Abstract

Moina micrura Kruz (Isolate no. AR001), a cladoceran and an important aquaculture feed, was cultured on Chlorella vulgaris Beijerinck (Isolate no. 001) grown in 10 and 20% digested palm oil mill effluent (POMED) and inorganic fertilizer (N:P:K = 1:1:0.50) in 70 l tanks. The collected microalgae was distributed to M. micrura twice daily at the rate of 3% dry body weight for 14 days. The specific growth rate of M. micrura was significantly higher (p<0.05) when fed on microalgae grown in 10% POMED than fed on the same cultured in 20% POMED and fertilizer. The protein and lipid contents were significantly higher (p<0.05) in M. micrura fed on microalgae grown in 10% POMED than in those fed on this microalgae cultured in other media. The essential amino acids such as histidine, arginine, threonine, phenylalanine, valine, methionine, lysine and tryptophan of C. vulgaris grown in 10% POMED enhanced the accumulation of these EAAs in M. micrura. The C18, C20 and C22 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) viz. linolenic acid (18:3n-3), ¡ linolenic acid (18:3n- 6), eicosatrienoic acid (20: 3n-6), arachidonic acid (20: 4n-6), EPA (20: 5n-3), DPA (22: 5n-3) and DHA (22: 6n-3) of C. vulgaris grown in 10% POMED enhanced the levels in M. micrura. The PUFAs were found significantly higher (p<0.05) in M. micrura fed on C. vulgaris cultured in 10% POMED followed by 20% POMED and only inorganic fertilizer. Most of the essential minerals were present in high amount in M. micrura fed on this algae gro…

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
