Overview

This volume includes selected papers presented at the international symposium Live Food Organisms in Marine Larviculture held in Nagasaki, Japan, September 1-4 1996. The symposium focused on live food organisms for the larval rearing of marine animals. Current achievements in the fundamental biology (such as physiology, ecology, taxonomy, life cycle and nutrition) of live planktonic animals used as feed in aquaculture were combined with technological advances on larval rearing methods.
