Abstract:
The experiment was conducted to study feeding and growth of
Paralichthys olivaceus larvae.Results showed that larvae began to fed at the age of six days at 16~18℃, and the feeding rate was 30%.The highest feeding rate was 65% at the age of 8 days.
P.
olivaceus larvae arrived the point-of-no-return (PNR) at the 9th day.The period of mixed nutrition of the larvae was 3 days.The initial feeding intensity and the feeding rate were slowly increased to the peak when the yolk sac almost exhausted and decreased after that.With the starvation prolonged, unfed larvae entered a negative growth.The survival rate was 10% at the 11th day after hatching.
