Evaluation of Using Decapsulated Artemia Cysts and Artemia Nauplii or Commercial Feed as Starter Feed for Freshwater Prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii Larvae

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...

یافته کوتاه: تاثیر روتیفر آب شیرین غنی شده با ویتامین C بر شاخصهای رشدلاروتاسماهی ایرانی(Acipenser persicus)

Acipenser persicus is the most important sturgeon species in the south Caspian Sea, showing high mortality during larval culture. The aim of this study was to use the freshwater rotifer, Brachionus calyciflorus to feed A. persicus larvae to improve survival rates and enhance resistance. Three experimental treatments were used in this study Treatment 1, similar to the feeding protocol of the hat...
