Abstract
Blubberlip snapper, Lutjanus rivulatus is a popular marine fish that taste like chicken. Commercial culture of Lutjanus rivulatus has been hampered by the mass mortality in early larvae stage. This experiment uses cod oil juice as fust feeding. A total of 2 experiments were conducted. Each experiment had 2 replicates. In the first experiment, 100 tails of 1dAH larvae were cultured respectively in 7 liter aquarium at a salinity of 32 ppt and water volume of 6 liters. The larvae were fed cod oil juice daily at concentrations of 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8ml/l, respectively in triplicates. In the experiment 0ml/l concentration functioned as the control. Results indicated that mean survival rate was the highest in 0.4ml/l. Larvae survived till 6dAH only. In second experiments, all culture conditions were similar except the concentration of cod oil juice fed to larvae. In this experiment, larvae were fed cod oil juice daily at concentrations of 0, 0.3, 0.4,0.5, 0.6 and 0.7ml/l, respectively in triplicates. Results indicated addition of cod oil juice at any concentrations helped improve survival rate and growth rate. Mean survival rate and mean growth rate was the highest in 0.4ml/l which was not significantly different from 0.3ml/l. The lowest mean survival and growth rate was in control group in which no cod oil juice was added. It was significantly different (P < 0.05) than all the other concentrations. However, larvae only survived until 6dAH in all concentrations. This study recommends that the addition of 0.4ml/l of cod oil juice in Lutjanus rivulatus larvae culture as supplementary feed for increased survival and growth rate.
