Description:
Standard culture methods were developed for larvae of two common marine fishes, the spotted seatrout Cynoscion nebulosus and the lined sole Achirus lineatus. Culture methods were described and the relationships of survival, growth and yield to temperatures, food concentrations and egg stocking densities were determined. Two different diets, a laboratory-cultured diet based on the rotifer, supplemented in some experiments with brine shrimp, and a net-collected zooplankton diet were compared. Survival rates at metamorphosis in excess of 50% could be routinely obtained for both seatrout and lined sole when food, stock and temperature levels were near optimum.
