The starvation period beyond which post-larvae could not recover was different between the two batches. In culture I, post-larvae fed on and after Day 4 suffered reduced growth and survival rates. In contrast, culture II post-larvae fed before Day 8 showed no large effect of starvation on survival and growth. The energy sources for veliger larvae are considered to be a yolk reserve derived from the egg and DOM absorbed from seawater. 2–4 The different results in the starvation tolerance observed in the two batches could be caused by difference in quality of larvae such as yolk reserves, and/or difference in the DOM concentration of the natural seawater used for the rearing of swimming larvae. Further research is needed on the egg quality and DOM concentration affecting post-larval survival and growth. The initial growth without particulate food observed in this study was also reported for H. rufescens5, 12 and H. iris. 13 The visible yolk area of newly metamorphosed H. iris was greatly reduced during extended post-larval starvation (Roberts R, pers. comm., 1998). In this study, much of the visible yolk had disappeared after 10 days of starvation. Thus, normal development up to 400µm SL without feeding could be supported by the yolk supply. Post-larval H. discus discus show massive mortality by the size of 500µm SL when they lack food in hatcheries. 8 Under experimental conditions, H. discus hannailess than 500µm SL died when fed an unsuitable food source. 14 From these previous findings and the results of this study, higher mortality was observed in culture I; individuals fed from Day 4 showed more than 50% mortality at the end of rearing (Day 19). All individuals fed from Day 9 died before Day 14. In contrast, for the post-larvae of culture II, even individuals fed from Day 5 showed active feeding behavior, and about 80% of them survived to the end of the experiment (Day 18). The survival rate of the post-larvae fed from Day 8 showed 39.0±10.3%(mean±SE) at the end of the experiment. The individuals fed from Day 12 showed high mortality rates after Day 13, and all died by Day 18.Post-larvae kept without food grew up to~ 400µm from 280–300µm SL (larval shell length) during 4–5 days from Day 0 (Fig. 2). The post-larvae fed from Day 4 and 6 of culture I showed significantly lower growth rates than that of the control (fed from Day 0)(Fig. 2; Tukey-Kramer HSD-test, P< 0.05). Individuals fed from Day 9 did not grow significantly after food was provided (anova, P> 0.05). Individuals of culture II fed from Day 1 showed a comparable growth rate with that of the control (Tukey-Kramer HSD-test, P> 0.05). Although individuals fed from Day 3 or 5 showed significantly lower growth rates than that of the control during initial periods of the experiment (Tukey-Kramer HSD-test, P< 0.05), they were able to recover and reach 600µm SL within 11 days after food was first given. Post-larvae fed from Day 8 were also able to start growing after food was provided, but their growth rates were significantly lower than those of individuals fed from Day 1, 3, and 5 (Tukey-Kramer HSD-test, P< 0.05). Individuals fed from
