Title Laboratory experiments on some factors affecting the survival of marine teleost larvae
 
Creator Qasim, S Z
 
Subject Mariculture
 
Description There has been remarkably little precise experimental work upon the conditions
necessary for the successful rearing of marine larval fish. The experiments described
here were therefore undertaken as part of a study of the biology of the common shore
fish Blennius pholis L. and Centronotus gunnellus (L.) (Qasim, 1956 a, b, 1957 a, b).
A preliminary report of the initial experiments (Qasim, 1955) has already revealed
the necessity of providing suitable conditions, not only of food, but of diurnal
changes in illumination. The present account describes another series of experiments
subsequently undertaken to investigate the influence of food, light, water
agitation and temperature on the survival of larvae of the two species. In addition
to these factors, there are observations on the ' gas disease', noticed in various
species by many authors and attributed by some to supersaturation of water with
gases (Soleim, 1940 ; Dannevig & Dannevig, 1950 ; Henly, 1952).
