| Abstract | ||
| The Eggs of A.parthenogenetica (from a local market in Baghdad) have been incubated, hatched and fed to Common carp larvae(mean weight 0.0206 gm) for 45 days on three different experimental diets (Treatments) which were:- (T1) Artemia nauplii only. (T2) A mixture of Artemia nauplii and artificial diet. (T3) Artificial diet only (35%soya bean:35% fish meal:20% starch:10% vitamins and minerals). The results showed that T3 had resulted the lowest growth rates whereas T1 showed highest survival rate (100%),highest growth rate (0.123gm/day), highest weight (4.219gm) and highest growth rate increase (1.844gm) and relative growth rate (1863%) during 45 days.However the highest specific growth rate (9.52%) was also resulted for T1 but during the first 2weeks of feeding experiment. It can be concluded the importance of using natural food (nauplii larva) during the first two weeks of feeding carp larva. The formulated feed cann't be used on it is own, it must be mixed with natural food. It is prefered to be included as a mix after a month of larva carp culture. | ||
