Abstract:

The objective is to investigate the effects of different stocking densities on growth performance and ingestion behavior of Mastacembelus aculeatus. 310-day single-factor intensive test in cement pit was used to compare the growth performance and characteristics of Mastacembelus aculeatus at the initial density of 657.52 g/m3 (group A) and 1177.27 g/m3 (group B). The results showed a negative correlation between growth characteristics and stocking density, the weight gain rate (WGR), special growth rate (SGR), fatness and survival rate of group A were higher than those of group B, while the feed conversion rate (FCR) and yield per unit area were 13.82% and 30.77% lower than that of group B. The body length of group A and B were power function related to body weight, and the relationship was W=0.0028L3.041 and W=0.0049L2.953 respectively, which indicated that they had equal growth rate. The body length and body weight were correlated with breeding days by multiple function, which were L=-8×10-5d2+0.07758d+13.059, W=-2×10-6d3+0.0011d2+0.1369d+7.2355 in group A, L=-6×10-5d2+0.062d+12.379, W=-2×10-6d3+0.001d2+0.1031d+6.8031 in group B. The condition was suitable for large-scale production of Mastacembelus aculeatus. We should refine the stocking density and find the relationship between the best yield and feed utilization, to obtain the highest benefit.
