The first-feeding response of larval southern bluefin tuna,Thunnus maccoyii(Castelnau, 1872), and yellowtail kingfish,Seriola lalandi(Valenciennes, 1833), to prey density, prey size and larval density

Abstract: We investigated the first‐feeding success of two species: southern bluefin tuna (Thunnus maccoyii) and yellowtail kingfish (Seriola lalandi) to determine if similar culture parameters can be used for both, especially when S. lalandi are held in the same tanks as prey for T. maccoyii. The feeding performance (proportion and intensity) was examined in three short‐duration (4 h) experiments: prey density, prey size and larval density. Increasing prey density from 0.5 to 25 rotifers mL−1 increased the proportion o… Show more

“…The experiments were conducted in an experimental system comprising 24 individual 3 L black aquaria, as described in Hilder et al . () where optimum experimental conditions including larval density, prey density and prey size were determined. Briefly, the standard conditions, unless otherwise stated were: the aquaria were static with no water or air flow; light was provided by a single fluorescent tube (NEC tri‐phosphor 18 W, FL20SSBR/18‐HG, T8) with a light intensity of 30 ± 2 μmol s −1 m −2 ; larval density was 30 larvae per aquaria (for 3 and 4 dph experiments) and 20 larvae per aquaria (for 6 and 9 dph experiments).…”
