Artificial diet of pearl oyster spat FISHERIES SCIENCE 695 of microcapsules at 5¥ 103 and 2¥ 104 particles/mL per day to the low-density algal diets produced a significant (P< 0.01) improvement in the growth of pearl oyster spat. However, the high-density supplementation of gelatin–acacia microcapsules (1¥ 105 particles/mL per day) inhibited the growth of the pearl oyster spat.These results show that supplementing the lowdensity algal diet with gelatin–acacia microcapsules enhances the growth of the pearl oyster spat. Numaguchi and Nell have obtained similar results for the growth rate of Sydney rock oyster larvae that were fed gelatin–acacia microcapsules with a low-density algal diet. 14 In their experiment, the gelatin–acacia microcapsules contained cod liver oil, which is rich in unsaturated fatty acids (C22: 6n3 and C20: 5n3). 14 It has been demonstrated previously that longchain unsaturated fatty acids are very important essential fatty acids for the growth of oyster larvae and spat. 5, 15, 16 The results of the present study indicate that pearl oyster spat also require unsaturated fatty acids for their growth. However, it was observed that excess gelatin–acacia microcapsules inhibited the growth of the pearl oyster spat. It is thought that high concentrations of gelatin–acacia microcapsules may inhibit ingestion by the pearl
