Improvemet of ornamental fish color with live algae feeding
Authors
Abstract:
In the nature, ornamental fish have a variety of beautiful colors that becomes pale or dull colored in conditions of intensive culture in breeding halls. Feeding these fish with algae can improve their color. For this purpose, rainbow trout larval stage feed was used as the base feed. The treated foods obtained from the powdering of the basic food were impregnated with different percentages of algae, which because of the high fat content of the food, this impregnation was done efficiently. They were then boiled in semi-cooled boiling water and passed through the pelletizer and crushed with cramplers to reach the ornamental fish's mouth .In this study, feeding on carotenoid-rich microalgae Spirulina platensis and 1% of Hematococcus pluvialis significantly improved body color of swordfish, ornamental trout and Cichlid in 1.5 to 2% for 3 weeks.

Live foods in the feeding of aquarium fish larvae
At reproduction centers, using live food is important, especially when it comes to the first feeding of aquarium fish larvae. Live foods commonly used in the aquarium aquaculture industry include rotifers in two sizes, small types with a size of 50-110 microns, and larger types with a size of 100-200 microns, Artemia, and copepods. Fish larvae in marine aquariums primarily consume copepod...

We present in this paper some advances in color restoration of underwater images, especially with regard to the strong and non uniform color cast which is typical of underwater images. The proposed color correction method is based on ACE model, an unsupervised color equalization algorithm. ACE is a perceptual approach inspired by some adaptation mechanisms of the human visual system, in particu...

Ornamental fish farming, like other aquaculture productions, it depends on the quality and quantity of egg production, hatching, fecundity and survival of the larvae. In general, every step of aquaculture, followed by nutritional goals. Most of these studies are in the stages of larval growth. Because the highest costs are imposed on aquaculture and the most critical biological period of orname...
