Optimization of Feeding Rate of Juvenile Common Carp, (cyprinus Carpio L.), during Short Intensive Rearing under Controlled Conditions
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of this experiment was to determine the optimum feeding dose for juvenile common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) with the average initial body weight of 0.88g (WB) and the total length of 37.9 mm (TL). The rearing was conducted for 10 days at the temperature of 27°C under controlled conditions. The fish were divided into 6 feeding groups (in triplicate), for which the doses of feed were established at 6, 9, 12, 15, 18and 21% of the biomass per day.The biomass for each group was established every day before the first feeding.Fish were fed three times daily in equal portions, with granulate (1.5 mm granulation, Skretting, Norway: protein content 52%, fat – 20%, carbohydrates – 1.4%). After the experiment was completed, the following were determined for each feeding variant: average length (TL), average body weight (BW), Fulton’s condition coefficient (K), specific growth rate (SGR), feed conversion rate (FCR), individual body mass gain (IBMG) and growth rate (GR). The dose of 12% of daily biomass should be regarded as the most suitable for juvenile common carp with the body weight ranging from 0.9 to 2.1 g, reared at the temperature of 27C, under controlled conditions. Higher doses of feed did not increase the values of the rearing parameters. Present research showed that it is necessary to estimate the optimal feeding rates for common carp originated juveniles reared under controlled conditions.

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of biogen probiotic additives on growth performance of common carp, Cyprinus carpio. Four practical diets containing 0 (control) , 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 % Biogen probiotic were used to feed fish. Seventy-two juvenile common carp (65 ? 3.5g) were randomly distributed between 12 fiberglass tanks of 500 L capacity. During 60 days of feeding trial, the...
متن کاملHeritability estimation for growth-related traits in juvenile wild common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) in the south of Caspian Sea
Wild common carp of the Caspian Sea is one of the important fish in the north of Iran, which has been introduced to inland aquaculture. Its genetic characteristics are investigated to set up for breeding programs that are still unknown. Using wild common carp in aquaculture is limited for uncontrolled variation in performance of fish derived from undomesticated breeders. A 7×7 factorial matin...

This study was conducted with different levels (0, 0.25, 0.5,1,2 g) of Zingiber officinale powder per 100 g of common carp commercial diet. Feed was offered for 8 weeks by the post pelleting liquid spraying method. Results showed that there were significant differences in all growth parameters and body composition except in survival rate, Gain Weight Percent (GW%) ,SGR and NFE between treatment...
