Evaluating The Impact of Egg-Yolk Co-Feeding with Rotifer on The Survival Rates of Asian Sea Bass Larvae
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research delves into the effect of a particular feeding plan on Asian Sea bass (Lates calcarifer) larvae survival, where the plan includes feeding the Asian Sea bass larvae with rotifer larvae for the initial three days. For the next six days, the larvae receive egg yolk in the morning and rotifers again in the evening. Experimentation collected data concerning larval survival rates, growth metrics, and physiological responses to the diet. The data showed that survival rates and growth metrics were statistically significant when the larvae were fed the test diet compared with common feeding methods. So, these outcomes point to how dietary formulations are critical for growth and survival of the culture animals or their respective seed for ensuring sustainable aquaculture. The work makes a strong case for the larviculture of Asian Sea bass that could possibly boost its farming given the shortage in the supply of the seed in India.
