Observation Of Marine Finfish Larvae PART II - The digestive system

摘要

In a previous issue we explained how important it is to observe marine fish larvae and stressed that many details must be looked at if one wants to have success in rearing them. Besides the observations already mentioned in Part 1, one very specific larval feature remains the main point of attention: This is the larvae's digestive system. There are several simple reasons for this: First, the digestive system of fish larvae is extremely basic and fragile. Then, over time, it becomes increasingly complex and equipped with apparatus, enzymes, bacterial flora etc.
