1. Introduction
Environmental factors such as temperature, salinity, oxygen concentration, photoperiod and pH are all known to have significantly impacts on the performance of fish larvae and juveniles, such as survival, growth, feeding and metamorphosis. For example, temperature can influence larval and juvenile metabolism rate of marine fishes from temperate and sub-tropical waters [1] and [2], and subsequently influence their physiological performance, such as growth, development and behavior [3], [4], [5] and [6]. Relevant studies on tropical marine fish species have been mainly focused on commercial important species for the purposes of mariculture and human consumption, such as groupers and snappers [7] and [8].
