Biochemical composition of copepods for evaluation of feed quality in production of juvenile marine fish (2008, background): “Using copepods as feed compared to intensive rearing of cod larvae on rotifers has indicated a significant nutritional influence on juvenile quality and growth (Imsland et al., 2006).”
Growth model for Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua): Effects of temperature and body weight on growth rate (2007, background): “4B) were produced intensively on rotifers and Artemia (Troms Marin Yngel), a factor which has been found to explain long-term differences in growth rates (Imsland et al., 2006).”
Several micronutrients in the rotifer Brachionus sp. may not fulfil the nutritional requirements of marine fish larvae (2008, background): “Further, batches of juveniles arising from semi-extensive larvae are more robust and have lower rates of deformities than those from intensively reared larvae (Imsland et al. 2006).”
