Evaluation of the Optimal Protein Required in Granulated Microdiets for Rockfish (Sebastes schlegeli) Larvae

Table 1

Feeding schedule showing ration, feeds, and frequency of feeding for rockfish larval from day 1 to 29 days after parturition.

Day after parturition (DAP)	Rotifer (number/mL)	Artemia nauplii (number/mL)	Amount of microdiet (#3) (g/time)	Amount of mixture of #3 and #4 microdiets at 1 : 1 (g/time)	Amount of microdiet (#4) (g/time)	Daily feeding frequency
1–5	12.00
6	6.00	6.00
7–9		12.00
10		4.00	0.02			8.00
11–14			0.04			12.00
15–20			0.20			12.00
21–23			0.47			12.00
24–27				0.50		12.00
28–29					0.58	12.00

Size of #3 and #4 microdiets were 0.31–0.48 and 0.48–0.63 μm, respectively.
