Bacterial Populations in the Gut of the Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) (255 words)
Bacterial Populations in the Gut of the Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix)
Young silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) were allowed to feed alternately on manure-silt (M–S) and algal (A) food sources for 1-h periods to determine the retention times and digestibility of those foods and the numbers and types of bacteria in them as they passed through the gut.
Food was retained in the gut for 4–5 h at 28.5°C. Feeding rates were similar for M–S and A, but the fish assimilated an average 52.4% of the organic matter in M-S and only 25.6% of the A mixture.
