Effect of development rate on the swimming, escape responses, and morphology of yolk-sac stage larval American plaice, Hippoglossoides platessoides

To examine the impact of development rate on swimming performance, escape response, and morphology, yolk-sac larvae of American plaice (Hippoghlossoides platessoides, Fabricius) were reared at two temperatures (5 and 10 degrees C). Videomicroscopy and silhouette collimation videography were used to...

Description
Summary:To examine the impact of development rate on swimming performance, escape response, and morphology, yolk-sac larvae of American plaice (Hippoghlossoides platessoides, Fabricius) were reared at two temperatures (5 and 10 degrees C). Videomicroscopy and silhouette collimation videography were used to examine swimming, escape behaviour, and morpohology (standard lengeth, finfold area, and yolk-sac area) of individual larvae.
