杂色鲍种苗用试验配合饵料

A formulated feed prepared from animal protein such as fresh egg, fish meal, etc., that can withstand long period of storage has been proved to be superior to natural algal food (Ulva sp.) for rearing abalone seed spats. Comparison of the growth rate of abalone seed spats (length. 1-1.5cm) fed with Ulva sp. and with formulated feed show that within 60 days, the rate of increase in body length and body weight of abalone seed spats given formulated feed was 16% and 23.8% respectively over those fed with Ulva sp.
