Abstract
This paper describes an indoor feeding experiment with grass carp larvae. It was intended to identify rates of survival and growth of newly hatched larvae in a hatchery using dry feed only until they reached a size which allowed stocking in growing ponds without additional nursing. The larvae fed on Alkan yeast reached a mean total length of 10.3 mm with negligible mortality rates within a feeding period of 1 week. Problems concerning optimal feeding with dry feed and optimal stocking densities in rearing tanks are briefly discussed.
