“…The knowledge about the role of early fish ontogeny is particularly essential for better understanding of larval dynamics and mechanisms of adapting to variable environmental conditions. The essential events in larviculture are not only the period of these susceptible ontogenetic stages, but also a diversity of vital physical appearances such as the hatching size, onset of feeding, and the efficacy of yolk utilization (Koumoundouros et al 2001;Polo et al 1991). Some fish species are more highly prone to mass mortalities during the early feeding time than during the advanced development phase (Dou et al 2005;Gisbert and Williot 1997;Kailasam et al 2007;Mookerji and Rao 1999;Paperna 1978;Qin et al 1997).…”

The aim of this research was to investigate the yolk sac and oil globule utilization by silver perch (Bidyanus bidyanus) larvae produced from domesticated broodfish. The larvae were kept unfed in the holding tank, sampled, and investigated by image analysis software to determine various characteristics, such as the diameters of ova, water-hardened eggs, yolk-sac, oil globules, and the total length of larvae. The research illustrated that, with the exception of oil globule diameter, all other morphometric parameters were significantly lower (P \ 0.05) when compared to the larvae from the wild broodfish. The yolk sac was completely absorbed at 96 h post-hatching (hph) and the oil globule was visible until 240 hph. The larvae exhibited predatory movements and tried to catch rotifer at 4 days post hatching (dph). However, the onset of feeding took place at 5 dph, while 100% of feeding occurred at 6 dph. During the first 96 h (h), larvae grew significantly faster than the next 144 h. Larvae encountered low mortalities (\10%) during the first 96 hph, before increasing significantly in the next 24 h and no unfed larvae survived post 240 h. The results also suggested that the exogenous feed should be available at 96 hph, which is well after the yolk sac is completely depleted. In addition, although most of eggs and larval performance from domesticated broodfish were inferior compared to the wild one, it has larger oil globule that could make longer of its mixed feeding period and therefore could have better in viability.

“…For example, water temperature may determine developmental time, growth, swimming performance (Meekan et al 2003;Green and Fisher 2004) and the rate of yolk sac absorption (Fukahara 1990) of young fish. Additionally, some species exhibit an optimal temperature range for development, outside of which mortality and abnormalities increase (Polo et al 1991). Physical factors may also interact with other biological processes to influence growth rates.…”

Environmental influences on larval duration, growth and magnitude of settlement of a coral reef fish

et al. 2005

The influence of environmental variables on the planktonic growth, pelagic larval duration and settlement magnitude was examined for the coral reef surgeonfish Acanthurus chirurgus. Newly settled fish were collected daily from patch reefs in the San Blas Archipelago, Caribbean Panama for 3.5 years. Environmental influences on growth were examined at three different life history stages: from 0 to 6 days, 7 to 25 days and from 26 to 50 days after hatching. Larval growth was correlated, using multiple regression techniques, with a combination of factors including solar radiation, rainfall, and along-shore winds. Depending on the life history stage, these accounted for 13-38% of the variation in growth rates when all the months were included in the analyses. Correlations between environmental variables and growth also varied among seasons and were stronger in the dry than in the wet season. During the dry season solar radiation, rainfall and along-shore winds described 57%, 86% and 74% of the variability in growth between 0 and 6 days, 7 and 25 days and 26 and 50 days, respectively. During the wet season rainfall, along-shore winds and temperature only described 38% of the variability in early growth and 27% of growth just before settlement. No significant model was found to describe growth 7-25 days after hatching during the wet season. Rainfall, solar radiation and along-shore winds were negatively correlated with growth up to 25 days after hatching but positively correlated as larvae approached settlement at a mean age of 52 days. Over 65% of the variability in pelagic larval duration was accounted for by a regression model that included solar radiation and along-shore winds. When data sets from wet and dry seasons were analysed separately, alongshore winds accounted for 67% of the change in larval duration in the dry season, and solar radiation accounted for 23% of the variation in larval duration in the wet season. Only 22% of the variability in settlement intensity could be described by solar radiation and temperature, when all months of the year were included in the analysis. Solar radiation and rainfall were included in a regression model that accounted for 40% of the variation in numbers of fish settling during the dry season. This study suggests that the levels of solar radiation, along-shore winds and rainfall during the early larval life can have important effects on the growth, larval duration and consequently, the settlement magnitude of marine fishes. Results also highlight the need to account for seasonality and ontogeny in studies of environmental influences.

“…Besides swimming performance, it has been shown to affect growth, metabolism, time of hatching (Herzig and Winkler 1986), development (Herzig and Winkler 1986;Fukuhara 1990;Polo et al 1991;Gibson and Johnston 1995;Lein et al 1997), yolk absorption (Fukuhara 1990), muscle ontogeny and development (Johnston 1981(Johnston , 1993ontogeny of internal organs (Fukuhara 1990;Gibson and Johnston 1995), external morphology (Lindsey 1988;Wimberger 1992;Tudela 1999;Koumoundouros et al 2001a;Pakkasmaa and Piironen 2001;Cabral et al 2003;Silva 2003;Turan 2004), meristic characters (Turan 2004), appearance of skeletal deformities (Polo et al 1991;Koumoundouros et al 2001b), sex determination (Baroiller et al 1999;Pavlidis et al 2000;Koumoundouros et al 2002a) and the overall survival (Fukuhara 1990;Lein et al 1997) and lifespan of fish (Malek et al 2004). Although the effect of swimming temperature on the performance of fish has been studied thoroughly and in a wide range of species, there are only a few studies focusing on the impact of rearing temperature on the swimming performance of adult fish (i.e.…”

Effect of developmental temperature on swimming performance of zebrafish (Danio rerio) juveniles

It is widely known that water temperature affects the swimming capacity of fish. But the effect of the rearing temperature on the swimming ability of the fish at later stages, has not had similar attention. In this study, four populations of zebrafish, were reared in different water temperatures (22, 25, 28 and 31°C) and after being acclimatized in a common temperature (26.5°C) for over a month, they were subjected to swimming trials in order to evaluate the maximum relative critical velocity (RU crit ) in each case. Fish that were reared in 22°C showed statistically significant lower performance than the ones reared in 31°C (7.72 ±0.17 vs. 8.79±0.28, means ± S.E.). Possible explanations for the observed differentiation could be the effect of early life temperature on fish muscle ontogeny or on body shape.
