The effect of the nanoflagellate Tetraselmis suecica on the growth and survival of grunion, Leuresthes tenuis, larvae

The nanoflagellate Tetraselmis suecica was tested both as the sole food source and as a diet complement to Artemia nauplii for grunion, Leuresthes tenuis , larvae. A total of 4800 grunion larvae, obtained through artificial insemination and incubation, were cultivated under laboratory conditions. Gr...

Description
Summary:The nanoflagellate Tetraselmis suecica was tested both as the sole food source and as a diet complement to Artemia nauplii for grunion, Leuresthes tenuis , larvae. A total of 4800 grunion larvae, obtained through artificial insemination and incubation, were cultivated under laboratory conditions. Growth and survival rates were registered for 14 days in two experimental series. In the first series the nanoflagellate T. suecica was offered as the sole food source at five different concentrations. Survival and growth increased in agreement with the increase in T. suecica concentration. In the second series, Artemia nauplii were offered at six concentration levels. In this series, survival and growth were directly related to nauplii concentration.
