World Aquaculture - June 2024

26 JUNE 2024 • WORLD AQUACULTURE • WWW.WAS.ORG answer lies in the fact that while such enrichments are designed to meet the nutritional needs of specific species, they may not be customized for pikeperch larvae. This could potentially lead to overfeeding or supplying unnecessary nutrients, which could have adverse long-term effects. And, ultimately, the goal is to minimize rearing costs and establish economically sustainable husbandry protocols. Upon close examination, the differences in results between the Chlorella treatment and Spresso over the short term (21 days) are minimal, making the use of Chlorella as an enrichment both economically and environmentally more sustainable. These findings suggest that incorporating C. vulgaris into live feed during the pikeperch larval stage enhances stress resilience and could potentially replace the need for more expensive commercial enrichment diets. Further studies investigating the long-term effects of such enrichments are necessary to evaluate their viability.
