| Abstract | The study "Feeding Feeding Behavior of Marble Goby (Oxyeleotris marmorata Bleeker 1852) Fingerlings Reared with Different Types of Prey" was conducted to determine the appropriate feeding strategy to live foods for marble goby fingerlings in aquaria at the University of Agriculture and Forestry, Hochiminh city, Vietnam. Prey ingestion of marble goby at different densities of rice field prawn (Macrobrachium lanchesteri), Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) fry as prey were determined. Marble goby fingerling selected prey by prey sizes and types. Foraging responses to different prey types were observed in this study. Light-dark regime and starvation had some effects on prey ingestion of marble goby. This study also primarily determined the prey searching cue and digestion rate of marble goby to different prey types. The strategy for nursing marble goby with live foods includes uses of small rice field prawns (≤ 10 mm) at a ratio of 1:20. Shallow water is preferred when using fish fry as prey. Long, thin and bottom living prey such as rice field prawns may be the preferred prey for marble goby fingerlings in deeper water. Prawn meal may be an attractant for making artificial goby feed. |
