Abstract
To investigate the cause of the mass mortality during rockbream, Oplegnathus fasciatus seed production, the water quality and bacterial counts of sea water in breeding tanks was measured 20days post the hatch. During breeding of rockbream fry, the environmental factors of water quality were detected as pH, ammonia COD, phosphate at the supply of the food organisms and the seawater. pH was decreased from the 8.21 of the 1 day per hatch (dph) to 7.56 of the on the 7 dph. Ammonia was conversely increased 0.49 ppm of the 1 dph to 0.85 ppm of 10 dph. As the adding of the chlorella and the rotifer tanks, COD was increased the 3.3 times and 1.2 times than those of pre-adding respectively. The phosphate and the ammonia were also increased 1.7 and 2.3 times, with adding the chlorella respectively, which exceeded the second grade for sea water evaluation level, 0.015 ppm and 0.1 ppm respectively. Water quality was not improved by PSB (Photosynthetic Bacteria) treatment, which increased the value of COD in 1.7 times, phosphate in 2.7 times and ammonia in 1.4 times. The number of the bacteria was also increased along the dph. According to the treatment of chlorella, the number of total bacteria increased in 1.4 times and those of Vibrio sp. 1.6 times. The lethal concentration of ammonia was investigated that over than 10 ppm could killed the fry of rockbream within 28 hrs, but 40% in 2 ppm.
