Artificial start-feed for cod larvae (Gadus MorhuaL.) based upon cod roe

Abstract
Cod larvae (Gadus morhua) were start-fed in laboratory tanks using cod roe based diets. Although metamorphosis did not occur, due to a high mortality rate, it is concluded that roe-based feeds supplied with peptone addition, and coated with rigid fat or stearol, are capable of initiating development of the gut, filling of the swim bladder and producing larval growth.
