“…Nonetheless, reduced growth observed at 1200 lx indicates that too much brightness of the rearing system influences the behavioural changes in both larvae and prey resulting in higher encounter rates (Downing & Litvak, 1999). Also, the synergic effect between light and food availability favours larval growth, most likely due to the release of growth hormones (somatotropin), as reported in Pseudoplatystoma corruscans (Campagnolo & Nuñer, 2008). Moreover, some authors reported that environmental stress at elevated light intensities results in low feeding rates (Downing & Litvak, 1999).…”

Larval growth and survival of catfishes are largely influenced by the various biotic and abiotic factors. The present study investigated the effect of different light intensities and photoperiods on growth and survival of Ompok bimaculatus larvae. Three separate trials of 21 days each were carried out in an aquarium tank. The first trial investigated the embryonic changes (based on hatching rate and time) upon exposure to varied light intensity (0, 300, 500, 900 and 1200 lx) and photoperiodic regime (24l:0d, 16l:8d, 12l:12d, 8l:16d and 0l:24d). Subsequently, hatched‐out larvae were subjected to the aforementioned intensities (Trial II) and photoperiod (Trial III, intensity of 300 lx) for growth and survival attributes. Eight hundred healthy larvae (average body weight = 0.003 g) were randomly distributed into five treatment groups for the last two trials. Results suggest a higher embryo hatching rate and larval survival at 0 and 300 lx, whereas the largest larval growth was observed at 900 lx. In Trial III, survival was highest in 0l:24d and growth in 24l:0d and 16l:8d was higher (P < 0.05). Performance index was higher (P < 0.05) in both 0 and 300 lx light and decreased at higher intensities. The overall interpretation from the present study concludes that a completely dark rearing environment is recommended for better survival of O. bimaculatus although growth was compromised.

“…Larvae of treatments 0L:24D and 6L:18D showed less movement in the tank, which probably reduced the encounter with larvae sisters and consequently cannibalism, and conversely increased survival. This same condition was observed for golden catfish larvae (SCHÜTZ & NUÑER, 2007;CAMPAGNOLO & NUÑER, 2008). For some species of catfish with nocturnal habits, an increased photoperiod entails high drive, with energy expenditure and consequent reduction in survival (APPELBAUM & KAMLER, 2000;ALMAZÁN-RUEDA et al, 2005).…”

“…According to CAMPAGNOLO & NUÑER (2008), rearing catfish larvae (Pseudoplatystoma corruscans) in a long photoperiod resulted in lower survival rates due to the intense activity of swimming larvae with higher energy consumption in these environments. Agreeing to these results, continuous dark would be better because a fish has difficulty to capture the other, reducing cannibalism with a consequent increase in survival.…”

This research aimed to verify the influence of the photoperiod on the performance and survival piabanha-of-Pardo (Brycon vonoi) larvae. Piabanha-of-Pardo larvae 24 hours post-hatch, with body weight of 2.44 ± 0.02mg, and total length of 7.82 ± 0.46mm, were subjected to five different photoperiods: 0L:24D, 6L:18D, 12L:12D, 18L:6D and 24L:0D (871.12 ± 92.65 lux). Daily, the water temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), percentage of oxygen saturation, pH, and water conductivity were monitored, and presented similar water quality values among tanks with distinct photoperiods, and within the range considered appropriate for the genus Brycon larvae. Piabanha-of-Pardo larvae have better productive performance and survival rate at longer photoperiods, over 6 hours of light and below 12 hours of light per day. The 9L:15D photoperiod, specified by the derived equation, is indicated for the piabanha larviculture, but researches with the species and the photoperiod need to be better studied.

“…Mean±standard deviation of survival, uniformity, growth, and body composition parameters of Hoplias intermedius juveniles maintained in photoperiod treatments during 90 days (1) . fish showed the best survival rates (Campagnolo & Nuñer, 2008). Therefore, differences for survival of different species can be attributed to variations in the photoperiod requirement, which is species specific and depends on the development stage of the animal.…”

“…Dark conditions provided the chance of cannibalism and agonistic interactions (Schütz et al, 2008). Nevertheless, in Pseudoplatystoma corruscans larvae, the cannibalism was lower with decreasing photoperiod (Campagnolo & Nuñer, 2008), showing that there are different responses to photoperiod for each species of fish.…”

The objective of this work was to determine the effect of photoperiod on the cannibalism, growth, and body composition of giant trahira (Hoplias intermedius) juveniles. A completely randomized design was employed, with four photoperiods - 0L:24D, 6L:18D, 12L:12D, and 18L:6D, hours of light (L): dark (D) - and four replicates, for a period of 90 days. The analyzed parameters were: cannibalism, growth in weight and length, food consumption, feed conversion, protein efficiency rate, muscle growth, and body composition (moisture, lipid, ash, and crude protein). Fish from the 12L:12D photoperiod showed the highest survival rate and no cannibalism, as well as a great uniformity for length and mass values at the end of the experiment. The best photoperiod for giant trahira juveniles is 12L:12D, as these fish showed growth uniformity and no cannibalism, while fish from the 6L:18D and 18L:6D groups had a greater diameter of white muscle fibers and a higher frequency of greater diameter fibers. Giant trahira showed the lowest value for lipids at 6L:18D and the highest value at 12L:12D. Photoperiod affects survival and cannibalism; regarding body composition, only lipids are influenced by photoperiod.

Survival and growth of Pseudoplatystoma corruscans (Pisces - Pimelodidae) larvae: effect of photoperiod

Abstract: The survival and the growth of Pseudoplatystoma corruscans larvae exposed to four photoperiods: light:dark (LD) 0:24, LD 10:14, LD 14:10, and LD 24:0, in a brackish water (5‰) culture were analyzed. Larvae were fed with Artemia sp. nauplii at a 500 nauplii/larvae/day ratio.
