Yolk Utilization and Growth to Yolk-Sac Absorption in Summer Flounder ('Paralichthys dentatus') Larvae at Constant and Cyclic Temperatures

摘要

Rates of development, growth and yolk conversion efficiency were determined in larvae of the summer flounder Paralichtys dentatus at constant temperatures of 21 degrees, 16 degrees, 12 degrees and 5 degrees C and in temperature cycles of 21 degrees-16 degrees, 16 degrees-11 degrees, and 11 degrees-5 degrees C. In constant incubation temperatures, development rate increased with increasing temperature.
