TL;DR: Enriched Moina was the most suitable live food for the larval rearing of giant gourami based on growth performance and survival and the use of Spirulina powder, fish oil and baker’s yeast gave a significant increase in crude protein content compared to other enriched live food organisms.
Abstract: Assessment of growth performance, survival and body crude protein of giant gourami, Osphronemus goramy Lacépède 1801 larvae fed with different live food organisms was conducted to identify the most suitable live food for larval rearing. Growth performance (mean final weight and length) of giant gourami larvae was significantly highest in enriched Moina (55.3 ± 0.7 mg and 16.27 ± 0.29 mm), followed by unenriched Moina (41.0 ± 0.6 mg and 14.73 ± 0.17 mm), unenriched Panagrellus redivivus (Linnaeus 1767) (31.7 ± 0.3 mg and 10.47 ± 0.35 mm), unenriched Artemia (31.0 ± 0.3 mg and 12.20 ± 0.23 mm), enriched Artemia (31.0 ± 0.3 mg and 13.20 ± 0.61 mm), enriched P. redivivus (31.0 ± 0.3 mg and 10.53 ± 0.75 mm) and mixed-zooplankton (19.7 ± 0.9 mg and 8.87 ± 0.24 mm). Highest mean survival of giant gourami larvae was obtained in enriched Moina (96.95 ± 1.21 %) and the lowest mean survival rate was obtained in mixed-zooplankton (74.72 ± 1.47 %). Correlation analysis of crude protein content of live food organisms showed a positive linear effect on body crude protein content of giant gourami fry. Enriched Moina was the most suitable live food for the larval rearing of giant gourami based on growth performance and survival. The use of Spirulina powder, fish oil and baker’s yeast was adequate for the enrichment of Moina for it gave a significant increase in crude protein content compared to other enriched live food organisms.
TL;DR: The phylogenetic result showed that there exists a close relationship among those genus within Anabantoidei and all results in this study provided an important data set for phylogenetic and taxonomic analyses of Osphronemus species.
Abstract: The complete mitochondrial genome of Osphronemus goramy was sequenced and characterized in this study. It is 16,526 bp in length and contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and 1 non-coding control region (D-loop). The overall base composition of the heavy strand of O. goramy mtDNA is 29.64% A, 25.74% T, 30.11% C and 14.52% G. The phylogenetic result showed that there exists a close relationship among those genus within Anabantoidei. All results in this study provided an important data set for phylogenetic and taxonomic analyses of Osphronemus species.
