The effect of food competition on diet shifts and growth of silver and bighead carps

In situ study on effect of food competition on diet shifts and growth of silver and bighead carps in large biomanipulation fish pens in Meiliang Bay, Lake Taihu By Z. Ke, P. Xie and L. Guo Donghu Experimental Station of Lake Ecosystems, State Key Laboratory for Freshwater Ecology and Biotechnology of China, Institute of Hydrobiology, The Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan, China Summary Silver and bighead carps were cultured in large fish pens to reduce the risks of cyanobacterial bloom outbreaks in Meili- ang Bay, Lake Tauhu in 2004 and 2005. Diet compositions and growth rates of the carps were studied from April to November each year. Both carp species fed mainly on zooplankton (50% in diet) in 2004 when competition was low, but selected more phytoplankton in 2005 when compe- tition was high. Silver carp had a broader diet breadth than did bighead carp. Higher densities and fewer food resources increased diet breadths but decreased the diet overlap in both types of carps. It can be predicted that silver and bighead carps would be released from diet competition and shift to feed mainly on zooplankton at low densities, decreasing the efficiency of controlling cyanobacterial blooms. Conclusively, when silver and bighead carps are used to control cyanobac- terial blooms, a sufficiently high stocking density is very important for a successful practice. Introduction Silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) and bighead carp (Aristichthys nobilis) are two large-bodied planktivorous cyp- rinids that are intensively cultured in Asia. They comprise much of the carp aquaculture production in China (Liang et al., 1981). Food habits of silver and bighead carps and their effects on the plankton communities have been widely reported (Spataru, 1977; Cremer and Smitherman, 1980; Starling and Rocha, 1990). In general, bighead carp is considered an opportunist, feeding more on zooplankton, whereas silver carp feeds mainly on phytoplankton (Cremer and Smitherman, 1980; Chen, 1990). B
