Growth and survival of goldfish larvae, (Carassius auratus) L.fed with live and artificial feeds.

One week old goldfish larvae (12mg in weight) were studied in 12 aquarium tanks at a stocking density one larva per litre to determine the suitabilities of Artemia naulii,Moina,Egg custard and a commercial feed as their diet. At the end of the 8 weeks study,the mean weight of fry fed on Artemia ,Moi...
