Feeding procedures
It is known that when the amount fed to larvae is
insufficient (1) their development is retarded, (2) their
ecdyses become irregular, (3) their mortality increases,
and (4) substandard adults are yielded. Conversely,
when an excess of food is provided a kind of decomposition
results in the formation of scum on the
surface of the water.
If only scum formation could be prevented, an
ample supply of the diet would promote larval
growth. Consequently the following suggestions are
offered
