The effects of delayed initial feeding on the growth and survival of silver perch, Bidyanus bidyanus (Mitchell, 1838)
MetadataShow full item record
Three sets of experiments were conducted to determine the point of no return (PNR), growth rate, and survival of silver perch (Bidyanus bidyanus) larvae. In each of the experiments, the larvae were exposed to different initial feeding delays, starting from yolk sac exhaustion at 4 days post hatching (dph). The PNR experiment was conducted for eight days to test different delayed initial feeding of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 days respectively, while growth and survival experiments were conducted for 20 days at 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4 delayed initial feedings, with unfed larvae as a control group. The result showed that the onset of feeding occurred at 5 dph and PNR was detected between 8 and 9 dph. The specific growth rates at 0, 1, and 2 days of delayed initial feeding were significantly higher (p < 0.05) than the other treatments. The initial feeding also affect the survival rate where the delay of 0 and 1 day were significantly higher (p < 0.05) than the other treatments. These results indicate that initial feeding at 5 and 6 dph has an advantage in growth rate over initial feeding at 7 and 8 dph. Because larval survival at 5 dph initial feeding was higher than at 6 dph, the initial feeding of silver perch larvae should start at 5 dph.

Yolk utilization and growth during the early larval life of the Silver Perch, Bidyanus bidyanus (Mitchell, 1838)Sulaeman; Fotedar, Ravi (2017)The aim of this research was to investigate the yolk sac and oil globule utilization by silver perch (Bidyanus bidyanus) larvae produced from domesticated broodfish. The larvae were kept unfed in the holding tank, sampled, ...
Effect of Dietary Estradiol-17ß on the Feminization of Silver Perch, Bidyanus bidyanus (Mitchell, 1838)Sulaeman; Fotedar, Ravi (2016)The silver perch, Bidyanus bidyanus (Mitchell 1838), displays sexual dimorphism in size, with females reaching larger maximum size than males. In an attempt to produce all-female populations, larvae at 30 d posthatching ...
