5.3 FACTORS INFLUENCING GROWTH AND SURVIVAL

5.3.1 Introduction

Effects of diet and food ration were specifically dealt with in the previous section. This section provides useful background information in discussing other aspects of culture conditions and how they influence the performance of both embryos and larvae. Topics include temperature and salinity, seawater quality, egg and larval quality and disease. Much of the information included has not previously been published and in contrast to other sections of this manual references have been cited in the text to enable the reader to pursue topics of interest in greater depth.
