Abstract This study investigates how the characteristics (spectrum and photoperiod) of artificial light affect European sea bass eggs and larvae from − 1 to 40 days post-hatching. Fertilised eggs and larvae were reared under five different light treatments: 12L:12D red light (LDR; half-peak bandwidth = 641–718 nm), 12L:12D blue light (LDB; half-peak bandwidth = 435–500 nm), 12L:12D broad-spectrum white light (LDW; 367

Effects of light during early larval development of some aquacultured teleosts a review (2011, background): “In our study with European sea bass, larvae reared under LDR did not feed on rotifers but, interestingly, actively captured Artemia nauplii and metanauplii (Villamizar et al., 2009).”
Fantastically plastic: fish larvae equipped for a new world (2013, background): “The importance of such environmental fluctuations and cycles for a correct signalling and the adequate coordination of early developmental processes has been recently evidenced (Vallone et al. 2007; Villamizar et al. 2009; Blanco-Vives et al. 2010).”
Feeding behaviour and digestive physiology in larval fish: current knowledge, and gaps and bottlenecks in research (2013, background): “Furthermore, scotopic (low light) vision varies among species and developmental stages and changes in the light spectrum may affect activity, feeding behaviour and larval growth (Villamizar et al. 2009; Blanco-Vives et al. 2010).”
