Proper nutrition in early life cycle of the bullfrog is needed for optimum performance the production of frogs.The weight gain and protein deposition results suggest the use of a diet containing 27.7% digestible protein for tadpoles.LRP described requirements of digestible protein for bullfrog tadpoles...
spending most of their time grazing on bottom substrate, whereas others float and feed in midwater or hang at thewater surface.Specific gravityis controlled by the amount of air in the lungs; tadpoles that are prevented from gulping air sink to the bottom of experimental chambers and are unabl...
Population growth rates were most sensitive to the proportion of tadpoles entering the fast-track option of the larval life-cycle and to early post-metamorphic survival rates.; This study adds to previous published studies that have documented negative effects of bullfrogs on native species. I ...
LIFE cycles (Biology)STATISTICAL correlationMetamorphosis is a crucial process in the life cycle of Rana (Aquarana) catesbeiana. R. catesbeiana tadpoles, in their short larval period, possess a high survival rate and also a highly competitive ability in the amphibious stage. In actual seed ...
