Captive breeding and larval rearing of tropical clown anemonefish Amphiprion percula was
accomplished for the first time in India. Broodstocks were developed through pair formation
in which 5 fishes of different age group 30 to 50 mm (presumptive male) and 55 to 80 mm
total length (presumptive female) collected from the coral reef ecosystem of Andaman and
Nicobar islands were reared in 500 l FRP tank fitted with biological filters along with single
host sea anemone Heteractis magnifica for a period of 3 to 4 months. One pair grew ahead
of others in each tank, and the newly formed pairs were transferred to 250 l perspex breeding
tanks. The fishes were fed four times per day in split doses at the rate of 20% of their body
weight with wet feeds: meat of shrimp, green mussel, fish egg mass and clam. In addition to
these, live feed : L type rotifer Brachionus plicatilis (500 to 750 numbers ml-l day-l ) and
artemia nauplii (10 to 25 numbers ml-lday-1) were also provided after 6 hours of bioencapsulation
with Poly Unsaturated Fatty acids (PUFA) and Highly Unsaturated Fatty acids
(HUFA) using cod liver oil.
