Definition of the point of no return in turbot (Scophthalmus máximus L.) larvae understarving conditions at three different temperatures

The present study defines the feeding capacity and the point of no retum of turbot larvae subjected 10 starvation at three different temperatures. Larvae subjected 10 starvation at 13, 15 and 18°C were fed for the first time on days 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 after hatching. At these ternperatures,...

Description
Summary:The present study defines the feeding capacity and the point of no retum of turbot larvae subjected 10 starvation at three different temperatures. Larvae subjected 10 starvation at 13, 15 and 18°C were fed for the first time on days 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 after hatching. At these ternperatures, death by starvation occurs at days 11, 10 and 9, respectively. The point of no return, defined as the moment at which the larval feeding incidence is reduced 10 half its maximum initial value. occurs after 8.0. 8.1 and 6.9 days at 13, 15 and 18°C. respectively. 0
