| description | Corbicula fluminea clam is one of the most popular food ingredients and nutritional supplements in Taiwan. Increasing the
biomass of the clam by culturing it with a proper diet is necessary. For the potential of food availability of the C. fluminea
clam, growth and survival were studied by rearing five species of live microalgal diets for eight weeks. The results revealed
that the clams fed on C. pyrenoidosa, O. multisporus and C. cryptica showed outstanding results in shell growth and live
weight gain. The maximum percentage of clam growth rate, which was measured by shell length, live weight gain and survival
rate were found when fed on C. pyrenoidosa, O. multisporus and C. cryptica, respectively. However, the clams had a negative
live weight gain when fed on S. acutus and C. microporum, due to the inappropriate size of the diets. The most significant
protein content in clam tissue was shown when fed on C. pyrenoidosa (58.34%), and C. cryptica stimulated the highest lipid
content in clam tissue (25.06%). Therefore, it suggested that the most suitable live microalgal foods are C. pyrenoidosa, O.
multisporus and C. cryptica, for which useful algae and non-toxic species were selected to support C. fluminea growth. |
