This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of probiotic (Bacillus latrospores and Bacillus licheniformis) on growth and survival of Silver carp larvae (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix). Rotifers (Brachionus plicatilis) were used as live prey vehicle for probiotic transport. They were cultured in sea water with 15 ppt salinity and Nannochloropsis oculata microalgae was used as feed. Five trea...

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...

in recent years the use of rotifers as live food for rearing fish larvae and crustacean is very important. in this study, the effect of two concentrations (2.5×106, and 5×106 cell/ml-1) of two algae (powdered chlorella and nannochloropsis), on body and egg size of marine rotifer, brachionus plicatilis were investigated. rotifers were cultured in standard conditions in 500 ml plastic containers....
