Abstract:
The influence of ayurvedic products on the growth,
survival and reproduction of Artemia parthenogenetica was
investigated. Ayurvedic products such as Withania somnifera (a), Mucuna
prurita (b) and Cinnamomum zeylanicum (c) in the ratios 1a:1b:1c,
1a:1b:2c and 2a:1b:1c respectively were used as supplemental feed along with
a control feed made out of rice bran and Bermuda powder (grass powder;
Arugampul: Cyanodon dactylon). At each combination the ayurvedic
products were given at five different concentrations such as 1.0, 2.0, 3.0,
4.0 and 5.0 g/l. Optimum concentrations and combinations are suggested.
