Abstract  A net pen experiment was carried out to evaluate the effect of feeding frequency on growth ,feed utilization and nitrogen and phosphorus waste output of malabar grouper , Ep inephelus malabaricus . In the experiment , fish [initial body mass ( 137 ± 1) g] were fed raw fish feed at 5 feeding frequencies , including 4 meals per day (4.00 meal.d-1 ) , 2 meals per day (2.00 meal.d-1 ) , 1 meal per day (1.00 meal.d-1 ) , 1 meal every 2 days (0.50 meal.d-1) or 1 meal every 4 days (0.25 meal.d-1 ) . The results indicated that feed intake ( FI) , mass gain , feed conversion ratio ( FCR) , nitrogen waste output ( TNW) and phosphorus waste output ( TPW) increased , while nitrogen retention efficiency (NRE) and phosphorus retention efficiency (PRE) decreased with the increase of feeding frequency from 0.25 meal.d-1 to 1.00 meal.d-1. However , no significant changes were found in FI , mass gain , FCR ,NRE , PRE , TNW and TPW ,when feeding frequency was further increased from 1.00 meal.d-1 to 4.00meal.d-1 . There were no significant differences in condition factor , hepatosomatic index and whole body composition among fish fed at different feeding frequencies . The results revealed that the suitable feeding frequency for malabar grouper fed raw fish feed should be at 1.00 meal.d-1 . Fed at 1.00 meal.d-1 for 109 days , mass gain of malabar grouper was 253 g , and FCR was 1.1 , and NRE was 22% , and PRE was 24% , and TNW was 108 g N.kg -1 fish production , and TPW was 24 g P.kg -1 fish production .

不同投喂频率对网箱养殖点带石斑鱼生长、食物利用及氮磷排放的影响

通过网箱养殖实验研究不同投喂频率对初始体质量为(137 ± 1) g 的点带石斑鱼生长,食物利用及饲料氮、磷排放的影响;实验分别按每天4 次(4.00 meal.d-1 ) 、每天2 次(2.00  meal.d-1) 、每天1次(1.00 meal.d-1 ) 、2 天1 次(0.50  meal.d-1 )和4 天1 次(0.25  meal.d-1 )的频率投喂冰鲜杂鱼.结果表明:将投喂频率从0.25  meal.d-1增加到1.00  meal.d-1 ,鱼摄食率,增质量,饲料系数和饲料氮、磷排放量升高,但饲料氮、磷储积效率下降;将投喂频率从1.00  meal.d-1增加到4.00  meal.d-1 ,鱼摄食率,增质量,饲料氮、磷储积效率和排放量无显著变化;改变投喂频率对条件系数、肝质量指数和鱼体组成无显著影响;本试验结果显示投喂杂鱼饲养点带石斑鱼适宜的投喂频率为1.00  meal.d-1 ,在此投喂频率下,经过109 d 生长后增质量可达253 g , 饲料系数为1.1 ,饲料氮、磷储积效率分别为22% 和24% ,每kg 鱼产量饲料氮、磷废物排放量分别为108 g 和24 g .
