Diet influences survival and growth of intensively reared larval saugeye (Sander vitreus × Sander canadensis)

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 2, Issue 6, Page 450-457, December 2022., 2022
Abstract We evaluated the performance of five commercial microstarter diets (Otohime, Gemma Micro, Gemma Wean, Optimal Starter, and Omega One Fry) fed to first feeding larval saugeye Sander vitreus × Sander canadensis. Triplicate tanks of 2500 larvae (initial weight: 2.6 ± 0.6 mg) were stocked at 4 days post‐hatch (DPH) and fed treatment diets for 4 ...
