Live Food for Marine Fish Larvae
Resumen
The choice of a particular fish species for aquaculture starts a cascade of subsequent choices of
live feeds for a fish hatchery. Once a fish species is chosen, the first larval feed (zooplankton
such as copepods, rotifers or Artemia) may be chosen, and each of these zooplankters has
different algae requirements for optimum performance. The first feed is usually determined by
larval mouth size. For this discussion, the choices are large, medium and small mouth fish larvae.
The fish chosen as examples here are species raised by the author, but many other species fall
into similar categories of size and nutritional needs.
