The present study conducted rearing Iraq artimia Artemia parthenogentica brought from Diala province in postgraduate fish laboratory conditions, College of Agriculture, University of Baghdad, by using animal (Cow) manure at concentrations of 2,4 and 6 grams/liter with artificial diet, salty water (85% using sawah lake salt, located in Al-Muthana province). Stocking densities of artemia were 25 naupli/L. The results showed the best growth rate, number mature adult and survival rates were found in 4 grams Cow manure/L treatment. Adult was sexually matured on 12 days at a length of 3.65 mm and survival 95% for 6 grams Cow manure/L. A biomass of 17 grams of common carp fry (mean weight ranged 1-2 gm), Have been fed naupli and juvenile of artemia decapsulated cysts and artificial diet (treatments) adlibtum. Results showed that fry fed decapsulated artemia cysts treatment have the highest biomass (80.58 gm), growth rate (28.6 gm). The study concluded the possibility of using lived artemia and bad hatchary decapsulated cyts as a supplementary animal protein resource in feeds common carp fry. | ||
