Early life stages
The Early life stages research group works on:
Published: 05.06.2007
- Updated: 03.06.2009
- Studies related to biomass estimates of 0-groups of wild populations, including studies of “bottoming”, physiology and behaviour in larvae and fry (including sensory biology)
- Fine-scale predator-prey interactions in the sea and in intensive culture
- Effects of environmental toxins on early life-stages and studies of environmental interactions and distribution models of eggs and larvae
- Exercising scientific responsibility for obtaining biological research material (from eggs to the fry stage)
- generating knowledge of the mechanisms that underlie faulty development and deformities in early life stages
- Technology specially adapted to production systems and collection methodology for early life stages, processes that affect yearclass formation and recruitment in wild populations, energetics and energy metabolism in larvae and fry for use in modelling and otolith analyses.
