[Method] The oosperm was obtained by artificial spawning and artificial insemination method, and hatched under laboratory condition. The indexes such as body weight, body length, length in front of anus and body height were measured to establish larvae growth model. [Result] When the water temperature was （20±1.5） ℃, the body length and body weight of newly hatched larvae were （10.28±0.05） mm and （7.79±0.08） mg, respectively. O. sima larvae begin to feed on the 4 th day after hatching, the initial feeding rate was 48%, the highest feeding rate was 100% on the 6 th d. The-point-of-no-return （PNR） was 13.5 d. In addition, it was also observed that the appearance time of PNR point of O. sima larvae was close to death time of completely starved group, being only 2 d, indicating that once O. sima larvae reached the PNR point, they would face death threats within short time. Therefore, various growth conditions for O. sima larvae should be satisfied to ensure full development of all organs, thereby reducing death and growth stagnation caused by adverse environment in early postembryonic stage. [Conclusion] The study provided theoretical basis for solving the problems in artificial breeding.展开更多

Artificial propagation ofpikeperch was performed at （15±2）℃. Yolk-sac absorption, oil globule absorption, larval growth and the first initial feeding rate were observed to analyze the early growth and to determine the PNR of pikeperch larvae. The total length of newly hatched （0 day after hatching, DAH） pikeperch larvae was （4.25±0.22） mm and the volume of the yolk-sac and the oil globule was （0.30±0.12）mm^3 and （5.14±2.28） 10-2 mm^3 respectively. The yolk-sac and the oil globule were exhausted at 11 DAH and 14 DAH, respectively. Pikeperch larvae began feeding at 8 DAH with an initial feeding rate about 10.0%. From 9 to 14 DAH, the initial feeding rate increased rapidly, and reached its highest （about 82.7%） at 14 DAH. It declined thereafter, 48.9% at 15 DAH and 35.6% at 16 DAH, thus the pikeperch larvae reached PNR by 15-16 DAH. The appropriate first feeding time for the pikeperch larvae is 11-12 DAH, when the initial feeding rate is higher than half of the maximum initial feeding rate.展开更多
