Abstract

Live feeds are the main items in the diet of cultured fish larvae and they are of particular importance when rearing marine fish larvae of the altricial type. Altricial larvae are those that remain in a relatively undeveloped state until the yolk sac is exhausted. At first feeding the digestive system is still rudimentary, lacking a stomach, and much of the protein digestion takes place in the hind gut epithelial cells. Such a digestive system is in most cases incapable of processing formulated diets in a manner that allows survival and growth of the larvae comparable to those of live feeds. Despite the recent progress in the development of inert diets for fish larvae, feeding of most species of interest for aquaculture still relies on live feeds during the early life stages.
