OVIEDO-MONTIEL, Harold DJ et al. Population growth of Macrothrix spinosa fed with Chlorella sp. Orinoquia [online]. 2019, vol.23, n.2, pp.79-86. ISSN 0121-3709. https://doi.org/10.22579/20112629.571.
Zooplankton is considered a food of great importance for fish larvae because of its excellent nutritional profile. The greatest difficulty in the culture of zooplankton, especially cladocerans, is the susceptibility to the food they consume, since deficiencies in the nutrients significantly influence their production. Therefore, the study of the food particle in optimal quantity and quality is necessary to potentiate production. In the Piscícola San Silvestre S.A, the effect of the food on the productive variables of the cladoceran Macrothrix spinosa with photoperiod 12:12 light: dark and constant aeration in 8 experimental units with volume of 2,5 liters was evaluated. The organisms, in initial density of 2 clad / mL, were fed with the microalga Chlorella sp, previously cultivated in two culture media: (T1) Chlorella sp. cultivated with Guillard’s F/2 and (T2) Chlorella sp. grown with Nutrifoliar®. The population parameters were determined: maximum density (Dm), instantaneous growth rate (K), doubling time (Td) and yield (R). The temperature was recorded daily (25,86±0,36 °C), pH (7,58±0,32) and OD (5,74±0,56 mg/L). The highest Dm was 27,38±0,08 org/mL in T1 (P>0,05). Higher K, lower Td and higher R were recorded in T1 (0,24±0,00, 2,84±0,04 days and 2,50±0,01 org/mL respectively) (P>0,05). The results suggest that M. spinosa fed with the microalga Chlorella sp. cultivated with Guillard’s F / 2, achieves better population performance in culture.
