Several feeding experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary supplement of seaweed, fermented soybean and probiotics on the growth of juvenile sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus. After comparing the growth performance of sea cucumbers fed with Ulva fasciata, Gracilaria tenuistipitata and Laminaria japonica for 8 weeks, U. fasciata was selected as a major protein source. Four partial replacements of U. fasciata in feeds were then prepared by the inclusion of white fish meal, soybean meal, mixture of fish and soybean meal and fermented soybean (BioMax^®), respectively. The growth performance over a period of 8 weeks revealed that sea cucumbers fed with fermented soybean supplemental diet had significantly better weight gain (129.60 ± 0.14%), SGR (1.48 ± 0.01%) and FCR (2.93 ± 0.01) compared with individuals fed with other diets (p < .05). Moreover, the relative higher attractiveness of fermented soybean supplemental diet was shown in food choice experiments (pairwise comparison). Daily addition of 10⁹ CFU of probiotics mixture (Bacillus subtilis and Micrococcus luteus) in diet for 8 weeks could be suitable for the growth of sea cucumbers while sand was used as a substrate in tank bottom. The present study provided useful information for tank-based aquaculture of Apostichopus japonicus.

石莼、发酵大豆和益生菌膳食补充剂对刺参生长的影响

进行了多项饲养实验，以评估海藻、发酵大豆和益生菌的膳食补充剂对海参刺参幼鱼生长的影响。比较馈送海参的生长性能后石莼fasciata，江蓠蓠和海带 粳稻8周，ü。 筋膜被选为主要的蛋白质来源。U 的四个部分替换。 fasciata在进料然后通过包含白鱼粉，大豆粉，鱼和豆粕的混合物制备和发酵大豆（标美^®）， 分别。8 周的生长性能表明，与饲喂发酵大豆补充饲料的海参相比，饲喂发酵大豆补充饲料的海参具有显着更好的增重 (129.60 ± 0.14%)、SGR (1.48 ± 0.01%) 和 FCR (2.93 ± 0.01)其他饮食（p  < .05）。此外，在食物选择实验（成对比较）中显示了发酵大豆补充饮食的相对较高的吸引力。每天添加 10 ⁹  CFU 的益生菌混合物（枯草芽孢 杆菌和藤黄微 球菌）) 日粮 8 周可能适合海参的生长，而沙子用作罐底的基质。本研究为刺参鱼缸水产养殖提供了有用的信息。
