Major gaps in knowledge on fish larval nutritional requirements still remain, what leads to high mortalities and quality problems in marine larviculture. This paper reviews a range of new tools, such as tracer studies, population genomics, nutritional programming, functional genomics and proteomics, as well as some examples of their present use, and potential future applications in the study of fish larvae nutrition.

A mechanistic simulation model of fish larval growth should contribute to a better understanding of growth and metabolism of fish larvae. It should also assist in studying the nutritional requirements and developing feeding strategies. A model was developed that simulates growth and biochemical composition in time. The model is driven by feed intake, with absorbed nutrients being used for energy production and biosynthesis, based on the stoicheometry of intermediary metabolism. Model simulations suggest that imbalanced dietary amino acid (AA) profiles […]
