Comparison of three live foods and two dry diets for intensive culture of grass carp and bighead carp larvae

Derleme / Review: The status of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella, Valenciennes 1844) in Turkey

“…In the study, the amount of stripped eggs, the volume of stripped sperm, the fertilization rate, and the hatching rate were determined. These were similiar to the results of reproduction studies of grass carp in other countries (9,24,28,29).…”

“…In common carp larvae, Cyprinus carpio the SR of less than 20% obtained when fish were fed with diet containing 75 % formulated feed (Bambroo, 2012). The lower SR (63.3% and 56.0%) was obtained in grass carp, Ctenopharyngodon idella and bighead carp, Hypophthalmichthys nobilis larvae respectively when were fed with formulated diet compared to those fed with live food (Rottmann, WShireman, & Lincoln, 1991). The higher values of obtained SR in this study (87.5±2.4 %) than in above studies may be due to the higher quality of formulated diet used in the present study or more capabilities of shirbot in digestion and assimilation…”

Rearing of Burbot, Lota lota (Pisces, Teleostei), Larvae with Zooplankton and Formulated Microdiets

“…The smallest zooplankton fraction of 200 -400 µm, which was used as starter food for Lota lota larvae, contained mainly copepodites and nauplii while smaller organisms as rotifers and algae passed the 200 µm net. Generally, rotifers are considered as optimal for on-feeding of small fish larvae (Lota lota: Shiri Harzevili et al, 2003; Ctenopharygodon idella, Aristichthys nobilis: Rottmann et al, 1991;Gobio gobio, Perca fluviatilis: Awaiss, Kestemont, & Micha, 1992; different ornamental fish: Lim & Wong, 1997;Lim, Dhert, & Sorgeloos, 2003).…”

“…Larvae are also reared in net cages which are placed in plankton containing water systems (Žiliukienė, 2005;Žiliukienė & Ziliukas, 2006;Paragamian, Laude, Cain, Barron, & Jensen, 2011). Formulated microdiets were tested with variable success as starter food for larvae of white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) (Gawlicka, McLaughlin, Hung, & de la Noüe, 1996), grass carp (Ctenopharygodon idella) and bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis) (Rottmann, Shireman, & Lincoln, 1991), zebrafish (Danio rerio) (Carvalho, Araújo, & Santos, 2006), pike-perch (Sander lucioperca) (Ostaszewska, Dabrowski, Czuminska, Olech, & Olejniczak, 2005), and loach (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus) (Wang, Hu, Cao, Yang, & Wang, 2008). Combination of live food and formulated, commercially available diets were successfully used for feeding the larvae of goldfish (Kaiser, Endemann, & Paulet, 2003), chub (Leuciscus cephalus), ide (Leuciscus idus), orfe (Leuciscus idus) and dace (Leuciscus leuciscus) (Kwiatkowski et al, 2008) and of vimba bream (Vimba vimba) (Hamáčková et al, 2009).…”
