Improvements on Live Feed Enrichments for Pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) Larval Culture
Original language description
Simple Summary Pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) is considered a species of high interest for the development of new species in the European Union. Currently, survival rates during the larval stages are below 20%. Inadequate larval rearing protocols, such as poor nutrition, are responsible for such low survival, which is stopping the commercial development of pikeperch. In order to improve and customize nutritional needs during the larval stages, the use of Chlorella vulgaris was introduced in the enrichment feeding protocol. The introduction of such algae to their diet through rotifers has improved survival and overall fitness by providing adequate fatty acids to their nutrition. Abstract This study focused on supplementing pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) larvae with rotifers fed with Chlorella vulgaris during the first 15 days post hatching (dph). Larvae were fed a combination of rotifers and artemia under three different enrichments: A) Nannochloropsis occulata, B) Chlorella vulgaris, and C) a commercial enrichment-Selco, Spresso from INVE. After 17 days from the trial initiation differences were found between treatments on survival rate, myomere height (MH), fatty acid composition, and stress tolerance. In terms of survival, larvae from treatment b (74.5%) and c (66%) excelled over the control (a) treatment (59%). Furthermore, larvae from both the Chlorella (b) and the Selco (c) treatments showed more resilience to stress conditions (10% and 37% reduction in mortality) when exposed to high salinity conditions (18ppt) for 3 h (stress response). Overall, larvae from treatments b and c performed better than those receiving a non-enriched diet (a), likely due to the higher levels of Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) and the ability of pikeperch to desaturate and elongate fatty acids (FA) with 18 carbons to LC PUFAs (Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids). The present study provides valuable input for designing improved feeding protocols, which will increase the efficiency of pikeperch larval culture.
