Bait and Ornamental Fish Nutrition

Small fish produced specifically for anglers to attract food or game fishes are referred to as “baitfish”. This reviewaddresses the nutrition and feeding practices for the three main species cultured in the U.S.: the golden shiner,Notemigonus crysoleucas, goldfish, Carassius auratus, and fathead min...

description Small fish produced specifically for anglers to attract food or game fishes are referred to as “baitfish”. This reviewaddresses the nutrition and feeding practices for the three main species cultured in the U.S.: the golden shiner,Notemigonus crysoleucas, goldfish, Carassius auratus, and fathead minnow, Pimephales promelas. Goldfish and“rosy red” fathead minnows may also be marketed as “feeder” fish for piscivorous pets, and goldfish can bemarketed as ornamental fish. In addition, fathead minnow is widely used as a toxicological and biomedical model.Multiple approaches are used to study nutrition in bait and ornamental fishes, as some spend most of their lives inponds with access to live and prepared foods, while others are confined to aquaria and totally dependent onprepared diets. The nutritional and economic considerations are different in these scenarios, and diets must bedeveloped and refined to address these diverse needs. Most of the research on bait and ornamental fishes hasfocused on macronutrients. Vitamin research has begun, but mineral nutrition is virtually unaddressed. In addition,research on feed additives (e.g., prebiotics and probiotics) that have the potential to enhance hardiness and prolongsurvival of bait and ornamental fishes throughout the production and marketing cycles has been initiated.
