Growth Performance of the Prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii Post-Larvae Fed with Probiotic Bacterium, Enterococcus hirae Enriched Artemia franciscana Nauplii

Growth, survival and stress resistance of Tiger Barb (Puntius tetrazona) larvae fed on linseed oil-enriched Artemia franciscana nauplii

Effect of feeding on linseed oil (LO)-enriched Artemia was investigated on growth, survival and stress resistance of tiger barb (Puntius tetrazona) larvae. Larvae were fed by LO-enriched (2.5, 5 and 7.5 %) as well as non-enriched Artemia nauplii for 14 d, followed by 14 d feeding on non-enriched Artemia. Fish fed on enriched nauplii showed significant increase in growth performance at both 14th...

Chapter: 10. Effect of probiotics on growth and survival of post larvae of giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii

Use of Brewer’s Yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae as Growth Promoter in Giant Freshwater Prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii de Man) Post Larvae

A feeding trial was conducted for 75 days to study the effects of live brewer’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) on growth and body composition in post larvae of the giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii (de Man). Five diets were formulated containing optimum protein level of 35.24±0.04. These experimental feeds were supplemented with 0.0% (control diet), 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.5% and 1.0% l...

Effects of dietary iron oxide nanoparticles on the growth performance, biochemical constituents and physiological stress responses of the giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii post-larvae

This study was performed to assess the growth promoting potential of dietary Fe2O3 NPs in Macrobrachium rosenbergii PL. Fe2O3 NPs was supplemented at 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 mg kg-1 with the basal diet (containing 5.45 mg Iron kg-1). The concentration of Fe in Fe2O3 NPs supplemented diet was increased correspondingly. Fe2O3 NPs supplemented diets were fed to M. rosenbergii PL (initial weight, ...
