Rearing of Fabrea salina Henneguy (Ciliophora, Heterotrichida) with three unicellular feeds

Résumé

The growth rate of the ciliate Fabrea salina was studied in batch cultures in the presence of three feeds, tested separately from each other: the Prymnesiophyceae, Isochrysis galbana obtained from pure culture, the Chlorophyceae Dunaliella salina, and the commercially available yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. F. salina, and D. salina were harvested below the surface from the first evaporation pond and the crystallizer pond, respectively in multi-pond salterns (Sfax, Tunisia). The highest density of Fabrea was recorded with I. galbana (26 ind ml−1). However, the greatest length (243 μm) was recorded with Fabrea fed with D. salina. The lowest density, length and biovolume values were recorded with Fabrea fed with S. cerevisiae. The ANOVA test showed that density (F = 18, d.f. = 57), length (F = 33, d.f. = 57), and biovolume (F = 19, d.f. = 57) of Fabrea fed with yeast were significantly different (p <0.001) from those when Fabrea was fed with D. salina and I. galbana. The ciliate Fabrea encountered in the Sfax saltern (Tunisia) might be a valuable food source for Tunisian marine fish hatcheries.
