Investigate mechanisms of bone development in craniofacial structures of cod through pathways regulated by prostaglandins and retinoic acid

Abstract The development of craniofacial deformities is still a problem in the production of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) and several studies show a link between the quality of the diet and the rate of these deformities. In particular has the levels vitam in A or retinoic acid and eicosapentaenoi...

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.
