Abstract
Samples of twelve broods of oyster larvae were subjected to a standard laboratory rearing technique while other samples were assayed for glycogen. The glycogen reserves of the larvae at liberation lay between 13·4 and 15·4% of the dry organic matter. No correlation was observed between the glycogen reserve and either the size of the larvae at liberation or the yield of spat in the rearing experimentsKeywords
