Abstract

Zooplankton, Artemia, snail meat, fish meat and rice bran used as feed were
tested as diets in the early larval growth of H. fossilis over a twelve-day period. Among all the food types, zooplankton was found to produce the best growth results followed by Artemia, while other food types yielded poor results.
