Abstract

In this study, it was investigated to fighting methods with the large number of pathogenic microorganisms which transferred the larval production from brood stock, and effect of the glutaraldehyde (Merck, 25%) that was used as a disinfectant to red porgy (Pagrus pagrus L., 1758) embryological development, the hatching rate and the bacterial flora were searched. The eggs were disinfected with 200 ppm glutaraldehyde; 2, 4, 8, 16 min. at four different contact times. The daily hatching rate and embryological development were determined with 3 triplicates for every treatment, and bacteria colonies were counted by Petrifilm Flora Total (Laboratoire 3M Sante, France) agar planting, as well. At the same time the control groups were established at triplicate and were made the comparisons. The control groups (without treatment) were included in all trials. In this study, it is found that the optimum CT treatment is 1600 for red porgy eggs at 18ºC. In all 1600 CT treatments the bacterial growth were inhibited. In all 3200 KS treatments the hatching rates were decreased and hatching time was delayed. After CT=1600 values it was observed some morphological problems after 8 blastomer stages. Considering the C*T values change with the species and the temperature, it is very important the determination of the disinfection procedures for different species on aquaculture. 

Key Words: Glutaraldehyde, Pagrus pagrus eggs, disinfection, embryological development, survival rate.
