为了研究不同盐度下尼罗罗非鱼(Oreochromis niloticus)、萨罗罗非鱼(Sarotherodon melanotheron)和以色列红罗非鱼(Israel red tilapia)幼鱼生长的影响,试验选择尼罗罗非鱼、萨罗罗非鱼和以色列红罗非鱼幼苗各150尾。初始平均体重分别...为了研究不同盐度下尼罗罗非鱼(Oreochromis niloticus)、萨罗罗非鱼(Sarotherodon melanotheron)和以色列红罗非鱼(Israel red tilapia)幼鱼生长的影响,试验选择尼罗罗非鱼、萨罗罗非鱼和以色列红罗非鱼幼苗各150尾。初始平均体重分别为(2.74±0.12)g、(2.69±0.10)g和(2.75±0.11)g。试验共设置5个盐度水平,分别为0‰、10‰、20‰、30‰、40‰。每种鱼每个盐度30尾,并设置3个平行小组。试验为期60 d。结果显示,终末体重和日均增重量以M0(1)组的最高,其生长速度显著的高于其它处理小组(P<0.05)。除处理M10(1)组外,其它均达到极显著水平(P<0.01)。M0(2)、M10(2)、M40(1)和M40(3)的生长速度则显著的慢于其它各个处理小组,其中经过对比,生长速度最快和生长速度最慢相比相差了4倍。成活率和肥满度以M0(2)、M10(2)、M20(2)、M30(2)和M40(2)相对显著高于其它几个处理小组(P<0.05)。在不同盐度梯度下,对3种鱼进行饲养,其终末体重、日均增重、成活率和肥满系数指标均存在显著性差异(P<0.05),说明盐度和罗非鱼品种对罗非鱼的生长速度、成活率和肥满度均有显著影响。在5种盐度下,萨罗罗非鱼的成活率高于以色列红罗非鱼和尼罗罗非鱼,萨罗罗非鱼的肥满系数显著高于尼罗罗非鱼和以色列红罗非鱼,以色列红罗非鱼与尼罗罗非鱼的肥满系数没有显著差异。该研究发现,尼罗罗非鱼和以色列红罗非鱼在低盐度水中生长快,萨罗罗非鱼在高盐度水中生长快。展开更多
