Abstract

During the experimental rearing period of common carp in a small simple recirculating aquarium combined with frequent exchanges of water and cleanings, some observations were made on the conditions of fish growing which was directly and instantly affected by the cleaning frequency of strainer, changing rate of water, division and frequency of feed supply, prohibition of excess feeding and the amount of dissolved oxygen. The fish don't seem to be stressed by the manipulation for the change of rearing water, cleaning of detritus in the strainer and filter. It appeared that the most hazzardous matters to fish growth were : 1) supplying feed when fish do not show active response to feed supplied, and 2) giving ample amount of feed at one time. When especially the amount of the feed is within the range fish instantly can swallow, the water clarity is maintained even after feeding operation, but if any excess amount is given the fish intake into mouth much more feed than able to instantly swallow and try to swallow it resulting in much dissolving and suspension of feed materials in water, making the water quite cloudy. Consequently all the water as well as filter bed becomes significantly polluted.

전성장실험기간을 통하여 잉어의 먹이 섭취와 성장 및 사료효율은 스트레이너의 지소회수, 오탁된 사육수의 교환정도, 먹이의 분할공급의 회수, 적량내의 먹이 공급 및 용존산소량에 직접적이고 직각적인 반응을 나타내었다. 그러나 지소나, 물 교환을 위한 취급에는 별로 영향을 받지 않는 것으로 보였다. 특히 해로운 점은 식욕이 왕성하지 못할 때 먹이를 주는 일과 일시에 과량의 먹이는 주는 것이었다. 특히 직각적으로 삼킬 수 있는 량을 주면 물에 녹아나는 것이 거의 없고, 먹이를 준 후에도 물이 투명하지만, 그 이상의 먹이를 주면 식욕이 왕성할 때는 입속에 여분의 먹이를 머금고 삼킬 노력을 함으로써 녹아서 물에 흩어져 나오는 량이 많고, 먹이를 준 후 물이 혼탁해 진다. 그리하여, 여과조를 포함한 사육수질을 악화시키고, 성장이 불량해지고, 또 사료의 효율을 심하게 저하시킨다.
