Issue Date: | 2024 | Journal: | New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research | Abstract: | Settlement induction potential of two red algae, Sahlingia subintegra and Rhodosorus marinus, and one green macroalgae, Ulvella leptochaete was examined to identify potential alternative algal species to improve reliability and reproducibility of Haliotis tuberculata sp. settlement. CCA was used as a positive control. Settlement rates, post-larval survival and growth of Haliotis tuberculata sp. were evaluated for different algal species tested. Results showed that Sahlingia subintegra induced significantly higher settlement rates (58.17 ± 12.71%) compared to CCA, Ulvella leptochaete and Rhodosorus marinus. In all treatments, post-larvae were weekly fed a mix of diatoms (Amphora sp., and Navicula incerta). At four weeks post settlement, post-larval survival rates were significantly higher on CCA and Sahlingia subintegra substrates compared to the other two algal species tested. However, at four and five weeks post settlement there were no significant differences in post-larval shell length and growth rates between CCA and Sahlingia subintegra substrates. These findings suggest that Sahlingia subintegra could be a promising alternative red macroalgae providing settlement cue for abalone hatchery stages, particularly for Haliotis tuberculata sp. and could contribute to improve abalone breeding techniques through the selection of alternative settlement substrates that could be easily managed in abalone farms environments. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/128856 | ISSN: | 0028-8330 | DOI: | 10.1080/00288330.2023.2297910 | Source: | New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research[ISSN 0028-8330], (Enero 2024) |
