Seahorse (Hippocampus kuda,Signathidae) ponies were reared for 15 days at the laboratory of Marine Biological Research Station, Ratnagiri (India) using three types of live food viz Artemia nauplii, rotifers (Branchionus plicatilis) and a combination of both. The experiment was conducted in all glass aquaria (0.30 m x 0.30 m x 0.30 m). Seahorse ponies (10 + 0.27 mm) were stocked at 2 L-1 and fed with nutritional live food ad libitum. After 15 days of rearing, the ponies were counted and their individual lengths and weights were recorded. Significantly higher (P< 0.05) weight gain percentage (128.92 + 1.27%) of seahorse ponies, length gain percentage (57.4 + 0.82%), SGR percentage per day (5.53 + 0.04% day–1) and survival percentage (100%) of seahorse ponies were observed in the combination of Artemia nauplii and rotifers as food compared with Artemia nauplii or rotifer alone. Rotifers as live food resulted in poor growth and survival of seahorse ponies under this experimental condition.

Superior Clones

Abstract Nine clones of eastern cottonwood (Populus deltoides Bartr.) from different geographic sources were grown on two sites for height growth and survival percentage after 5 to 10 years. Several clones ranked as superior in Mississippi also performed well during the first 5 years of growthin Kentucky. The survival and diameter growth of some of these "superior" clones, however, was significantly less than others at 10 years. These same clones also exhibited low crown vigor and an abundance of stem cankers associated largely with Fusarium solani. Early growth induces must thereforebe used cautiously for determining long-term planting schedules. South. J. Appl. For. 11(2):73-76.

Lamb Growth

An experiment was conducted at Temora Agricultural Research Station to compare birth weights, growth rates to weaning, and survival of lambs from five breeds. These data formed part of a larger study comparing the productivity of these breeds as possible dual-purpose ewe breeds. The breeds were a Border Leicester X Merino fixed halfbred (BLM), Corriedale, Polwarth, and a South Australian strong wool (S.A. Merino) and a medium wool Peppin strain of Merino. The descending order of ranking of the breeds on birth weight and growth rate to weaning was BLM, Corriedale, S.A. Merino, Polwarth and Peppin Merino. A significant breed x year interaction in pre-weaning growth rate was recorded, since the absolute differences between breeds increased as the overall mean growth rate increased. Breed means for the survival rate of single-born lambs ranged from 80.7 to 86.4 lambs weaned per 100 lambs born and they were not significantly different from each other. The mean survival rate of multipleborn lambs from the S.A. Merino and Polwarth breeds were 65.0 and 69.5 respectively, and these were significantly lower than the survival rate of multiples from the other breeds (76.8 to 80.4). Within breeds, birth weight was found to be positively related to survival at low birth weights but negatively related to survival at high body weights

<p>Larval of fighting fish (<em>Betta splendens</em> Regan) requires precise live foods for its growth and survival. In this experiment, fish larvae were fed on either <em>Paramecium + Artemia, Paramecium + Artemia + Tubifex, Paramecium + Moina, or Paramecium + Moina + Tubifex</em>. The fish were fed <em>Paramecium</em> from day-2 till day-7 after hatching. There after, the live food was changed according to the treatments till day-28.  Results showed that fish fed on Paramecium + Artemia significantly had the highest total length (12.63 mm) than other treatments (11.86 mm). On the other hand, survival rate of fish had no significant affected by the treatments.</p> <p>Keywords: fighting fish, <em>Betta splendens</em>, <em>Paramecium</em>, <em>Moina</em>, <em>Artemia</em>, <em>Tubifex</em>, larvae</p> <p> </p> <p>ABSTRAK</p> <p>Larva ikan betta (<em>Betta splendens</em> Regan) membutuhkan jenis pakan alami yang tepat bagi kelangsungan hidup dan pertumbuhannya. Pada penelitian ini, larva ikan diberi pakan berupa <em>Paramecium</em> + <em>Artemia</em>, <em>Paramecium</em> + <em>Artemia </em>+ <em>Tubifex</em>, <em>Paramecium</em> + <em>Moina</em>, atau <em>Paramecium</em> + <em>Moina </em>+ <em>Tubifex.</em>  Ikan diberi pakan pakan berupa <em>Paramecium</em> dari hari ke-2 hingga hari ke-7. Setelah itu, pemberian pakan alami diubah berdasarkan masing-masing perlakuan hingga hari ke-28.  Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ikan yang diberi pakan <em>Paramecium</em> + <em>Artemia</em> memiliki tubuh secara signifikan lebih panjang (12,63 mm) dibandingkan perlakuan lainnya (11,86 mm).  Sementara itu, kelangsungan hidup tidak dipengatuhi oleh perlakuan.</p> <p>Kata kunci: ikan betta, <em>Betta splendens</em>, <em>Paramecium, Moina, Artemia, Tubifex</em>, larva</p>
