Effects of cycled starvation feeding regimes and gender on growth performance and cost analysis of guppy (Poecilia reticulata)
Abstract
Guppy (Poecilia reticulata) is an ornamental fish species which
regular feeding has often been applied even it cannot be done on most days for
its feeding, in practice. In this study, effects of cycled starvation feeding
regimes and gender on growth of guppy were investigated. The study was carried out with three
replicates with male and female groups. Female guppies with mean weight of
0.129±0.025 g and mean total lenght of 2.39±0.20 cm and male guppies with mean
weight of 0.122±0.019 g and mean total lenght of 2.39±0.14 cm were placed to
each aquarium with 30 ind./50 L stocking density. In the
experiment, female (D) and male (E) guppies were formed in separate groups,
these groups were fed with once a day (K), every other day (AT) and other two
days (AAT) starvation cycles. Fish were fed at satiation with flake feeds. Growth and development of fish were
measured at every 15 days (weight and total lenght) during 16 weeks. The best
weight gain was shown in female control group (KD) while lower in ATD than the
KD group and equal weight gain was observed in the AATD, KE, ATE and AATE
groups (P<0.05). A significant difference was not appeared between mean
total lenghts (P>0.05). The best total lenght gain was shown in KD and KE
groups, and also mean total length values of other groups are
close to each other. As a result of cost analysis, the most profitable feeding
has been stated on KD group. In conclusion, at least once a day feeding is
recommended for commercial guppy feeding.

Farklı açlık tokluk besleme döngülerinin lepistes (Poecilia reticulata) balıklarında cinsiyete göre büyüme performansı ve maliyet üzerine etkileri
Abstract
Lepistes (Poecilia reticulata),
pratikte çoğu zaman düzenli beslemenin uygulanmadığı hatta çoğu günler
beslemenin bile yapılmadığı görülen bir süs balığı türüdür. Bu çalışmada,
farklı açlık tokluk beslenme döngülerinin lepistes balıklarında cinsiyete göre
büyüme ve gelişme üzerine etkileri araştırılmıştır. Çalışma dişi ve erkek
bireylerde 3 tekrarlı olarak yürütülmüştür. Başlangıçta ortalama ağırlıkları ve
total boyları 0,129±0,025 g ve 2,39±0,20 cm olan dişi ve 0,122±0,019 ve
2,39±0,14 cm olan erkek bireyler 30/50L stok yoğunluğunda kullanılmıştır.
Denemede dişi (D) ve erkekler (E) ile ayrı deneme grupları oluşturularak, bu
gruplar günde bir (K), bir gün aç bir gün tok (AT) ve iki gün aç bir gün tok
(AAT) olarak beslenmişlerdir. Besleme doyana kadar pul yem ile yapılmıştır.
Balıklarda büyüme ve gelişim 15 günde bir örnekleme (ağırlık ve total boy) ile
16 hafta boyunca takip edilmiştir. Çalışma sonunda en iyi ağırlık artışı dişi
kontrol (KD) grubunda görülürken ATD grubu dişi bireylerde daha az ve AATD, KE,
ATE ve AATE gruplarında ise eşit ağırlık artışları görülmüştür (P<0,05).
Total boylar arasında anlamlı bir fark görülmese de (P>0,05) en iyi total
boy artışı KD ve KE gruplarında görülmüştür, diğer grupların total boy
değerleri birbirlerine yakındır. Maliyet analizleri sonucunda ise en karlı
besleme KD grubunda saptanmıştır. Sonuç olarak lepisteslerin ticari
besiciliğinde en azından günde bir kez beslenmeleri önerilmiştir.
