“…The use of P. similis in aquaculture has been raising great interest in the last years and has been considered an ideal live prey for marine and freshwater fish larviculture (Hagiwara et al, 2014; Rebolledo et al, 2021; Wullur et al, 2009). It resembles that the use of P. similis in aquaculture is as promising as that of B. plicatilis , given that they share common advantages.…”

“…Proales similis is a euryhaline rotifer found in inland saline waters and marine environments (Román‐Reyes et al, 2017; Walsh et al, 2008; Wullur et al, 2009). This species has been isolated for experimental purposes (aquaculture and ecotoxicology) in Japan and Mexico (Rebolledo et al, 2021; Rebolledo, Nandini, Escobar‐Sánchez, & Sarma, 2018; Wullur et al, 2009). The main characteristic of P. similis as live prey is its morphology.…”

“…Proales similis can grow and reproduce in low and high salinity (2–35 ppt), making it an ideal candidate for a broad spectrum of fish species with high aquaculture potential (Rebolledo et al, 2021; Román‐Reyes et al, 2017; Wullur et al, 2009). Such fish families list includes Atherinidae, Lutjanidae, Serranidae, Chanidae, Sparidae, Sciaenidae, Percidae, Latidae, Mugilidae, Siganidae, Scatophagidae, among others whose feeding protocols involve rotifers (Imentai et al, 2019; Kailasam et al, 2015; Labatut & Olivares, 2004; Martı́nez‐Palacios et al, 2004; Wullur et al, 2011).…”

“…In turn, they are provided at a density of 10–20 rotifers/ml (Burbano et al, 2020; Wullur et al, 2011). Hagiwara et al (2014) and Rebolledo et al (2021) suggest that P. similis is crucial during the first 7 days post‐hatching fish larvae with a very small mouth, then feeding protocols are completed with brachionids.…”

“…Usually, rotifers are cultured in their optimal salinity conditions to achieve high densities in a short time, which in many cases differs from the culture conditions for fish larvae (Fielder et al, 2000; Øie & Olsen, 1993). For example, P. similis grows optimally at 15 ppt but transfers to optimal conditions for larval rearing of the silverside Chirostoma estor estor (5 ppt) and the seven‐banded grouper Epinephelus septemfasciatus (34 ppt) (Rebolledo et al, 2021; Wullur et al, 2011). Several strains of B. plicatilis have been tested as candidates to feed fish larvae cultured at different salinities; however, in some cases, their availability (mobility and swimming) as prey after rapid salinity changes seems to be short (Fielder et al, 2000; Imentai et al, 2019; Øie & Olsen, 1993).…”

In this work, we examined the effects of rapid changes in salinity on the availability (mobility and swimming) of the prey rotifer Proales similis. Rotifers were transferred as follows: 5 to 15, 25 and 35 (T1); 15 to 5, 25 and 35 (T2); 25 to 5, 15 and 35 (T3) and 35 to 5, 15 and 25 ppt (T4) during 1-240 min. Results showed that in T2 and T3, the percentage of mobile rotifers in the water column recovered up to 100% after 15 min. At T1 and T4, mobility regained slower at 35 and 5 ppt respectively. All individuals transferred at 15 and 25 ppt maintained their mobility above 93% after 15 min. In general, swimming speed ranged from 0.37 to 0.65 mm s −1 and was higher at 15 ppt and lower at 35 ppt. In all salinities, swimming increased with time and recovered better in T2 and T3. These data suggest that P. similis can acclimate to a wide range of salinity gradients in the short term (1-240 min). According to the literature and our results, P. similis has a greater tolerance to sudden salinity changes than brachionid rotifers used traditionally in fish larviculture.

Effects of Different Carbon Sources on the Growth and Production of Rotifer (Brachionus plicatilis) in a Zero-Water Exchange Biofloc Culture System

Brachionus plicatilis is considered an indispensable first live feed for many fish and crustacean larvae; the demand for the species has increased globally. The mass production of the rotifer involves quality microalga and a standard diet; this culture is expensive and needs a skilled workforce. The hatchery’s incubators are likely to have limited resources leading to sudden rotifer culture crashes that ultimately disrupt the larvae production. More recently, improved sustainable rotifer production has been achieved through biofloc technology (BFT) that uses fish wastes and wheat flour. However, various carbon sources, which are typically used in BFT-based systems need to be explored and tested for their efficacies. A 4-day rotifer, B. plicatilis batch culture, was conducted in BFT systems by adding four carbon sources: molasses, rice bran, maize starch, and palm kernel expeller versus a control (without any carbon source). Fifteen 125 L containing polyethylene tanks with a water volume of 100 L were used for this experiment, and each tank was stocked with 5 × 106 rotifer (50 rotifers mL−1). Different carbon sources in triplicates including a control were tested as treatments. The carbon : nitrogen ratio in the study was maintained at 10 : 1. The rotifers were fed with Baker’s yeast at 1.0, 0.50, and 0.25 g million-−1 rotifers for the first, second, and third day and continued after that. Total ammonia–nitrogen (TAN) and pH values were found to be significantly (p<0.05) lower in all four treatments of the BFT system than in the control. Significantly higher (p<0.05) settleable solids were obtained in the molasses and rice bran treatments than those in the maize starch or palm kernel expeller. Likewise, the significantly (p<0.05) higher density of B. plicatilis and their specific growth rate were obtained in the molasses and rice bran-adding treatments, followed by those in palm kernel expeller, maize starch, and the control. This study indicates that molasses and rice bran as carbon sources when added to BFT-based systems enhance B. plicatilis production.

Recent Trends in Live Feeds for Marine Larviculture: A Mini Review

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In marine larviculture, farmed larvae mainly rely on the alimentation of a group of small-sized phytoplankton and zooplankton referred to as live feed. Under the diversifying demands of human consumption and ornamental aquarium industry, new species of live feed and their innovative production methods are essential focuses for sustainable larviculture of many emerging fish and invertebrate species. The selection of proper live feed for larval feeding is based on several parameters, such as size, morphology, nutritional value, stock density, and growth rate. This review aims to highlight the biological characteristics, production approach, common larviculture applications as well as recent innovations in the aquaculture technology of live feed organisms (microalgae, ciliated protists, rotifer, Artemia, copepod, and others).
