Growth gradients in fish larvae*
نویسندگان
چکیده
Relative growth intensity of various longitudinally measured body segments in larvae of several species of fishes was distributed across the body in a continuous, U-shaped gradient. Juveniles lacked a simple pattern ofgrowth but appeared to grow nearly isometrically. Body depth exhibited a shallow, U-shaped gradient while body width lacked a discernible pattern. Most intense growth, in three orthogonal planes, occurred posteriorly, probably promoting effective swimming early in life.

The effects of n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (n-3 HUFA) were studied on Beluga (Huso huso) fish larvae by feeding fish larvae with live food enriched with 4 different oils (ICES 30/4, tuna eye oil, flaxseed oil and linseed oil) containing different levels of n-3 HUFA including 27.19, 20.33, 12.71 and 0.39 mg g-1 dry weight of oil, respectively. Fish larvae weighing 30.00±2.00 mg were rand...

Effect of feeding on linseed oil (LO)-enriched Artemia was investigated on growth, survival and stress resistance of tiger barb (Puntius tetrazona) larvae. Larvae were fed by LO-enriched (2.5, 5 and 7.5 %) as well as non-enriched Artemia nauplii for 14 d, followed by 14 d feeding on non-enriched Artemia. Fish fed on enriched nauplii showed significant increase in growth performance at both 14th...
