Abstract
Tubificids are aquatic oligochaete worms distributed all over the world. The worms are very important as they are used as live food for cultured fish and aquatic invertebrates. This study was carried out to determine the effect of culture space on the production of tubificid worms. The worms were cultured in three different treatments namely treatment-I(40 000 cm3) treatment-II(96 000cm3)and treatment-III (152 000cm3) under flow-through conditions. The experiment was continued for 90 days using a culture medium containing a mixture of 20 mustard oil cake 20 wheat bran 30 soybean meal 20 cow-dung and 10 sand soaked with rice gruel. The observed highest yield (P0.05) of 1 662.1628.32 mg.cm-2 was found after70days of culture in treatment-III. Only about 0.80kg media ingredients valued at US0.24were needed to produce 1 kg worms.
