“…A good enrichment media for copepods is essential way nutrients are transferred to the larval organisms and can indirectly increase their survival and development (Rasdi et al, 2021; Suhaimi et al, 2022b). The study by Mubarak et al (2017) resulted in a high RNA/DNA ratio, FCR and protein concentration in live feed culture with rice bran suspension specifically in Moina macrocopa .…”

The copepod Oithona rigida can be used as a natural feed in rearing larvae of the mud crab Syclla olivacea. However, copepod is not readily obtainable due to their characteristics as seasonal zooplankton, causing limitation in using copepods. The objective of this study was to evaluate the nutrient transfer of enriched O. rigida in improving the growth development and survival of early‐stage mud crab (Scylla olivacea). The effects of different feeding regimes on the survival and development of S. olivacea larvae were studied in two phases of the crab larval development: Phase 1 (zoea 1 to zoea 2 stage) and Phase 2 (zoea 5 to megalopa stage). The feeding regimes were T1: O. rigida enriched with rice bran, T2: O. rigida enriched with Nannochloropsis oceanica, T3: O. rigida enriched with a mixture of rice bran and N. oceanica, and T4: Artemia. The results showed that rice bran (66.83 ± 2.25% protein and 21.98 ± 1.41% lipid) and N. oceanica (72.08 ± 2.02% protein and 18.09 ± 1.18% lipid) additives produced the best outcomes in terms of protein content and lipid content of O. rigida. A mixture of rice bran and N. oceanica (41.62%) as enrichment also improved the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) content of O. rigida as compared with a mono diet applied such as rice bran (28.16%) and N. oceanica (31.35%). The average survival rate of S. olivacea from zoea 1 until megalopa shows that T3 (20.20 ± 1.97%) was higher than T1 (13.87 ± 0.90%), T2 (12.47 ± 1.14%) or T4 (3.13 ± 1.29%). In conclusion, improving the survival rate of crab larvae in commercial hatcheries by using precise early‐stage foods is fundamental to enhancing the seed production technology of mud crabs.

“…Adult Moina are twice the length of Rotifers and 500 microns longer than Artemia nauplii. Moina were suitable to use as IOP Publishing doi:10.1088/1755-1315/1147/1/012012 4 main live feed choice due to their rich nutritional composition in protein (50% of dry weight) and additional nutrients, such as HUFAs (highly unsaturated fatty acids) and an amino acid composition that is balanced [22]. In addition, as the prices of Artemia cysts becoming ever more expensive, the substitution either in partial of complete replacement to Moina would significantly lower the production costs, since, self-culture of Moina species in hatcheries or pond is considerably much cheaper when compared to other live feed types [23].…”

Zooplankton are primary consumers and serves as a crucial connection between primary producers and consumers in the aquatic food chain and higher consumers. Plankton is consumed by more than 75% of fish species at some point throughout their life. Supply of live feed cultures is critical to the expansion of aquaculture enterprises, particularly the larviculture sector, which generates fish and crustacean seeds for grow-out businesses. However, zooplankton is rarely farmed in high enough densities to be commercially viable on a large scale. This is owing to dynamic changes in physicochemical conditions in the culture system, which would normally result in a shift in the reproduction pathway from parthenogenetic to sexual, which creates resting eggs and reduces overall live feed output. The density of these live feed organisms can alter in response to environmental conditions such as eutrophication due to an excess of nutrients, acidification, pollution, salinity intrusion, and other factors that occur within the system. The water quality and food supply in the system have a big impact on zooplankton population dynamics, especially in a culture environment. The goal of this review is to have a better understanding of the many strategies for growing zooplankton utilizing various fertilization methods in order to maintain a constant population density. This review focusing on the density of zooplankton, the biological responses of live feed to fertilization, and common challenges that farmers face in the culture. In particular, we (i) examine the many zooplankton culture techniques that have been developed over time, (ii) explain the biological reactions of zooplankton to changes in culture conditions, and (iii) show the frequent issues as-sociated with live feed culture.

“…According to research, alternative live feed species such as cladocerans have superior nutritional levels, better economic values, more availability, and a higher reproduction rate than Artemia nauplii. Cladocerans such as Moina macrocopa have been employed as larval nutrition all over the world due to their rapid population growth, range of sizes from neonates to adults, and high protein content (70%) among other factors [10,11]. Thus, the cladocerans are an excellent choice for a live feed to be cultured, and it has been claimed that they can partially replace the more expensive Artemia sp.…”

The importance of live feed as a beginning diet in marine shrimp (Penaeus sp.) is largely dependent on careful management during the early stages of larval growth. The COVID-19 pandemic has a significant impact on Malaysian aquaculture, which is critical for seafood supply and security. Cladocerans are an alternative live feed species that outperform Artemia nauplii in terms of nutritional value, economic value, availability, and reproduction rate. In terms of supplying live feed for commercial aquaculture, cladoceran culture and cultivation can therefore be an economically viable, sustainable, and desirable live feed species. The purpose of this study is to collect information on low-cost live feed for marine shrimp used in aquaculture and how COVID-19 affects the sector. Thus, a survey was conducted at a private hatchery and farm in Pekan and Badong, Pahang, Malaysia to investigate the importance of low-cost live feed culture technology to the marine shrimp industry during COVID-19. A total of 20 respondents took part in the survey. During the COVID-19 period in Malaysia, data were gathered using a questionnaire that was planned to be completed via an online form from August 2020 through December 2020. The software utilised was a Google application (Google Form). The data gathered revealed the importance of utilising live feed for maintaining shrimp larvae production in the sector. The current data are critical for developing policy actions to support seafood industries affected by the pandemic at both the national and international levels.
