“…Moreover, Tubifex is rich in protein and essential fatty acids such as n-3 (C18: 3n-3 and C20: 5n-3) and n-6 (C18:2n-6 and C20:4n-6) fatty acids (Görelşahin et al, 2018;Yanar et al, 2003). It has already been established to increase the growth performance of different fish species such as Chitala chitala (Sarkar et al, 2007), Clarius macrocephalus (Santiago et al, 2003), Notopterus chitala (Sontakke et al, 2019), and Sander lucioperca (Bódis et al, 2007). Furthermore, several studies reported Tubifex as an alternative to Artemia for different fish species such as catfish (Arslan et al, 2009;Evangelista et al, 2005).…”

An experiment was conducted to investigate suitable feed for Carassius auratus juveniles. 30-day-old juveniles (3.31±0.14 cm and 0.84±0.3 g) were reared in glass aquaria (50×30×30 cm3) at stocking density of 10 juveniles/aquaria in triplicates. The juveniles were fed four different feeds, Tubifex, egg custard, commercial feed, and aquarium feed, twice daily until satiation. After 28 days of trial, fish fed custard and Tubifex had significantly higher survival rates (91% and 88%) than those fed aquarium feed (81%, P < 0.05) and commercial fish feed (75%, P < 0.05). The final length, weight, absolute growth rate and metabolic growth rate were significantly varied among the treatments (P < 0.05). However, no significant differences were evident in weight gain and SGR (P > 0.05). The fish fed custard and Tubifex were comparable in terms of growth performance (P > 0.05) while a significantly lower growth rate was found in fish fed commercial feed (P < 0.05). Fish fed Tubifex and custard had significantly higher protein content (15.28% and 14.86%, respectively) than those fed commercial fish feed (13.41%) and aquarium feed (12.21%). The overall findings suggest that the formulated egg custard can promote growth and survival in goldfish.

“…Larvae of many aquatic species either have complete dependence on zooplankton live food as a basal diet, or they have significantly better performance when started on live food [ 1 ]. Live food is commonly regarded as “living capsules of nutrition”, rich in proteins, vitamins, carbohydrates, minerals, amino acids, and fatty acids [ 2 ].…”

“…However, the sole application of a formulated diet may seem like a far-fetched idea due to low its digestibility and the deterioration of water quality [ 6 , 7 ]. Even though the use of live food in larval rearing has been reported to improve larval growth performance, survival, and disease resistance [ 1 , 10 , 11 ], the cultivation and management of live food for aquatic production is costly and unpredictable [ 12 ]. Multiple studies have demonstrated the success of total live food replacement or reduction in aquaculture [ 9 , 13 ].…”

At the present time, no artificial larval diet is capable of entirely fulfilling the dietary requirements of several larval fish and crustacean species. Zooplankton live food is the basic foundation of fish larviculture, and successful rearing of fish larvae still heavily depends on an adequate supply of nutritious live food. Despite being important, the production protocols of copepods and cladocerans (Moina) are still underdeveloped in hatcheries. Rotifers and Artemia are the most commonly used live foods. However, these live foods are evidently lacking in crucial nutrient constituents. Hence, through nutrient enrichment, live food with the nutritional profile that meets the requirements of fish larvae can be produced. With the aim to maximize the effectiveness of production to optimize profitability, it is important to evaluate and improve culture techniques for the delivery of micro- and macro-nutrients as feed supplements to larvae in aquaculture systems. Bioencapsulation and enrichment are the evolving techniques in aquaculture that are commonly employed to enhance the nutritional quality of live food by integrating nutrients into them, which subsequently improves the growth, survival, and disease resistance of the consuming hosts. This review aims to highlight some of the approaches and methods used to improve the nutritional quality of live food by modifying their nutrient composition, which could have immense promise in the enhancement of aquatic animal health.

“…The availability of a suitable larval rearing diet is important for the propagation of many aquatic species because it plays a vital role in the growth, survival, and disease resistance at early stages (Sontakke et al, 2019). Most newly-hatched fish and shrimp depend on live feeds as an important basic diet.…”

“…However, with recent knowledge and technologies, several research papers are available on the improvements in live feeds culture techniques (Alajmi et al, 2014;Kline and Laidley, 2015). Also, many studies have reported a higher growth rate, survival, and disease resistance of larvae fed with live food than those fed with formulated diets (Sáez-Royuela et al, 2007;Yanes-Roca et al, 2018;Sontakke et al, 2019). Fuller (1989) defined probiotics as 'a live microbial feed supplement which beneficially affects the host animal by improving its intestinal microbial balance'.…”
