Abstract
The dietary value and fatty acids composition for the hatched neonates from the resting eggs of marine roofers, Brachionus plicatilis and B. rotundiformis were compared with that for mass-cultured rotifers (control) by feeding them to larvae of flounder (Paralichthy olivaceus) and parrot fish (Oplegnathus fasciatus). Resting eggs were mass-produced in $1~4m^3$tanks by feeding Chlorella sp. and baker's yeast. The B. plicatilis and B. rotundiformis eggs were preserved at $5^{\circ}C$ in darkness for 3 and 5 months, respectively, and hatched at $28^{\circ}C$ under continuous light. The hatched neonates from the resting eggs and mass-cultured rotifer, which was used as a rontrol were fed to fish larvaes. The growth and survival rates of parrot fish larvae fed on the neonates from the resting eggs of B. rotundiformis were similar to those of fish larvae fed on the control rotifer. And the growth and survival rates of the flounder larvae with neonates from the resting eggs of B. plicatilis were similar or higher than those fed the control rotifer. Also the fatty acids composition of the neonates from the resting eggs of B. plicatilis and B. rotundiformis were similar to those from the control rotifers. This results showed that the hatched neonates from resting eggs of rotifer could be used as an effective diet for flounder and parrot fish larvae.
넙치(Paralichthy olivaceus) 및 돌돔 (Oplegnathusfasciatus) 자어를 대상으로 각각 B.plicatilis와 B.rotundiformis의 내구란에서 갓 부화한 rotifer의 먹이효율과 지방산 조성을 대량배양한 rotifer와 비교 조사하였다. Rotifer 내구란은 Chlorella와 빵 효모를 먹이로 공급하여 $1~4m^3$에서 생산하였다. B.plicatilis와 B.rotundiformis 내구란은 $5^{\circ}C$ 암내장 상태에서 각각 3개월과 5개월 동안 보관하여 $28^{\circ}C$ 연속 조명하에서 부화시켰다. 내구란에서 갓 부화한 rotifer와 대량 배양한 rotifer(대조구)를 자어에게 공급하였다. B.rotundiformis 내구란에서 갓 부화한 rotifer를 공급한 돌돔자어의 성장과 생존률은 대조구와 비슷하였게 나타났고, B.plicatilis 내구란에서 갓 부화한 rotifer를 먹은 넙치자어의성장과 생존률은 각각 대조구에 비해 비슷하거나 높게 나타났다. 또한 내구란에서 갓 부화한 rotifer의 지방산조성은 대조구와 비슷하게 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과를 볼 때 내구란에서 갓 부화한 rotifer는 넙치 및 돌돔 자어의 먹이로서 이용 가능하다고 판단된다.
