Growth of the larvae of Crassostrea gigas Thunberg, fed with different algal species at high cell concentrations

Four species of algae were tested for their food value to the larvae of Crassostrea gigas. Chaetoceros calcitrans resulted in the fastest growth rate and Pyramimonas virginica was nearly as good a food in some trials. Pseudoisochrysis paradoxa was a poor food, and Isochrysis galbana was an intermedi...
