Impact of Aeration on the Growth Performance of Silver Barb, Puntius gonionotus, during Fingerling Rearing

Abstract: Impact of aeration on growth of silver barb, Puntius gonionotus during fingerling rearing was studied through a 100‐d rearing experiment conducted in 18 concrete tanks of 50 m2 (10 × 5 × 1.2 m) size. Fry (0.74 ± 0.27 g, 35 ± 6 mm) were stocked in the experimental tanks at three stocking densities (25, 50, and 75 fry/m2) and were evaluated with and without provision of 6 h (2400–0600 h) of night time aeration. Aeration resulted in higher pH and dissolved oxygen regime and increased fingerling length and weight.… Show more

“…The concentrations of TAN and NH 3 were higher in the tanks with the highest stocking densities (12 and 16 fish per tank; p < 0.05). Das et al (2012) also observed an increase in TAN concentrations along with the stocking densities in Puntius gonionotus tanks. Table 1.…”

“…According to Stigebrandt (2011), the use of stocking densities higher than the environmental carrying capacity negatively affects the growth rate of the farmed animals and water quality. Das, Jena, Mishra, and Pati (2012), Pawar, Jena, Das, and Bhatnagar (2009) and Pawar, Jena, and Das (2014) showed that the use of overnight water aeration significantly improved the growth and survival of the farmed animals in high density tanks. In addition to the use of nocturnal aeration of water, which is already a consolidated management among farmers, new strategies should be sought to control water quality and obtain better productive results in intensive aquaculture systems.…”

However, it was interesting to note that despite presence of greater number, the SGR, length and weight attainment of seed in T‐2 were similar to those in T‐1 ( P > 0.05) (Table ).…”

“…Critical DO stages are speciesspecific; nevertheless, for most ornamental fish species, DO levels at or near saturation (7.8 mg/l at 28°C) are advised (Lawrence, 2007). Several researchers concluded that dissolved oxygen concentrations have been linked to decreased hatching and growth rates, lower feed consumption and even mass mortality events in extreme cases (Buentello et al, 2000;Das et al, 2012).…”
