Description [ii], 125 leaves : illustrations ; 30 cm Summary Several dietary binding agents were evaluated to produce an artificial moist diet which significantly improved water stability and ingestion efficiency, by redclaw crayfish, by up to 60%. Also behavioural feeding repertoire was described for the first time for this species. A bio-assay was then utilised to compare, and make recommendations on, various feed attractants Notes Submitted to the School of Ecology and Environment of the Faculty of Science and Technology, Deakin University Thesis (M.Sc.)--Deakin University, Victoria, 2002 Bibliography Bibliography: leaves 113-124 Subject Crayfish -- Feeding and feeds.
