Bioenergetics of Growth in Commercially Important Developing Fishes

Size-selective mortality of laboratory-reared Atlantic bluefin tuna larvae: evidence from microstructure analysis of otoliths during the piscivorous phase

“…In contrast, in the Rotifer treatment, the small larvae may be in their optimal size range for rotifer consumption, which explains their higher growth rates compared with the median and large ones that were ready to start piscivory. In the DYSL treatment the median and large larvae may show growth compensation after the onset of piscivory, resulting in similar growth rates to those observed for the small larvae feeding on an optimal diet consisting of rotifers (Hunt Von Herbing and Turnbough, 2011). Presenting successive cumulative size distributions is quite useful in revealing growth differences.…”

Chronic stress of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss at high altitude: a field study

“…Although not directly related to the stress response, and usually used to evaluate the effects of toxins on fish physiology (Livingstone, ), measurements of total antioxidant capacity are complementary to the more commonly measured stress hormones and enzymes. These measurements provide an indirect measure of the cell's ability to produce antioxidant defences to oxidative damage that may result from stress‐related elevated metabolic rate (Hunt von Herbing & Turnbough, ). Together, the analyses should reveal whether O .…”
