Larval Fish Nutrition

Larval Fish Nutrition

A comprehensive reference on the nutritional requirements and developmental physiology of fish during their early-life stages. It examines nutrient needs, digestive development, feeding behavior, and the effects of nutrition throughout larval development, with practical guidance on feeding and weaning strategies. The book also compares live feeds and microparticulate diets, making it useful for aquaculture researchers, professionals, and advanced students.
