4 pages, 1 figure, 1 table.-- Larvi '95, Fish and Shellfish Larviculture Symposium, Gent, Belgium, September 3-7, 1995 High mortality rates are observed during the first 2 weeks of turbot larval development. food availability in terms of quality and quantity, is considered one of the major causes of this high mortality, In this article we assess the effects of first feeding delay on turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) larval development, using weight, protein, RNA and DNA content analyses The study was supported by the Project No. AGF92-0185 (CICYT, Spain).
