Abstract
One of the main problems in rearing carp in early stages of development is the technology of larvae and fingerling feeding in controlled conditions and the fabrication of appropriate starter diets to replace live zooplankton. Nutritionists from the domain of fishery have been working on this problem more than 40 years, but only with limited success. The first period in the development of starter diet for carps in early stages of development went on from 1970 until 1985. At first, feeding experiments were performed on juvenile fish and the results obtained were applied on larvae and fingerlings without success. Only in the mid 80’s, the feeding needs of larvae and fingerlings view were more fully understood in quantitative and qualitative. After learning more about the composition and function of digestive tract and supportive organs, and after numerous feeding experiments, the importance of live zooplankton before changing to full feed mixture diets was stressed out.
