“…This size is comparable to the size of the mouth of PL 15−25 (Bailey-Brock & Moss 1992). Detritus of similar size has been found in the gut contents of PL (Bombeo-Tuburan et al 1993). Processed and pelleted food made of litter with attached biofilm (BL) and separate biofilm (B) was stored frozen at a temperature of −18°C until the time of feeding in the experimental treatments.…”

“…In experimental studies of cultured aquatic species, isotopes of these elements are also the most commonly used, providing measures of energy transfer and protein utilization. In aquaculture pond systems, which represent semi-controlled aquatic mesocosms, both measurements of stable isotopes at natural abundance levels and isotopically-enriched nutritional substrates have been used to assess the sources and sinks for dietary carbon and nitrogen (Schroeder, 1983;Bombeo-Tuburan, et al, 1993;Nunes et al, 1997;Epp et al, 2002;Burford et al, 2004aBurford et al, , 2004b. Such studies have determined, for example, the flow of nutrients from feeds into sediments (Yokoyama et al, 2006), from feeds to microbial flocs (Burford et al, 2002), and the relative contribution of formulated feeds and natural productivity to tissue growth (Parker et al, 1989).…”

Stable isotopes are non-hazardous markers that have been widely-used in assessing energy flow within aquatic ecosystems. Hatchery systems are also highly amenable to this approach, as they represent controlled mesocosms with a limited number of food sources and short planktonic food chains with rapid and measurable bioaccumulation of the heavier stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen at each trophic step. Differences in the natural isotopic composition of dietary components may be used to provide direct integrated measures of ingestion, nutrient incorporation and growth through development under normal feeding and environmental conditions, in either the laboratory or the hatchery. Simple isotopic mixing models allow estimation of relative utilisation of inert diets and live feeds, and individual components of compound feeds. Such experiments have investigated the effectiveness of cofeeding regimes, optimal timing of live food transitions (eg from rotifers to Artemia), presentation of inert diets, optimal size/age for weaning and incorporation of specific dietary components. Furthermore, time-series measurement of changes in tissue isotopic signature (δ 15 N, δ 13 C) enables modelling of growth dilution and tissue turnover components of isotopic change driven by nutritional sources. These measures need to take into account the difference in isotope values that is typically observed between the diet and consumer (isotopic discrimination factor, ∆). In marine larvae and early post-larvae, ∆ 13 C and ∆ 15 N have been found to range widely, from 0.4-4.1‰ and 0.1-5.3‰ respectively. The observation of such a high level of variation within species and life stages indicates a strong effect of diet quality on isotopic discrimination. Elucidating mechanisms underlying such observations, and much greater resolution in larval nutritional studies, can be achieved by application of rapidlydeveloping techniques for compound specific stable isotope analysis in tracing the transfer of dietary sources of carbon and nitrogen into tissue components. Fast growing aquatic larvae represent excellent model organisms exhibiting rapid transitions in isotopic composition in 3 response to diet, rapidly changing feeding behaviour and transitions in trophic level with ready ingestion of modifiable experimental diets in short and controlled food chains. Thus results of studies of the effects of diet composition, developmental stage, growth rates or environmental conditions on stable isotope incorporation will be of broad relevance not only in terms of larval nutrition but can also more broadly inform the design and interpretation of ecological studies.

“…Naturally feeding shrimp consume typically microalgal-based detritus (Bombeo Tuburan et al 1993;Tacon et al 2002). However, the main cultured shrimp species are heavily fed with aquafeed and therefore consume a much smaller quantity of "green water" microalgae than in unfed culture.…”

“…Interestingly, however, several of the leading cultured fish species (Table 1) are nearly obligate planktivores and consume little if any aquafeed (NACA 1989;Xie 1999). An additional number of the leading species, such as Nile tilapia, Rohu carp, Bighead carp, Catla (Rahman 2006;Rahman et al 2008), and the leading shrimp species, even when aquafeed is available to them, often consume "natural food," 1 most of it algae, as a significant part of their diets (Bombeo Tuburan et al 1993;Moriarty 1997;Amaya et al 2007). In fact, as much as 90% of the "natural food" of the above species often consists of primary production (mostly algae) and phytoplanktivorous zooplankton (Schroeder et al 1990;Pekar and Olah 1992) that grows in water termed "green water."…”

“Green water” microalgae: the leading sector in world aquaculture

Freshwater fish culture is generally considered the largest sector in world aquaculture. Several of the leading species consume "green water" plankton. This planktonmostly microalgae (phytoplankton) and also bacteria, protozoa and zooplankton-grows in man-made fertilized water impoundments. The quantity of "green water" microalgae consumed by fish and shrimp is estimated here at a quarter billion ton fresh weight a year, about three and a half times as much as the entire recognized aquaculture. This estimate is based on the quantities of the microalgae consumed and the efficiencies of their use for growth by the main species in aquaculture. The cost of producing "green water" microalgae by the aquaculturists-mostly in SE Asia-is low. The populations in "green water" are biologically managed by the cultured fish themselves. The fish with their different feeding habits help "manage" the composition of the plankton and the overall water quality as they grow. The aquaculturists further manage "green water" through simple means, including water exchange and fertilization. Cost is remunerated partially by the income from sales of the fish and partially by bio mitigation services that "green water" polyculture ponds provide the aquaculturists in treating farm and household waste. A comprehension of the scale and importance of the microalgae sector to world aquaculture should lead to more research to improve understanding of algal population dynamics, growth factors, and efficiency of food chains. The consequent improved control of the plankton's interaction with fish and shrimp production in "green water" will undoubtedly contribute much to the expansion in production of seafood.
