Feeding Habits of Some Young Fish | Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom | Cambridge Core (original) (raw)

Extract

During the year 1918 several young fish brought in alive from the tow-nets were kept in small aërated aquaria at an even temperature and fed on plankton. In this way feeding habits were noted and some post-larval fish went through a metamorphosis into the adult form, notably Labrus bergylta the Ballan Wrasse, Solea vulgaris the Sole, Solea lascaris the Lemon Sole, and three species of Lepadogaster. Young Whiting and Pollack were also kept alive for some months and fed eagerly on most of the food that was given to them.
