Description Expanding production methods of marine finfish and shellfish is critical
to the advancement of food, bait, and ornamental aquaculture
industries. Currently, only a limited number of marine fish species are
being cultured and with variable success. The major impediment to
commercial production of currently grown species and success with
new candidate species is the utilization of an appropriate live feed
during the first feeding phase of the larval cycle. This period is extremely
crucial for the optimal development of marine fish larvae. A live feed
with the proper nutritional composition, constituting a suitable size
range, and stimulating a feeding response is necessary to expand the
number of species of marine finfish and shellfish produced. In this
training manual, various live feeds used in feeding finfish / shellfish
larvae are discussed in detail with their culture methodologies.
Visakhapatnam Regional Centre of ICAR - Central Marine Fisheries
Research Institute has a long history of expertise in isolation and culture
of live feed for use in aquaculture / mariculture. The centre has been
providing stock cultures of marine microalgae to all shrimp hatcheries
along the east coast of India. The centre receives umpteen numbers of
requests for training on live feed production. It was therefore, felt a
necessity to develop a trained manpower in the industry for carrying
forward this technology, which is vital for the success of any finfish /
shellfish hatchery. This training manual will serve as a ready reckoner
for technicians in the hatchery for maintaining and multiplying quality
live feed for use in larviculture.
