The effect of various rearing tank designs and diet on the occurrence of cannibalism and overall survival and growth of postlarval Pacific threadfin (Polydactylus sexfilis) was examined in a series of large-scale rearing trials at The Oceanic Institute (OI) and the State of Hawaii's Anuenue Fisheries Research Center (AFRC), Oahu, Hawaii. Twenty-six day old (D26) postlarval threadfin were stocked in either 5 m3or 9.5 m3round tanks, 8.5 m3doughnut-shaped circular tanks, or 1.2 m3shallow, oval raceways at densities from 0.5–4.4 fish 1−1. The fish were fed either commercial (RAN, MCM) or experimental (RNB, OIM) feed to satiation until D40 (Nursery I). Nursery II (D40–D61) trials were conducted at AFRC in either 9.5 or 17.0 m3round or 8.5 or 15.0 m3doughnut tanks using RNB, OIM or MCM diets. Nursery I survival rates ranged from 40–97%, and were highly dependent on diet and rearing system. Cannibalism rates were inversely correlated with survival rates. Overall survival of fish was highest when fed OIM (88 ± 7%), compared to those fed MCM (74 ± 12%), RAN (63 ± 15%), or RNB (57 ± 5%). Survival was also best when fish were raised in oval raceways (86 ± 8%), rather than in doughnut (70 ± 4%) or round (65 ± 13%) tanks. Use of oval raceways also minimized the effects of poor diet performance on both survival and growth. Overall growth and feed conversion ratio (FCR) was best on the OIM feed. In contrast, survival during Nursery II was independent of rearing system and diet. Overall survival averaged 91 ± 5%, and cannibalism was commensurately low (6 ± 5%). Fish grew an average 10.6 ± 0.5% body weight daily, at an FCR of 0.9 ± 0.1. Shortened and flared operculae were common among postlarval threadfin. Deformities increased from Nursery I to Nursery II. However, there was no correlation with diet during either stage. Results indicated that mortalities due to cannibalism are most prevalent during the Nursery I stage, but can be greatly reduced with the proper diet and rearing system. Given optimum conditions, survival rates of 90% or greater can be achieved in Nursery I and II stages. Growth rates in excess of 20% body weight daily (bwd) in Nursery I, and 10% bwd in Nursery II can be obtained at FCR approximating unity on pelleted feeds. Large-scale, intensive production of juvenile threadfin can be achieved.
