- Abstract
Keywords: cereal diets; nutritional programming; Ostreid bivalves; survival Substituting microalgae at no more than 50% by cereal flours has demonstrated to meet most of the nutritional requirements of marine bivalve spat and juveniles, including the oyster I Crassostrea corteziensis i (Mamat & Alfaro, [15]; Mazón-Suástegui et al., [18]). The survival of the organisms nursed with the rich-carbohydrate cornstarch diet Mc (92%) outperformed ( I p i < .05) the conventional microalgal diet M (87%) and wheat diet Mw (88%; Figure b). Cornstarch addition to oyster spat diet in the laboratory may have had the potential to enhance their capacity of carbohydrate assimilation, which allowed improving the physiological condition of adult oysters once under field conditions.
