“…Papoutsoglou, Mylonakis, Miliou, Karakatsouli, and Chadio (2000) reported that fish reared in black tanks had significantly higher plasma cortisol levels than those reared in white tanks, and specific growth rate and final weight was significantly higher and feed conversion ratio significantly lower in white tanks. This was also observed by Eslamloo, Akhavan, Eslamifar, and Henry (2015), Rahnama, Heydarnejad, and Parto (2015), Wang et al (2016), and Wang et al (2017). On the contrary, Downing and Litvak (2000) and MartinRobichaud and Peterson (1998) found larvae reared in dark coloured tanks to show lower stress levels, higher food intake, and less body damage.…”

A 33-day experiment was carried out to investigate the effect of light at 80, 380, and 3800 lux and tank wall colour (black, grey, white, red, green, blue, clear) separately and in combination on growth, survival, yield, and size heterogeneity of peled Coregonus peled larvae. 7 groups of larvae in 3 repetitions were transferred to the experimental system. Each group comprised 300 larvae. Larvae were fed fresh live brine shrimp Artemia salina and artificial dry food LARVIVA ProWean. Significantly higher (p<0.05) survival was observed in black and white tanks in comparison with grey tanks. Significantly lower (p<0.05) size heterogeneity was observed in red and grey tanks compared to clear, black, green, and blue tanks, and in RD-H compared to

“…It was assumed that the sensitivity of the fish's retina could be adjusted to the wavelength range of the environment they inhabit (Avery & Bowmaker, 1982;Partridge & Cummings, 1999;Taylor, North, Porter, Bromage, & Migaud, 2006). It has been reported that juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) prefers green light (Luchiari & Pirhonen, 2008); sailfish (Histiophorus orientalis) are sensitive to blue-green and purple-blue light (Fritsches, Partridge, Pettigrew, & Marshall, 2000); whereas taimen (Hucho taimen) prefers yellow light conditions (Wang et al, 2016). The phototaxis of fish living at different water levels varies.…”

In the present study, colour selection and phototaxis experiments were performed on wild subadult Schizothorax oconnori Lloyd. The experimental variables included: five light colours: red, yellow, green, blue, and dark (no light conditions-control), and two flow rates of 0 and 0.3 m/s. Colour selection experiments were conducted to study the preference of S. oconnori to different colours of light in still water and at 10 lx of light intensity. The results showed that the distribution time of S. oconnori in the yellow and green light areas were significantly longer than those in the red and blue light areas (p < .05), and the order of preference for the five colours was: green-> yellow > black > blue > red. In the phototaxis experiment, the phototactic behaviour of S. oconnori was studied when the light intensity was at 20 lx and the water velocity was at 0 and 0.3 m/s, respectively. The results showed that in both still and dynamic water conditions, S. oconnori displayed positive phototaxis for yellow and green light, and negative phototaxis for red and blue light. S. oconnori displayed weak phototaxis with a light intensity threshold of 0.65 lx-0.80 lx and 1.50 lx-3.05 lx for yellow and green light, respectively. The results suggest that low-intensity green light could be used for light trapping of S. oconnori. The research may be helpful in the management of fish passage facilities and fisheries.

“…Tank colour affects survival and growth performance (Bera et al, 2019; Ferosekhan et al, 2020; Pedreira & Sipaúba‐Tavares, 2001; Sebesta et al, 2019; Tamazouzt et al, 2000). It also affects physiological processes and behavioural responses, such as feeding (Bera et al, 2019; El‐Sayed & El‐Ghobashy, 2011; Wang et al, 2016), digestion (Rungruangsak‐Torrissen et al, 2006; Santisathitkul et al, 2020), body composition (Banan et al, 2011; Papoutsoglou et al, 2000), reproduction (Volpato et al, 2004), skin pigmentation (Eslamloo et al, 2015; Yasir & Qin, 2009) and stress response of fish larvae and juveniles (Banan et al, 2013; de Abreu et al, 2020; Sopinka et al, 2016; Wang et al, 2016).…”

Effect of tank colour on growth, survival, stress level, digestive enzymatic activities and body composition of snubnose pompano ( Trachinotus blochii Lacépède) larvae

Snubnose pompano (Trachinotus blochii, Lacépède) is a commercially important fish species that shows robust growth in captive environment. Tank colour is an important factor affecting the growth of fish larvae in aquaculture. Although the effect of tank colour has been studied in several fish species, it has not been studied in the snubnose pompano. We aimed to investigate how tank colour affects overall growth, survival, body composition, stress levels and digestive enzyme activities of snubnose pompano larvae at early larval stage and late larval stage. We noted that early–larval–stage larvae showed higher growth, crude protein contents and lower digestive enzyme activities when reared in blue and white tanks. Larvae showed low‐stress levels when reared in grey and blue tanks. The same larvae showed low‐survival and high‐stress levels when reared in red tanks. The late–larval–stage larvae showed high growth and lipids, and low‐digestive enzymes activities in white and yellow tanks. The larvae showed high‐stress levels and low‐ash contents when reared in red tanks. These differences are most likely due to the differences in light intensity inside tanks, which affects the ability of larvae to find and catch prey. Overall, our study sheds new light on cultivation conditions for snubnose pompano larvae. We recommend blue tanks for growing early–larval–stage larvae and white or yellow tanks for late‐larval‐stage larvae.
