Subject Fish Nutrition
 
Description Food is normally the largest single item in the
running expenditure in fish and shellfish farming. Hence
the suitability and cost effectiveness of the ration is of
paramount importance to commercial success, many different
types of feed may require development to meet the varied
needs of different species and size of larvae. Palatability
and physical structure of shrimp and bivalve ration are
inter-related. Both factors alone and in conjucation affect
ingestion and have an important impact on prawn and bivalve
nutrition. Microencapsulated diet for larval and postlarval
diets have been advocated by Meyers (1973). Gelatin
microencapsulated diets suitable in sea water. Until the
development of microparticulated diets the recent years the.
study of larval nutrition was impossible.
