Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
A series of experiments was conducted to evaluate different designs of tank recirculation systems which would give a better representative of survival, are easy to handle and maintain, and fit for small scale experimental set-up. The system developed (upwelling conical tank recirculation system) was further optimized to test the larval performance of the giant freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii de Man, taken from a broodstock fed with a diet containing low amounts of (n-3) HUFA. Dietary treatments used were Artemia enriched with coconut oil emulsion, E50 (a self-emulsifying oil containing 50% HUFA), and E50+20% Vitamin C. Results showed that survival would still be high but with low metamorphosis for the E50 fed treatment and a lower survival for the coconut oil fed treatment. The effect of Vitamin C on weight and stress resistance is clearly demonstrated. |
