Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The need to increase fish production rates demands new and efficient methods to improve the practice of fish farming in a sustainable manner. Although large quantities of fish larvae are produced by the aquaculture industry, survival rates are low or highly variable, and the growth potential is, in most cases, not fully exploited, indicating a significant gap in our knowledge concerning the optimal nutritional conditions. In aquaculture research, one of the prospects is to understand what is necessary to allow for the proper growth and adequate development of fish larvae to become robust frying specimens. The current Special Issue features a wide range of research papers addressing the published knowledge on fish larvae digestive physiology and the new sustainable nutritional strategies to produce and provide high quality marine fish larvae.
