Abstract
Nine culture media, such as Walnes, PM, SEAFDEC, TMRL, Suto, Miquels, Guillard f, f12 and fl4 have been used to find out suitable media for successful culture of Skeletonema costatum which are widely used as larval food of prawns. Among the tested media, Walnes has given best multiplication (14.5 lakhs cells ml-I) of this species under laboratory conditions. The study revealed that the culture has to be harvested on 3rd to 4th day in media Walnes, Guillard f, TMRL, PM, SEAFDEC and Miquels whereas algae in the media of Suto, Guillard fl2 and Guillard f14 can be harvested on 2nd to 3rd day of culture after inoculation. The availability of nutrients such as nitrate, phosphate, iron and silicate is essential for the production of this species, and their appropriate proportions are required in the culture media to escalate the maximum cell multiplication. To keep the starter culture in good condition, Skeletonema culture is needed to be reinoculated on every 3rd day of its culture.
