چکیده
This study focused on determining the effects of antibiotics on microalgae used as food for scallop larvae. Six different dose levels of chloramphenicol, erythromycin, and furazolidone were added to cultures of Isochrysis galbana and Chaetoceros gracilis. An in vivo experiment was subsequently conducted to determine the effect of chloramphenicol and erythromycin on larval survival of the Pacific calico scallop Argopecten ventricosus in tanks and on the population of its associated bacteria. Results showed that growth of I. galbana was not significantly affected by chloramphenicol or erythromycin at the test doses of 0.5, 1.0, 3.0, 6.0, 9.0, and 12.0 mg/l. C. gracilis was significantly sensitive to erythromycin and chloramphenicol at doses higher than 0.5 and 3.0 mg/l, respectively. Furazolidone inhibited the growth of both I. galbana and C. gracilis at all test doses. Results showed that exposure of scallop larvae to a dose of 6 mg/l chloramphenicol or erythromycin did not significantly affect growth of I. galbana, significantly enhanced survival of the scallop larvae, and inhibited the growth of Vibrio spp. in tanks. This study demonstrated the adverse effect of chloramphenicol, erythromycin and furazolidone on I. galbana and C. gracilis microalgae but the positive effect on survival of the scallop larvae, decreasing associated bacterial population. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.

Effects of different densities of Isochrysis aff. galbana and Chaetoceros calcitrans on some growth parameters and survival rate of winged pearl oyster spat, Pteria penguin
The growth performance and survival rate of spats of winged pearl oyster (Pteria penguin) fed with two microalgae, Isochrysis aff. galbana and Chaetoceros calcitrans, as well as the combination of both species over a period of 60 days, was evaluated. The microalgal density was considered 50000 cell.ml-1 in all treatments. The spats divided into 5 different groups; (1) spats fed exclusively with...
متن کاملThe effects of temperature on the growth of and ammonia uptake by marine microalgae
Four species of microalgae were evaluated at different temperatures for their ability to remove ammonia from intensive marine fish/shrimp culture systems. Growth rates were highest on the first of three days of culturing for marine microalgae Nannochloropsis oculata, Isochrysis aff. galbana, Chaetoceros muelleri, and Tetraselmis chui. This rate was used to compare both the growth and the total ...

This study investigated the growth inhibition effects of three phenicol antibiotics on microalgae used in aquaculture. Different dose levels of chloramphenicol (CAP), florfenicol (FF), and thiamphenicol (TAP) were added to cultures of one freshwater green alga, Chlorella pyrenoidosa, and two marine algae, Isochrysis galbana and Tetraselmis chui. For the two marine algae, FF showed higher toxici...
