Culture of larval turbot, Scophthalmus Maximus L. using two different enrichment methods

Experiments were conducted during the spring spawning of turbot in 1988 in cylindrical tanks of 1000 and 2500 1 capacity , lasting until 25 d after eclosion. The larvae were stocked at densities of 40 1-1 , and first fed on the live rotifer Brachionus plicatilis, and later on Artemia nauplii. In the...

Description
Summary:Experiments were conducted during the spring spawning of turbot in 1988 in cylindrical tanks of 1000 and 2500 1 capacity , lasting until 25 d after eclosion. The larvae were stocked at densities of 40 1-1 , and first fed on the live rotifer Brachionus plicatilis, and later on Artemia nauplii. In the first experiment both the rotifer and Artemia were enriched with Isochrysis galbana, and in the others with coomercially available compounds. This work compares the value of artificial enrichment with that of microalgae.
