Experiments were conducted on larvae of Mugil cephalus to determine onset of feeding, temporal changes in food selectivity, initial stocking density of larvae, rotifers and phytoplankton, and the effectiveness of enriching food organisms. Larvae were observed to possess rotifers in their gut at 70 h posthatch. A significant ( P Artemia resulted in significantly higher growth ( P Artemia or rotifers. Initial larval stocking densities were inversely correlated with survival ( r = −0.58, P 3 cells/ml. |
