Abstract

     The study was carried out to find the suitable feed and density for rearing eel fingerlings at 10-20 g/each Fish were reared in plastic tanks (125 L), still water and continuously aerated. Experiment 1, fish were fed with 3 types of food: minced fresh fish, fresh fish combined with commercial feed (powder form) and commercial feed. Experiment 2, fish were stocked at 3 densities: 300, 500 and 700 ind./m3. Each treatment was triplicated and each experiment within 3 months. Experimental results showed that fish fed commercial feed had the highest growth in weight, length and survival rate and had a significant difference (P<0.05) compared with the other two treatments. At the end of the experiment, fish weight was 17.9-24.7 g/each, DWG 0.07-0.15 g.d-1, SGR 0.47-0.85%.d-1 and survival rate 78.9- 87.8%. Weight growth and survival rate of eels tended to decrease with increasing stocking density (P<0.05). The weight of fish was 22.6, 19.3 and 16.6 g/each; DWG 0.06, 0.09 and 0.12 g.d-1, SGR 0.47, 0.61 and 0.85%.d-1 and survival 81.3, 83.9 and 91.7%, respectively in 3 experimental density. Rearing eels from size 10 g/each, it is recommended that to use commercial feed and stock at density of 300 ind./m3.
