“…Grass carp were obtained from fisheries (Sichuan, China). Before starting the experiment, fish were acclimated to the experimental environment for four weeks, according to Sun et al [38]. Then, 540 fish (mean weight 275.82 ± 0.57 g) were randomly assigned to 18 experimental cages (1.4 L Â 1.4 W Â 1.4H m), resulting in 30 fish per cage.…”

“…Probiotics have improved stress tolerance and immunity of various aquatic animal groups such as fish species including sea bream, Sparus aurata [11], grouper Epinephelus coioides [57], nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus [58]; shrimp such as western king prawns, Penaeus latisulcatus [59] shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei [60][61][62], and tiger shrimp, Penaeus monodon [63]. Among the bacterial genera evaluated for probiotic use, Bacillus species have been successful in improving the stress tolerance in these aquatic animal hosts and more recently in black swordtail, Xiphophorus helleri [16].…”

The present study examined the effect of simulated transport on marron, Cherax cainii, (Austin, 2002) after a 10 week feeding trial using basal diet or customised probiotic, Bacillus mycoides supplemented diet by measuring intestinal bacterial population, total haemocyte count (THC), bacteraemia, morbidity, dehydration and mortality.Packing steps followed the established standard packing method for live transportation of marron. Each treatment group consisted of six polystyrene boxes (65 × 30 × 40 cm 3 ), and each box contained 30 marron from each feeding group. The sealed boxes were placed on a trolley at room temperature to give the effect of transportation. Boxes were opened at 24 th and 48 th hour post simulated transport and marron from each treatment group were returned to the culture tank. After temperature acclimation, the marron were observed for mortality and samples were collected to assess marron health and immunity.The results demonstrated that no mortality was observed at 24 h of transport both in basal diet and probiotic diet fed marron, however at 48h of transport the survival of probiotic fed marron was significantly higher (100 ± 0.0%) compared to survival (93.3 ± 2.8%) of basal diet fed marron. The higher survival rate of probiotic fed marron was also sustained by superior health and immune status indicated by higher intestinal bacterial population, higher total haemocyte count and lower haemolymph bacteria (bacteraemia) level. In brief, supplementation with host origin customized probiotic B. mycoides significantly improved marron tolerance to a live transport stress test, which resulted in no mortality up to 48h of transport.

“…The fishes in experiments and control were fed with pellet feed formulated according to the method described by Sun et al (2010) with the feeding rate of 3% of biomass per day provided in equal rations at 8.00 AM, 1.00 PM, 6.00 PM for 120 days and the excess diet was collected and dried at 60ºC, put in room temperature for 3 days to restore the natural moisture and then weighed. Daily feed was adjusted every 30 days by batch weighing of fish in each tank after a 24 h period of starvation.…”

In the present study, effect of various levels light on growth performances and skin colour enhancement of marine smoke angelfish Apolemichthys xanthurus was investigated. The fishes were reared in tanks with three different levels (250 -500, 750 -1000, and 1500 -2000 lux) and control (without additional light) for 120 days and the growth, survival and carotenoid content were investigated. The results of the growth performances studies suggested that the fishes reared under low light level (250-500 lux) exhibited higher weight gain (73.90±0.06), specific growth rate (0.616±0.01), and survival rate (90%) and feed conversion ratio (1.00±0.01). The colour enhancement studies suggested that the carotenoid content of the fishes reared under low, medium, high and control was about 6.84±0.03, 6.19±0.04, 5.48±0.06 and 3.57±0.04 mg g -1 respectively. Thus, the result obtained from the present study indicates that the low light level (250-500 lux) was more suitable for better growth and skin colour enhancement of Apolemichthys xanthurus which could be recommended for the successive production of this high priced species.
