“…Kujawa et al (2000) found low survival and growth rates of chub larvae fed on artificial diets, and suggested that the transfer of chub larvae from live food to artificial diet should start after 12 days of exogenous feeding. In most cyprinid larvae fed exclusively on artificial diets, high mortality and poor growth occurred in most cases (Dabrowski and Poczycznski, 1988; Wolnicki and Górny, 1995; Wolnicki and Myszkowski, 1999).…”

Summary Little is known about the larviculture of the chub, Leuciscus cephalus (L.), an endangered cyprinid species endemic to European flowing waters. The use of decapsulated Artemia cysts as food for chub larviculture was investigated. After 3‐day feeding with the rotifer Brachionus calyciflorus, the larvae were fed on different diets: (i) dried decapsulated Artemia cysts, (ii) Artemia nauplii, (iii) rotifers for seven more days and then Daphnia collected from a pond, and (iv) an artificial diet. After a 24‐day rearing period, the highest survival rate was obtained with the larvae receiving decapsulated Artemia cysts. Feeding of the larvae with an artificial diet resulted in a significantly lower survival rate compared with the other groups. At the end of the experiment, the larvae fed on Artemia nauplii yielded a significantly higher mean length compared with the other groups. Feeding an artificial diet resulted in a significantly lower average weight and mean length gain compared with the other groups.

“…Common carp larvae fed exclusively with artificial food based on yeast cultivated on petroleum by-products and on beef liver grew to an average weight of over 100 mg in 21 days; survival was 87% (Charlon et al 1986). However, Dabrowski and Poczyczynski (1988) stated that the growth rate of common carp larvae fed on live food was still much better. For example, Vanhaecke and Sorgeloos (1983) using Artemia grew common carp larvae to 188 mg in 14 days.…”

This paper reviews state-of-the-art techniques for culture of larval common carp, Cyprinus carpio, silver carp, Hypophfhalmichfhys molitrix, bighead carp, H. nobilis, and grass carp, Crenopharyngodon idella. Water temperature, food, and predation are important factors influencing larval survival and growth. Lower and upper lethal temperatures range from 3 to 44OC. Optimum growth temperatures range from 38 to 40°C. Lethal and optimum temperatures vary with acclimation temperature, fish age, and development stage of fish. Water temperatures are close to optimum for larval culture in tropical regions but are often too low in temperate climates. Intensive culture in temperature-controlled systems is important in temperate climates. The first food eaten by larvae in ponds consists mainly of protozoa, rotifers, and copepod nauplii. As fhe larvae grow, they quickly shift to larger food items, including cladocera and insect larvae. Management practices to enhance natural food development in earthen ponds include bottom drying, soil preparation, liming, fertilization, and agricultural crop cultivation. The development of food organisms in freshly filled ponds follows a pattern of succession. For best results, a pond should be stocked at the stage of succession when the size relationship bew w o n h co-indexing miry no(c]: "Shalcgics md lkh for Larval Culhrn of Comme~cially Impahot Carp."

No efficiency of the lateral system on nocturnal feeding in the European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax L.)

In order to evaluate the effect and consequence of lateral system inactivation on fish nocturnal feeding, the differential growth of groups of European sea bass maintained in different rearing conditions were compared. Whereas some fish with intact lateral system (placebo fish) were placed under a photoperiod of 12-L : 12-D, other placebo fish were kept in the dark. In the same way, fish deprived of lateral system by section of their lateral system nerves and antibiotic treatment were placed under a photoperiod of 12-L : 12-D and the others in the dark. For each of these four rearing conditions, two sets of experiment were realized. Percent mortality, feed rhythm, averaged daily feed demand, specific growth rate and feed efficiency were compared among these four groups of fish. After four months of experiment, results revealed that, under a photoperiod of 12-L : 12-D, fish showed a diurnal feed rhythm whereas no rhythm appeared in fish kept in the dark. In addition, as reported by other authors, the average daily feed demand, the quantity of ingested food and specific growth rate were greater in fish maintained under a photoperiod of 12-L : 12-D than those kept in the dark. The fish lateral system inactivation did not affect mortality, feed intake, specific growth rate or feed efficiency. These results demonstrated that lateral system is not the major sensory organ leading to European sea bass nocturnal feeding; chemoreception system undoubtedly taking over. If the olfactory system explains equal feed intake between placebo and treated fish, the greater specific growth rate in treated than in placebo fish indicates the action of another mechanism, such as a bbooster effectQ of antibiotics used for lateral system inactivation on fish.
