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 |
This study assessed the use of extruded feeds, in the form of pellets, for the growing of echinoid Paracentrotus lividus within a closed-culture system. Two feed types, one with soya-bean protein, the other with both soya-bean and fish protein were compared with dried Lessonia sp. and fresh Laminaria sp., as food sources. Pellets present a very high conversion efficiency (about 80%) against about 50% for Laminaria and 35% for Lessonia. However, as pellets are less absorbed, somatic growth (SG) is statistically equivalent for the sea urchins fed with pellets and Laminaria between 2 and 2.2% g soma day-1. Sea urchins fed with pellets produced significantly more gonadal tissue in a shorter time, resulting in a gonadal index (GI) twice higher (6.5%) than Laminaria (3%) in the second month of the experiment. Dry Lessonia does not promote gonadal growth (GG). This study shows that extruded feeds are well assimilated by P. lividus and promote both SG and production of gonadal tissue. |
