Abstract

Macrobrachium rosenbergii post-larvae were produced in 1992 and
1993 using Artemia nauplii and cultured zooplankton Brachionus
plicatilis (:rotifier), Apocyclops dengizicus (copepod) and Moina sp.
(cladoceran) supplemented with chopped Tubifex worms. In 1992 (first
trial) two experiments were carried out under water temperature range
of 24.5 to 28.0°C and 26.0 to 28.5°C respectively and corresponding
p-ost-larval production was 56.8% and 86.3%. The duration of
experiments was 58 and 40 days. During second trial in 1993 water
temperature varied between 25.0 to 27 .0°C. At the end of 59 days the
post-larvae were found to be 44% of the total number of larvae stocked
on the first day.
