飼育水温がカマキリ当歳魚の摂餌と成長に及ぼす影響

Effects of water temperature on feeding and growth of the catadromous fourspine sculpin, Rheopresbe kazika, reared in the laboratory

Effects of water temperature on feeding and growth of the 0-year-old catadromous fourspine sculpin Rheopresbe kazika were studied using 8 different temperatures from 12 to 26℃ for 60 days. At each of the 8 temperatures, 20 fish were reared in aquaria. In the ranges of 16 to 24℃ and 22 to 26℃ the daily growth rate and daily feeding rate, respectively, were higher than the others. Also, the optimal water temperatures were calculated 19.6℃ for daily growth rate and 25.5℃ for daily feeding rate. The optimal water temperature for daily growth rate was lower than that for daily feeding rate. While, feeding efficiency were showed high values in the range from 12 to 22℃. These results indicate that the optimal water temperature range is from 16 to 22℃, and that a water temperature of 12℃ is too low and above 24℃ is too high for sustainable growth during culture of R.kazika.
