- Description
A supply of live phytoplankton of high nutritional value Is critical to culturing bivalve molluscs in commercial hatcheries and only a few microalgae species support high survival and growth rates of bivale larvae (Ukeles 1976; Webb & Chu 1983). In addition, some microalgae have been found to be favourable for growing the larvae of some bivalve but not for others. For example, a diet of tropical microalgae Isochrysis galbana produces rapid development and growth of the larvae of the surfclam Spisula solidissima (Walker. Hurley & Jupfer 1998), the blacklip pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera (Southgater. Beer. Duncan & Tamburri 2007), the scallop Nodipecten nodosus (Velasco & barros 2008) and the clam Venerupis pullastra (Fern?ndez-Reiriz, P?rez. Peteiro & Labarta 2011), but in turn promoted poor growth of the oysters Crassostrea rhizophorae and Crassostrea gigas (helm & Laing 1987).
