TEMPERATURE AND EFFICIENCY OF DEVELOPMENT DURING ENDOGENOUS FEEDING IN HERRING EMBRYOS AND YOLK-SAC LARVAE

Overnell, J.-1997

Journal of Fish Biology, 50:358-365

Abstract:

Oxygen uptakes, dry weights and energy contents of herring Clupea harengus were measured periodically from the time of egg fertilization to the end of the yolk-sac stage (without added food). Temperature of incubation (3.5-17 C) had little effect on efficiency of conversion of egg reserves to body material.
