Comparison of the gut bacterial flora of start‐feeding larval turbot reared under different conditions
P.D. MUNRO, A. BARBOUR AND T.H. BIRKBECK. 1994. Bacterial colonization of the gut of turbot larvae coincided with the start of feeding and the gut microflora was then dominated by Vibrio and Aeromonas species. The detection of similar bacterial isolates over several days indicated the presence of a...
