Experiments for the improved use of decapsulated Artemia cysts in intensive culture of African catfish larvae
1999
Feeding dried and vitamin C enriched decapsulated Artemia cysts to African catfish larvae increased their growth rate significantly after 6 days over those fed only freshly decapulated cysts. Groups fed with Artemia nauplii had a significantly higher growth during the experiment, although this difference was not considerably important in practice. Tank colour had no influence on growth. Because of their lower price, the decapsulation of lower quality cysts can be an appropriate feed source in intensive cultures of African catfish larvae.
