摘要

Abstract

Breeding and mass scale larval rearing of clownfish Amphiprion percula is very limited in brackishwater. We designed an indoor program of A. percula culture in brackishwater with a salinity of 24±1

during which the impacts of feed type

water temperature

and light intensity

on the efficiency of its reproduction

were revealed. The fish were accommodated along with sea anemones in fibre glass tanks to determine the influence of brooder diet on breeding efficiency. Higher reproductive efficiency [number of eggs laid (276 ± 22.3 eggs)] was observed when fish were fed live Acetes sp. rather than clam (204 ± 16.4 eggs)

trash fish (155 ± 12 eggs) and formulated feed (110 ± 10 eggs). The spawning rate was increased during September and October (water temperature

28.74 ± 0.55°C) on average of 2.4 spawning per month; and low spawning rate was in January (water temperature

24.55 ± 0.45°C) on average of 1 spawning per month. Among three light intensities (100

500

and 900 lx) set to evaluate larval survival rate

larvae showed the highest survival rate (65.5%) at 900 lx. The breeding method specifically in brackishwater developed in the present study is a new approach

will help the people from the regions of estuary and backwater to enhance their livelihood and it will lead to reduce the exploitation from the wild habitat.
