Overall wet weight was highest under LDB (21.6± 2.02 mgr) and
lowest in LDR larvae (13.6± 1.48 mgr). Yolk sac and oil globule absorption occurred more slowly in LDR and
DD larvae, while LDB larvae developed their fin, teeth and swim bladder significantly earlier than the rest of
the groups. DD larvae were unable to capture food and mortality was 100% by day post-hatching 18, while
LDR larvae did not feed on rotifers, but fed on Artemia from day post-hatching 16 onwards
