Temperature and Somatic Growth Effects on Otolith Growth of Larval Atlantic Menhaden, <I>Brevoortia Tyrannus</I> (Actinopterygii: Clupeiformes: Clupeidae)

Effects of initial (larval) size and host body temperature on growth in trematodes

For ectotherms, temperature is an important correlate of variation in body size within species. Variation in body size among related species could also be attributable in part to temperature if the different species grow under different thermal regimes. The roles of both initial (larval) size and host body temperature on final (adult) size of parasitic trematodes were investigated in a comparat...

Effects of different incubation temperature on development rate, growth, survival and some physiological parameters during embryonic and larval development in Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Temperature is one of the most important environmental factors affecting of fish embryos and the survival and growth of fish larvae. In this study, eyed eggs of rainbow trout were incubated and reared until 30 day after first feeding at three constant temperatures including 7, 11 and 15 °C with four replicates in order to observe their survival, growth, rate of development and some physiologica...

Comparison of continuous and discontinuous feeding regimens on the growth and survival of larval and early juvenile Atlantic sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrhynchus) under hatchery conditions

Temperature effects on growth and nucleic acids in laboratory-reared larval coregonid fish

Somatic growth and nucleic acid content were studied in North Sea houting Coregonus oxyrhinchus larvae fed exclusively on dry diets at 2 temperatures (8.4 and 17.5°C) during a 32 d rearing experiment. The higher temperature enhanced growth significantly. Mean dry weights at the end of the experiment were 3.6 mg (SD = 1.07, range 1.4 to 5.7 mg) and 31.5 mg (SD = 21.9, range 3.6 to 96.0 mg), and ...

the effects of planning on accuracy and complexity of iranian efl students’ written narrative task performance

this study compared the different effects of form-focused guided planning vs. meaning-focused guided planning on iranian pre-intermediate students’ task performance. the study lasted for three weeks and concentrated on eight english structures. forty five pre-intermediate iranian students were randomly assigned to three groups of guided planning focus-on-form group (gpfg), guided planning focus...
