Description 198-204
In mariculture, often the locations of fish hatcheries and farming are distantly situated, and hence, there is a need to
transport the seeds/seedlings to a longer distance with maximum survival rate. In the present study, length and weight of
fingerlings, duration of starvation, packing density, water volume, water temperature and oxygen level in the packing bags
were standardized to ensure maximum survival during transportation. The cobia fingerlings with mean length and weight of
48±12 mm and 3.0±1.0 g, respectively were transported for a duration 48 h at 25 °C with 100 % survival at a packing
density of 2.5 fingerlings per litre (L) (7.5±2.5 g/L). Similarly, silver pompano fingerlings with mean length and weight of
24±0.48 mm and 0.6±0.08 g, respectively were transported for a duration of 48 h at 25 °C with 100 % survival at a packing
density of 18.75 fingerlings/L (11.25±1.9 g/L). Experiments on bulk transportation of pompano fingerlings in 1000 litres
capacity HDPE tanks containing 600 litres of seawater with continuous aeration using oxygen cylinders fitted in a
transportation vessel revealed that the silver pompano fingerlings can be transported for a duration of 48 h at 25 °C and 5 – 6 ppm
dissolved oxygen concentration with 100 % survival at a packing density of 8.3 fingerlings/L (4.98±0.8 g/L).
