| Summary: | Plankton is the primary food sources for many fish larvae as well as other organisms
during their early stage of development. Zooplankton such as copepods play a major role in
freshwater and marine environment as live food that offer great variety of sizes, species and
nutritional value to the larvae. The aim of this study is to increase the nutritional value of copepod
and its effect on Penaeus monodon post-larvae growth performance. The experiment was carried
out 30 days and comprised with four different treatments of diets. The diets fed to copepod
consisted of algal diet which is Tetraselmis sp. that acted as a control followed by three types of
vegetable-based diet which is carrot, water spinach, and lettuce. The efficiency of the copepods
enriched was further evaluate on its growth, survival and proximate composition. The outcome
of the study showed that highest specific growth rate (SGR) in P.monodon post-larvae was
obtained when fed with copepods enriched water spinach (11.28±0.38%) and the highest survival
rate of P.monodon was obtained when being fed with copepods enriched Tetraselmis sp.
(91.67±0.29%). Proximate analysis composition for enriched copepods and P.monodon fed with
enriched copepods showed the water spinach produce highest protein and lipid content compared
to other enrichment. The current result showed that vegetable based are able to replace the
microalgae, hence it also can gave an advantages to the economy in aquaculture and higher
yields. |
