Abstract
This study aimed to determine the types and densities of live foods that affect the growth and survival of grouper larvae (Epinephelus malabaricus) from 0 to 12 days old. In the first experiment, the feeding regime consisted of four types of live feeds (three rotifer strains: Proales similis, Brachionus rotundiformis, Brachionus plicatilisand the trochophore of Pacific oyster) for larval nursing. The results showed that super small rotifers (Proales similis) (size 50-60µm) were most suitable for larval rearing of grouper to 12 days old. In experiment 2, the densities of rotifer (P. similis) at 10 individuals/ml and 15 individuals/ml were showed the best results in nursing of larval grouper, denoted as the survival rate of 12-day-old larvae was 8.3-11.7%; the population’s subdivision coefficients and the average length of grouper larvae were 4.4-8.8% and 601.8-603.6μm, respectively.
