“…Planktonic copepods are natural and preferable feeds for fish and invertebrate larvae in marine environment and are widely used as live feed in marine larviculture hatcheries (Drillet et al, 2011;Santhanam et al, 2019;Fernández-Ojeda et al, 2021;Pan et al, 2022), especially some species of paracalanid family, such as Parvocalanus carssirostris (Alajmi & Zeng, 2015;Kline & Laidley, 2015;Valencia et al, 2022), Bestiolina similis (McKinnon et al, 2003;Camus et al, 2009;VanderLugt et al, 2009;Camus & Zeng, 2010;Camus et al, 2021), and Bestiolina amoyensis (Wang et al, 2021). Small body size and the herbivorous characteristics make them good candidates as larvae prey for fish larvae with small mouth gape (Wang et al, 2021).…”

Bestiolina amoyensis distributes in subtropical inshore waters across the Pacific Ocean, with a relatively long reproductive lifespan and high intrinsic population increase rate compared with other small paracalanid species, which makes it a good candidate to develop culture techniques for hatchery larval rearing. However, the reproductive biology of this subtropical broadcast spawning species is still largely unknown. The present investigation provides the first published data on the embryo development and effects of different light intensities (0, 500, and 1,000 lx), temperatures (16°C, 18°C, 20°C, 22°C, 24°C, 26°C, 28°C, 30°C, 32°C, and 34°C), and salinities (22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, and 34 psu) on hatching success rates of B. amoyensis. The same batch of eggs were collected from gravid females to observe their embryonic development and incubated under designed light intensities, temperatures, and salinities. Results showed that the whole embryonic development of B. amoyensis lasted, on average, 6 h and 40 min at 26°C, and egg hatching time of B. amoyensis shortened exponentially with the increasing temperature. The highest egg hatching rate (100%) was recorded from the 0-lx treatment, indicating that the dark condition was favorable for the egg incubation of B. amoyensis. The optimum temperature and salinity range for the hatching success of B. amoyensis was 22°C–30°C (above 94%) and 22–34 psu salinity (above 88%), respectively, indicating that B. amoyensis had wide adaptability to temperature and salinity. Light and too low or high temperature leads to abnormal embryonic development and malformed nauplii. The relatively wide adaptability to temperature and salinity and fast embryo development also suggests that B. amoyensis was a good candidate as live feed for hatchery larval rearing.

Recent Trends in Live Feeds for Marine Larviculture: A Mini Review

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In marine larviculture, farmed larvae mainly rely on the alimentation of a group of small-sized phytoplankton and zooplankton referred to as live feed. Under the diversifying demands of human consumption and ornamental aquarium industry, new species of live feed and their innovative production methods are essential focuses for sustainable larviculture of many emerging fish and invertebrate species. The selection of proper live feed for larval feeding is based on several parameters, such as size, morphology, nutritional value, stock density, and growth rate. This review aims to highlight the biological characteristics, production approach, common larviculture applications as well as recent innovations in the aquaculture technology of live feed organisms (microalgae, ciliated protists, rotifer, Artemia, copepod, and others).
