The clownfish (Amphiprion biaculeatus) is valued in the aquarium trade for its appearance and behavior, but transporting this species often results stress high mortality. This study investigated use of Melaleuca alternifolia Mentha piperita essential oils as calming agents during transport, analyzing their effects on fish survival water quality. Juvenile (0.213 g 2.36 cm) were divided into three groups: control (no oil), (20 µL/L) (500 µL/L). transported 96 h plastic containers with seawater...
Photoperiod is considered an environmental factor that influences reproduction and the growth processes of fish throughout year. In present study, we subjected dusky grouper Epinephelus marginatus to different photoperiods in order evaluate survival. Juvenile were randomly distributed twelve 100 L tanks containing four per aquarium. The exposed continuous light, normal photoperiod or darkness for 50 days. Fish fed 3% their total biomass, twice a day, diet consisted ground commercial dry...
