Larval developmental rate, metabolic rate and future growth performance in Atlantic salmon
Research output: Contribution to journal › Conference abstract in journal › Research
Previous studies in salmonids suggest a link between larval developmental rate,
metabolic rate, and future growth. However, the connection between growth during
exogenous and endogenous feeding is still debated. In the current study, a positive
relationship between larval developmental rate, quantified as time to first feeding, and
growth in later stages was demonstrated in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.). The
observed relationship between future growth and larval developmental rate suggests
that sorting larvae by time to first feeding can be a potential tool to optimize feeding
strategies and growth in commercial rearing of Atlantic salmon. Furthermore, the link
between larval standard metabolic rate and developmental rate and future growth is
discussed in the present study.
