The effects of different diets on survival of marine oligochaetes worm (Oligochaeta: Tubificidae)
This experiment is designed to observe the suitability of different diets on survival rate of marine oligochates worm in laboratory scale using flowing water system. The oligochaetes worms were cultured in five different diet treatments (commercial pellet, seaweed, goat dung, soybean meal and com...

| description | This experiment is designed to observe the suitability of different diets on survival rate of
marine oligochates worm in laboratory scale using flowing water system. The oligochaetes worms were
cultured in five different diet treatments (commercial pellet, seaweed, goat dung, soybean meal and
combination diet) each having triplicates. The oligochaetes were cultured for 90 days. The highest
survival rate of oligochaetes culture were found significant (p < 0.001) in the combined diet containing
goat dung (20%), seaweed (Gracilaria sp.: 20%) and soybean meal (20%). Results of the present study
suggest that the combination diet is the best compared to single diet in order to obtain the maximum
survival rate of marine oligochaetes worm. The present finding is important in providing the baseline
data for marine oligochaetes culture. Further study might be extended in detail to investigate the
reproductive cycle since marine oligochaetes is highly potential in mass culture production. |
