The performance of Panagrellus redivivus on growth and survival of
Mystus nemurus larvae was assessed in this study. Prior to the assessment
study, the optimal stocking condition for M. nemurus larvae was determined.
A stocking density of 10 larvae L-1 gave the highest growth and survival
during the 16-days rearing period. However a stocking range of 25-43 larvae
L-1 was recommended for commercial hatchery production. The performance
of P. redivivus was compared with Brachionus spp., Moina spp., Chironomus
spp. and Artemia sp. Larvae fed with Chironomus spp. exhibited the best
growth (P<0.05) compared to those fed with P. redivivus, Brachionus spp.,
Moina spp. and Artemia sp. No significant differences in growth were found
among those fed with the later live foods. Nevertheless, these live foods gave a significantly higher survival than Chironomus spp. In the following study,
M. nemurus larvae fed smaller P. redivivus on the first week followed by
bigger Chironomus spp. showed improved survival and growth than those fed
on Chironomus spp. or P. redivivus alone. This combination also gave better
results than those of Artemia nauplii.
Another study was conducted to determine the optimal feeding density of P.
redivivus for M. nemurus larvae. The results of two feeding trials showed that
the optimum feeding density on the first week and second week of feeding
were 60 nematodes mL-1 and 125 nematodes mL-1, respectively. This
feeding regime was adopted in the following experiment.
Finally, P. redivivus was evaluated as the first food for the weaning of M.
nemurus larvae to an artificial diet. The results showed no significant effect
(P>0.05) of gradual weaning from Day 4 and d irect weaning at Day 8 of
exogenous feeding with P. redivivus as the first food on the survival and
growth of catfish larvae. P. redivivus was found to be suitable as an Artemia
replacement (as the first food) for the weaning of M. nemurus larvae. |
