Abstract:Abstract:The present study was carried out to evaluate the effect of decapsulated Artemia cysts as direct food for Macrobrachium rosenbergii larvae on the growth and survival rate. Macrobrachium rosenbergii larvae (48 hour after hatching) weighted about 0.03 mg were reared (50 larvae/L) in cylindro-conical rearing fiberglass tanks (10 L) under controlled conditions. The larvae were fed on Commercial diet 46% crude protein (T 1 ), DE capsulated Artemia cysts (T 2 ), Artemia naupli (T 3 ) and DE capsulated cysts… Show more
