5 to 7 days' larve after hatching larvae mostly lived on copepod nauplii, copepodites and trochophore of Polychaeta in water of the earthen ponds, apart from feeding on particulate organic detritus. 孵化后5~7日龄仔鱼基本上依靠摄食土池水体中的桡足类无节幼体、桡足幼体和多毛类担轮幼体,但还摄食少量的颗粒有机碎屑。
A trochophore (/ˈtroʊkəˌfɔər, ˈtrɒ-, -koʊ-/; also spelled trocophore) is a type of free-swimming planktonic marine larva with several bands of cilia.
By moving their cilia rapidly, a water eddy is created. In this way they control the direction of their movement. Additionally, in this way they bring their food closer, in order to capture it more easily.
