Marble Goby Growth Rate

This research used experimental method there are three treatments feeding living.

Marble goby growth rate.

This curve illustrates the rate of growth. Research on domestication of marble goby oxyeleotris marmorata bleeker 1852 has been conducted from september 2014 until march 2015 at research station faculty of fisheries and marine science padjadjaran university the aim of the research is to find out optimum feed rate that produce highest growth. It is important to understand appropriate feeding strategies for marble goby during fingerling stages. It generally prefers areas of little or no water movement.

I always throw a few sinking pellets in some hiding spots but i never know if he eats them. He spends most of his time under a rock which after some research i found out was normal. Introduction sand goby oxyekotris marmoratus bleeker is the largest member of the goby family smith 1945. Growth curve is obtained when either length or weight of a fish is plotted against time periods.

Occurs in various biotopes including rivers ponds swamps and flooded forests. Marble goby oxyeleotris marmorata bleeker a profitable aquaculture species was cultured in partitioned tanks treated with a water recirculating aquaponic system ras the influence of tank design with partitions and pvc tubes of different sizes and feed type live food and minced fish on the fish growth and waste production was investigated. I have not dropped any minnows in and have been feeding cichlid pellets to my other fish. A total of 147 300 juvenile fish was produced in the l year effort.

Marmorata still remains a challenge. One of the largest goby species in the world. Hes still around after all this time so im assuming hes eating. In thailand it has been domesticated and cultured.

Better survival rate and growth rate than larvae fed with artificial feed cheah et al 1994. It is known for slow growth rate and high market demand.

Oxyeleotris marmorata is an ambush predator. The curve obtained is sigmoid or s shaped. If rate of growth is plotted against time such curve is known as growth rate curve fig.
