During weaning, it is crucial that mortality through delayed development of active feeding behavior, and starvation
is kept to a minimum, while maintaining decent growth rates [7]. However, considering the importance to wean fry
as quickly as possible to on formulated diet, to reduce the cost but also to shorten the weaning period and therefore
decrease the chance of mortality, the mixed-diet treatment seems to be preferable for weaning larval stages of fish
[20].
