Kurzfassung

Im Rahmen eines Aquakulturvorhabens wurde geprüft, inwieweit sich die Gegenwart der DiatomeePhaeodactylum tricornutum auf die Zucht der GarneleMacrobrachium rosenbergii (de Man) auswirkt. Als Nahrung für die Larven vonM. rosenbergii dienten in den Versuchsreihen (12 ‰ S, 28±1° C, Dauerlicht) Nauplien vonArtemia salina und ab 9. Lebenstag zusätzliche Gaben vonMugil-Rogen. Verglichen mit den Kontrollreihen bewirkte die Gegenwart der Diatomeen (340 000 Zellen/ml) eine signifikant erhöhte Überlebensrate der Larven, und zwar sowohl in stehenden als auch in rezirkulierenden Kultureinheiten. Zudem erreichte eine größere Anzahl von Individuen das Postlarvalstadium, wobei auch die Metamorphose früher als bei den algenfrei gezüchteten Kontrolltieren einsetzte. Wasserchemische Untersuchungen zeigten, daß die verbesserten Zuchterfolge nicht von den gemessenen Konzentrationen der Endprodukte des Stickstoffwechsels (NH +4 , NO −2 , NO −3 ) abhängig waren.

Summary

1. A comparative study of algal supplement(Phaeodactylum tricornutum) enhancement of static and recirculatingMacrobrachium rosenbergii larval culture was conducted.

2. Algal supplements significantly increased larval survival in both static and recirculating culture systems.

3. Algal supplements significantly increased postlarval production in both static and recirculating culture systems.

4. There was no significant difference in either survival or postlarval production between algal supplemented static and recirculating culture systems.

5. The rate of larval development was appreciably increased by the additions of an algal supplement.

6. The chemical parameters of water quality monitored (NH4, NO2, NO3) did noch appear to be related to the algal supplement enhancement ofM. rosenbergii larval culture.
