Wolnicki, J. and Kaminski, R. and Myszkowski, L. (2003) Survival, growth, and condition of tench Tinca tinca (L.) larvae fed live food for 12, 18 or 24 h a day under controlled conditions. J. Appl. Ichthyol., pp. 146-148
Species | Development state | Trait | Primary Data | Secondary Data |
Tinca tinca | Larvae | Temperature during larval development | Water temperature during sotcking was 22°C, then gradually increased immediatly after stocking, reaching 28°C within 48 h | 22.0 °C |
Tinca tinca | Larvae | Sibling intracohort cannibalism | Unlike typical predatory fish such as northern pike Esox lucius that require, in order to avoid cannibalism, almost continuous intensive feeding throughout the rearing period, 24 h feeding or larval cyrpinids is generally not necessary | Present |
Tinca tinca | Larvae | Onset of exogeneous feeding | The feeding was begun on day 6 after hatching when larval total length (TL +/-SD) averaged 4.53 +/- 0.16 mm | 4.53 °C * day |
