Abstract

In the aquaculture of fish and crustaceans, the indoor culture of M. macrocopa constitutes a requisite to produce a more effective feed for the larviculture of the cultured commercial species. The present study examined the efficiency of different diets on population density, survival, and productivity of M. macrocopa. The cladocerans [Cladocera: currently largely referred to as Diplostraca] were fed and enriched with seven diets, including Chlorella sp., agro-industrial residues (rice bran and soybean meal), bio-organic fertilizer (chicken manure and swiftlet waste), canola oil and artificial micro pellets. The diets were provided at a concentration of 500 mg/l for each diet. The M. macrocopa fed on rice bran had a higher population density, survival, productivity, and a promising higher nutrient quality than the test groups fed on the other dietary treatments used. This study has covered the most important aspects of nutritional requirements to produce live feed organisms, which would provide a comprehensive data set for an alternative solution of the best feed for M. macrocopa propagation and their utilization in hatcheries.

Résumé

En aquaculture de poissons et de crustacés, l’élevage en intérieur de M. macrocopa constitue un prérequis pour produire une nourriture plus efficace pour la production de larves des espèces commerciales élevées. Cette étude examine l’efficacité de différents régimes sur la densité de population, la survie et la productivité de M. macrocopa. Les cladocères [Cladocère : actuellement largement nommé Diplostraca] ont été nourris et enrichis avec sept régimes, incluant Chlorella sp., des résidus agro-alimentaires (riz brun et farine de soja), engrais bio-organiques (fumier de poulet et déchets de salangane), huile de canola et micro granulés artificiels. Les régimes ont été donnés à une concentration de 500 mg/l chacun. Les M. macrocopa nourris avec le riz brun ont eu une densité de population, une survie, une productivité plus élevées, et une qualité nutritive potentiellement plus élevée que les groupes nourris avec les autres régimes testés. Cette étude s’est intéressée aux aspects les plus importants des besoins nutritionnels pour produire une nourriture vivante, et pourrait fournir un ensemble de données pour une solution alternative à une meilleure nourriture pour M. macrocopa et leur utilisation généralisée en écloseries.
