摘要
The present study compared the growth and survival of 14-day old larvae of Asian seabass, Lutes calcarifer fed on copepod Oithona rigida. The 21 days larval rearing experiment showed that copepod significantly improves growth and survival of seabass larvae. On termination of the experiment, length and weight of the copepod fed larvae were significantly higher than that of seabass larvae fed on Brachionus plicatilis and Artemia nauplii. The results clearly indicate that the superior n-3 HUFA (highly unsaturated fatty acids) content as well as the nutritional composition of O. rigida can support the fish larvae for appreciable growth and survival.
