Effects of Feeding Frequency on Grwoth, Feed Efficiency and Body Composition of Juvenile Korean Rockfish (Sebastes schlegeli)

배합사료 급여 횟수가 조피볼락의 성장, 사료효율 및 체성분에 미치는 영향

A 15-week feeding experiment was conducted to determine the effects of feeding frequency from 2 different formulated diets on growth, feed efficiency and body composition in juvenile Korean rockfish (Sebastes schlegeli). Duplicate groups of the 30 fish averaging 25 g were fed the control diet containing $58\%$ fish meal and the experimental diet containing $40\%$ fish meal, $10\%$ meat meal, $3\%$ corn gluten meal, $3\%$ soybean meal, and $3\%$ blood meal as protein sources at different feeding frequencies of 2 times daily, once a day in the morning or afternoon, once in 2 days, or given no food. Growth and feed efficiency of the fish were affected by diets (P<0.05), whereas these values were unaffected by feeding frequencies (P>0.05). Feed intake (${\%}$ of body wt.) of the fish fed once in 2 days was lower than that of the fish fed 2 times daily and once a day (P<0.05), Moisture, protein, lipid and ash contents of liver and muscle were not influenced by different diets and feeding frequencies (P>0.05). These results indicate that once a day or once in 2 days feeding regimen must be more effective and economical than that of 2 times daily for juvenile Korean rorkfish.

배합사료의 적정 급여 횟수를 조사하기 위해 사료조성이 다른 두 종류의 사료, 즉 어분이 $58\%$ 함유된 대조사료(D-1)와 어분을 육분, 콘글루텐밀, 대두박 및 혈분으로 $30\%$ 대체한 실험사료 (D-2)를 설계하고 d교 pellet 형태로 제조하여 각각 사료급여 횟수를 달리하여 사육실험하였다. 사료급여 횟수는 1일 2회(09 : 30, 16 : 00), 1일 오전 1회(09 : 30), 1일 오후 1회(16 : 00) 및 2일 1회(09 : 30)로 구분하였고, 절식 실험구도 설정하였다. 평균체중 25 g의 조피볼락 치어를 사료별, 사료급여 횟수별로 각각 2반복으로 배치된 실험수조(100 ${\ell}$ FRP)에 30마리씩 수용하여 15주간 사육실험한 결과, 성장율, 사료효율, 단백질효율, 어체성분 및 경제적인 면을 고려하여 1일 1회 또는 2일 1회 사료를 급여하는 것이 좋을 것으로 나타났다.
