RESEARCH ON NUTRITIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF (BARBONYMUS GONIONOTUS BLEEKER, 1850) IN SAIGON RIVER, THU DAU MOT CITY, BINH DUONG PROVINCE
Main Article Content
Abstract
The silver barb (Barbonymus gonionotus), a member of the family Cyprinidae in the order Cypriniformes, is an economically important fish species whose populations are in decline. An analysis of 104 specimens showed that the silver barb is omnivorous and plant-based. The relative length of the gut (RLG) ranged from 2.273 ± 0.209 to 3.010 ± 0.121, with an average of 2.805 ± 0.184, and increased with body weight. The relationship between length and weight was described by the equation Y = 8E – 0,6x3,1284. The food composition in the digestive tract of adult silver barb included five groups: crustaceans, worms, organic detritus and aquatic insects, and aquatic plants. Among them, aquatic plants (52,90%) got the highest rate, and it was the main food in the food spectrum. The results of the study are of great significance in providing information and necessary data for the exploration of artificial reproduction, farming, and more effective management of this fish species.
