Abstract
The influence of feed type and feed quantity during early life stages of Clarias gariepinus on the subsequent occurrence of ruptured intesti ne syndrome (RIS) was investigated. Feed type related to live and dry feed, whereas feed quantities were set at 1 and 3 times the optimum fe eding level of 8.4 g kg-0.8 day-1. Results indicate that feeding Artem ia nauplii or low levels of dry feed before week 4 will significantly decrease the subsequent occurrence of RIS.
