Abstract

Five-day old Clarius macmcephalns larvae of initial total length ( + S.D.)
of 7.9 i 0.4 mm showed faster growth rate when raised at a water-temperature
of 30°C. In contrast, the survival rates of the larvae maintained at three different
temperature regimes (e.g., 35°C, 30°C, and ambient: 27-30°C) tested were not
significantly different throughout the 28-day study period. Thus, the recommended
temperature for the culture of C. macrocephaliis larvae is 30°C.
