A study on effects of nutrition on growth and survival of oyster larvae Crassostrea angulata for selective breeding program

Abstract

This study evaluated the effect of different nutrition on growth (growth rate, shell height, shell length), eyed spat larvae rate and survival rate of Crassostrea angulata derived from the wild Taiwanese coastline (China). Three microalgae species of Nannochloropsis oculata, Isochrysis galbana and Chaetoceros calcitrans were fed to oyster larvae at different ratios and time points from D-larvae (day 1) to eyed spat larvae (day 16)...
