Effect of different diets and rearing tanks on the development and larval survival of Lysmata amboinensis (De Mann, 1888)

Abstract

Event Abstract Back to Event Effect of different diets and rearing tanks on the development and larval survival of Lysmata amboinensis (De Mann, 1888) Daniel Marques1*, Rui Albuquerque1, Catarina Rosado Correia1, Catarina Barraca1, Francisco Aguilar1 and Sérgio Miguel Leandro1 1 GIRM - Marine Resources Research Group, School of Tourism and Maritime Technology, Polytechnic Institute of Leiria, Campus 4, 2520-641 Peniche, Portugal The optimization of rearing tanks and identification of rich nutritional diets for the larval development of ornamental decapods are two key factors in defining suitable protocols for larval rearing. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of two rearing tanks (spheroconical and planktonkreisel) and three different diets (diet 1: newly hatched Artemia nauplii on a density of 5 nauplii/ml, diet 2: newly hatched Artemia nauplii and harpacticoid copepods on a proportion of 3 artemia nauplii and 2 copepods/ml, Diet 3: Tetraselmis chuii for the first 24h, followed by Artemia nauplii at a density of 5 nauplii/ml) on the survival rate and larval development time of Lysmata amboinensis. The results here obtained indicated that the survival rate at 10 days after hatching on kreisel tanks (48.9 ± 3.60%) was significantly higher than spheroconical tanks (16.2 ± 2.80%) (P<0.001). For the diet effect, the survival rate was significantly higher when the microalgae Tetraselmis chuii was used as a first food (76.7 ± 6.67%). The development time from Zoea I to Zoea IV of L. amboinensis was faster when subject to diet 1 (7.5 ± 0.01 days). In contrast, diet 3 was revealed a longer development period (8.2 ± 0.01 days). The use of copepods diet on the larval rearing of L. amboinensis larvae although not displaying the highest survival, revealed to be extremely promising, needing to adjust the size of the prey throughout the larval development of L. amboinensis.
