The study aimed to describe predatory behaviour, i.e., foraging modes, how they establish predatory responses to prey and the abiotic factors that influence their hunting in a controlled environment. It is firstly reported that Aellurilus logunovi Azarkina, 2004 is a generalist predator and has a mix of feeding modes of insectivores and araneophagic or cannibalism with, utilizing their prey by either squeezing or partially engulfing. As the handling time increases with an increased body mass of prey and decreases with an increased mass of predators and reduces the mass of prey. It is also first reported that the activity of Aellurilus logunovi is highly affected by ambient temperature and light, i.e., their activity increased with an increase in temperature an...

Captive culturing of both species was conducted up to one-month post hatchlings. The sample size was 180 (90 goldfish and 90 koi carp) and kept in cemented raceways under optimum conditions. The study period was from October 2019 to April 2020. The natural breeding season for Carassius auratus and Cyprinus carpio was from 25th January to 5th February and the end of February to 11th March, respectively. The induced breeding duration for goldfish and koi carp was from 6th to 25th February and for koi carp from 12th to 30th March, respectively. For artificial breeding, the synthetic hormone Ovaprim C was injected intra-peritoneally at 0.5 ml/kg and 0.1 ml/kg body weight of females and males, respectively. Both the species were fed a 30% crude protein diet. Hydrilla plants were used for the adhesion of eggs. The female to male ratio was 2:3. Approximately 4500 to 500...
