in this study, partial and complete replacement of live food ( artemia nauplii) with a microdiet was investigated in post-larval indian white shrimp, fenneropenaeus indicus . post-larvae (pl 1 ) were stocked into nine 20-l vessels (5-l water volume) at a density of 50 l -1 . shrimp were fed six times a day over 10 days. at the end of the feeding period, there was no significant difference in qu...

 Post larvae of wild and cultured spawners of the Indian white shrimp (Penaeus indicus, Milne Edwards, 1837) were reared to market size, in commercial ponds of shrimp farming site of Helleh, in Bushehr Province, during a six months period. Environmental factors, management process and the diet used to feed shrimps were almost similar for both treatments. Averages of the weight, length, specific...

The study and research of abundance and diversity variation of fish larva (Ichthyoplankton stages) was done in Gowatr Bay during autumn 2006 - summer 2007. Five stations were selected for sampling, and Bongo-Net with 300µ mesh size was towing from bottom to surface. During of survey, totally 531 larvae belong to 11 families were collected and identified. The mean abundance estimated 12.17 larva...

the aim of the peresent study was to find the optimum weaning time to shift pikeperch larvae feeding from live food to the artificial feed. in this experiment, pikeperch larvae were fed with seived pond zooplankton (mainly rotifers) and artemia nauplii from the first feeding day to day 16 of post-hatching. then three weaning times were used on day 16 (w16), day 22 (w22), and day 28 (w28) of pos...

Effect of different feeding levels on water quality, growth performance, survival rate and body composition of Pacific white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei post larvae were studied in zero water exchange system. Shrimp post larvae with mean weight of 74.46± 6.17 mg were fed for 32 days in 300L fiberglass tanks containing 130L water at density of 1 post larvae L-1. There were five treatments includ...

After the collapse of striped bass Morone saxatilis stocks in the late 1970s, hatchery programs and release experiments were instituted to evaluate the potential to restore striped bass in Chesapeake Bay. Because survival of striped bass larvae to first feeding (7 d after hatch) is low in Chesapeake tributaries, ranging from 0.2 to 5.2% of eggs spawned, it is possible to enhance survival throug...

This study examined the effects of a commercial Lactobacillus probiotic on growth, survival and resistance of western white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) larvae against salinity and formalin stresses in Persian gulf and Oman sea ecology research center. In this experiment, larvae were fed on 6 times a day from mysis I (M1) step to post larvae 5 over 3 treatments with 3 repetitions including a c...

This study aimed to identify the causative of the mass mortality observed in zoeal to post-larval shrimp raised in hatcheries in south Iran. For three consecutive months, samples of nauplii and zoea of Litopenaeus vannamei were collected from an affected hatchery located in the province of Bushehr. Upon culture on marine agar, bacterial colonies that produced white, orange, yellow and red pigme...

Studies were conducted to determine a disease outbreak in 14 day old post-larvae of abalone (Haliotis diversicolor supertexta) which caused mass mortality in July 2010 in Shanwei, China. Twenty-nine bacterial strains were isolated from a sample pool of 10 diseased post-larval abalones on 2216E marine agar plates during a natural outbreak of the disease. Among them, a dominant isolate (referred ...
