An Overview of live feeds production system design in Taiwan. In：W. Fulks and K. L. Main (eds.)

Abstract

Over five billion prawn and clam larvae and 150 million fish larvae were produced commercially in 1990 in Taiwan. The main live feeds used are microalgae (Skeletonema costatum, Isochrysis aff. galbana, Nannochloropsis oculata, Tetraselmis chuff, and Chlorella sp.), rotifers and natural plankton. In this paper, research efforts on the production and use of these live feeds in Taiwan are discussed and production facility designs and operating procedures are described.
