Growth and energy requirements of captive Great Blue Herons (Ardea Herodias)
… due to rancidity of the herring. A continuous feeding trial was used to determine the energy requirements of 12 hand-reared Great Blue Heron chicks. Male (n=8) and female (n=4) chicks did not differ in their hatching mass, but, by day 30 the mass of male chicks was significantly greater than …

Practical diet formulation for common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and walking catfish (Clarias macrocephalus) larvae in Thailand
… the larval mouth size between 13-18 days of age. Feeding trials were conducted using many combinations of available ingredients and performance of the larvae was based upon food acceptance, survival, and growth in length. Four diets: a moist and a dry diet of the experimental diets that had given …

Uptake and depuration of cyanotoxins in the common blue mussel Mytilus edulis.
… in the common blue mussel Mytilus edulis, three feeding trials were performed. During these, mussels were exposed to two cyanobacteria strains - Nodularia spumigena KAC66 and Microcystis aeruginosa PCC 7813 - both individually and simultaneously. A rapid dose-dependent accumulation of cyanotoxins …
