| Summary: | Expansion and production consistency in commercial farming of aquatic species,particularly species of marine fish, are limited by the lack of successful replacement of livefood with formulated feeds. Lack of progress may be due to insurmountable objectivescreated by the persistence of several biases about what constitutes the proper formulatedfeed and conditions for larval culture. Poor response to larval diets may have nothing to dowith nutrient composition, but rather the result of incompatible culture conditions andunsatisfactory presentation of the diet.Recognition of the complexity of the ontogeny of nutrient physiology in larvae must betempered with the need to strive for simplicity in formulation and manufacture. Technicalsuccess must be based upon the acceptance of compromise whereby flexibility will ensureprogress. |
