Effects of different light intensities on survival and growth of Asian seabass, Lates calcarifer larvae

The effects of different light intensity on Asian seabass, Lates ca/carifer larvae were studied in two stages: early (1 to 10 days after hatch, d AH) and late larval (14 to 42 d AH). The larvae were reared at 0, 500, 1,000 and 2,000 Ix light intensities to investigate survival, cannibalism, growth,...
