranids, tangs, squirrel fishes, and soldier fishes. A standard method was developed for captive breeding and hatchery rearing of anthias Pseudanthias marcia and P. squamipinnis in an advanced indigenous RAS system. The present article provides a bird’s eye view of the important research work done in India concerning marine ornamental fish breeding and reviews important breeding work carried out at Vizhinjam Regional Centre of CMFRI.
