HAVBRUKS-Havbruk - en næring i vekst

Nutrient requirements of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) larvae at first-feeding

Intensively cultured cod larvae, which are fed rotifers and formulated feed, grow slower and develop more deformities than larvae cultured semi-extensively with the natural diet, copepods. This shows that the present knowledge is insufficient for optimal intensive juvenile production. Suboptimal ...
