This review examines the nutritional factors that influence the growth and survival of larval bivalves. Factors considered include feed form (live phytoplankton, preserved phytoplankton and artificial feeds) and feed biochemical composition (protein, lipid, carbohydrate and essential fatty acids). These factors, as they relate to larval production, are discussed in terms of growth and survival rates. To facilitate comparisons among larval studies, growth rates and feeding rates are standardized to common units. In addition, the standardized results for larvae of the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas Thunberg) are analysed using linear regression techniques to determine the strength of the correlations between daily doses of biochemical feed components and daily growth rates. Piecewise linear spline modelling is used to determine maximum effective dose response, the point where feeding additional biochemical components to the larvae yields no significant improvements in growth. Derived from these analyses are suggested daily rations of lipid, protein, carbohydrate, eicosapentanoic acid, docosahexanoic acid and energy for larvae of C. gigas.

“…2008). The capability for synthesis of EFAs in bivalves is very limited and inadequate to meet their nutritional requirements; therefore, they must be supplied exogenously (Waldock & Holland 1984; Laing et al. 1990; Chu & Greaves 1991).…”

“…The most important experiments in this field are those of Hidu and Ukeles (1964) with the larvae of Mercenaria mercenaria, and Masson (1977) and Cordero Esquivel and Voltolina (1996) with the larvae and juveniles of Mytilus galloprovincialis. Other authors have used heterotrophically cultured microalgae, especially the species T. suecica, as for example Laing et al (1990) with the larvae of Tapes philippinarum and Laing and Millican (1991); Laing and Gil Verdugo (1991); Laing and Millican (1992) and Curatolo et al (1993) with seed of the same species. All these experiments showed the need to add a certain proportion of fresh microalgae to the inert diets in order to achieve comparable growth rates to those of fresh diets.…”

Evaluation of freeze-dried microalgal diets for the seed culture of Ruditapes decussatus using physiological and biochemical parameters

et al. 1997

This study evaluates the nutritional value of several species of freeze-dried microalgae used to feed the seed of Ruditapes decussatus. These microalgae were: Isochrysis galbana, clone T-ISO; Tetraselmis suecica; and Phaeodactylum tricornutum. The addition of antibiotics, kaolin and fresh microalgae to the freeze-dried diet was also evaluated, and a study was made of the nutritional value of one species of microalga in each of the four stages of preparation of the freeze-dried diet: culture; concentration; freezing and freeze-drying. Both physiological and biochemical criteria were used to evaluate the different diets: availability; acceptability; digestibility; and biochemical composition.The highest seed growth rate were achieved with a diet of Isochrysis, followed by Tetraselmis, whilst the growth rates achieved with a dried diet of Phaeodactylum were much lower. The differences observed between diets of Isochrysis and Tetraselmis were due to a greater ingestion of the cells of Isochrysis. The minimal nutritional value of Phaeodactylum appears to be related to the low digestibility of its cell wall. The growth rates of seed fed on a diet of dried microalgae were significantly lower than those achieved with fresh diets (Albentosa et al., 1996b) for each of the species of microalgae that were tested, and this appears to be related to the lower digestibility of the microalgae after they have been freeze-dried. The addition of antibiotic or kaolin to the freeze-dried diet did not result in a major increase of seed growth rates. The substitution of a small proportion of freeze-dried microalgae with fresh microalgae produced a significant increase in seed growth rates, although these were still lower than those obtained with a completely fresh diet. The loss of nutritional value of microalgae when they are freeze-dried may be due to some kind of process which occurs during freezedrying, altering the digestibility of the microalgae.

“…When fed as complete or partial live-alga substitutes, the dried forms of these species induced growth that was improved or comparable to full live-alga diets -however, tested live diets were not explicit positive controls -in the culture of juvenile Tapes philippinarum (Laing et al, 1990;Laing and Millican, 1992;Laing and Verdugo, 1991), juvenile C. gigas (Laing and Verdugo, 1991), and larval…”
