ABSTRACT

The effect of using live zooplankton in the hatchery for the survival and growth of hatchery-reared vimba bream in the wild was examined. A hypothesis that the fish fed on live zooplankton (LFG) during rearing would reach greater survival and faster growth rates in the wild than fodder-fed fish (PFG) was assumed. In the hatchery, from the first week of rearing the LFG achieved higher values of the length than the PFG. After the capture of the fish from the stream, the mean survival rate of the LGF (9.6%) was higher than those from the PFG (3.2%). The results of this study show that the live food given for hatchery-reared vimba bream affect their higher survival rate in the wild.

Key words: foraging skills, cyprinids, larvae rearing, fish restitution.
