Juvenile ornate rock lobsters (Panulirus ornatus) (3.240.09 g; 13.80.13 mm CL) captured from the wild were stocked at three densities (14, 29, and 43 m–2) within each of four 4000-L fibreglass raceway tanks with flow-through seawater supply. Lobsters were provided with shelters consisting of opaque polyethylene platforms, 600 mm × 600 mm, supported on six 100-mm legs and were fed continually through the night with a commercial penaeid prawn (P. japonicus) pellet supplemented with prawn flesh once per day. Growth and survival were monitored by means of a monthly sample of 20 lobsters from each experimental unit. After 272 days, density treatments did not differ significantly in survival, which averaged 52.5% (2.8). Lobster size was also unaffected by density, and mean size for all lobsters was 225.34.68 g (61.84.7 mm CL) at harvest. Mortality was consistent through time and was almost entirely attributable to cannibalism of postmoult individuals. The cannibalism may have been due to inappropriate shelter and feeding strategy. Despite higher mortality than anticipated, growth was rapid, representing a specific growth rate of 1.56% day–1, sufficient to permit growth from 3 g to 1 kg within 18 months. The experiment confirmed the excellent potential of P. ornatus for commercial aquaculture.

Abstract Lobster is among freshwater crustaceans which is potentially cultivated in aquaculture system. This present study was conducted to determine the growth and survival rate of freshwater lobster Cherax quadricarinatus fed different forage feed. The experimental methode used a completely randomized design consisted of 4 treatments in triplicate: commercial diet (PL), commercial diet and carrots (PW), commercial diet and potatoes (PK) and commercial diet and sweet potatoes (PU). The experimental lobsters were 5-7 cm in size and 6-8 g in weight. Results indicated that forage feeding can affect the total weight and length, weight gain, specific growth rate and survival rate of lobster. Data showed the best weight gain and specific growth rate were found in PW (34.37±0.30%) and (1.05±0.03%), respectively. The lowest survival rate was seen in PU at 86.67%. However, the best feed conversion ratio gained by PL at 1.74±0.09. This study suggested that the combination of commercial diet with carrots provided the best growth performances in freshwater lobster Cherax quadricarinatus.

Abstract The aim of the study was to determine the influence of the size and form of Artemia sp. feed on the rearing indices of Atlantic sturgeon larvae. In the experiment, the nauplius sizes used were 480 µm (group AD), 430 µm (group AM), and 430 µm frozen nauplii (group AI). After three weeks of rearing, the sturgeon from group AD had the highest mean body weight of 0.131 g that was statistically significantly different from groups AM (0.071 g) and AI (0.033 g). The longest total length was noted in group AD (2.8 cm) and was statistically different from the others (P ≤ 0.05). Specific growth rate in groups AD and AM was 14.7 and 11.8% d−1, respectively, and these values differed statistically from those in group AI at 7.8% d−1. The highest survival rate was recorded in group AD at 60.6%, while the lowest was noted in group AI at 15.6%, and the differences between these two groups were statistically significant. The results of the experiment indicated that a feed of live 480 µm Artemia sp. nauplius significantly accelerated the growth rates and increased the survival rates of Atlantic sturgeon larvae.

The impact of water renewal in a static system on the growth and survival of Clarias gariepinus fingerlings was investigated under six different treatments, namely: T1 (daily water renewal), T3 (three days water renewal), T5 (five days water renewal), T7 (seven days water renewal), T9 (nine days water renewal) and T14 (fourteen days water renewal). Results showed that growth performance and survival was significantly (P< 0.05) affected by the water renewal frequencies. After six weeks, weight gain, daily weight gain, specific growth rate, final body weight, was significantly higher in T5 (P< 0.001). Likewise, survival in T5 was significantly higher compared to other groups (P< 0.001). For all evaluated parameters, T14 had the least performance. Slow response to feeding, slow movement and hanging on the water surface was observed in T9 and T14. Daily water renewal tank had significantly (p < 0.05) higher dissolved oxygen (04.52 mg L-1) while electrical conductivity (800.00 μScm-1) was significantly higher in T14 (P< 0.001). From the result, the growth and survival of the catfish fingerlings in T5 are superior to other renewal regimes. Therefore, for optimum growth and productivity of African catfish fingerlings reared in a static system, it is recommended that water renewal be performed every five days.

The use of different photoperiods (light) were investigated during tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) juvenile growth under captivity. Light intensity tested was: continuous dark (24hrs without light), natural photoperiod simulation (10hrs of light and 14hrs without light) and continuous light (24 with light). No mortality was recorded among treatments. Significant differences was observed after 50 days of experiment among mean fish weight, fish kept under a continuous darkness showed a better specific growth rate (6.02%) when compared to control fish (natural photo period, 3.67%). Fish exposed to continuous light presented the lowest mean specific growth rate (2.04%). It is possible to improve tambaqui juvenile weight gain performance when kept under continuous darkness.
