Ontogenetic development of pompano Trachinotus ovatus

This book highlights the ontogenetic development of larval T. ovatus,  provides a comprehensive overview of larval rearing of this species. It  focuses on the physiological and molecular changes during the early  ontogeny of T. ovatus and hatchery and nursery practices. The first  seven chapters update the recent development in the hatchery technology  in T. ovatus, including feed and feeding, environmental manipulation,  hatchery management, and fingerlings in transportation. Chapter eight  and onwards decode the possible molecular mechanisms underlying fish  development and response to environmental changes and discuss the  transcription and expressions of growth and development-related genes in  T. ovatus. The last chapters discuss the functional feed additives to  the diet and antibiotic usage of T. ovatus juveniles. This book is a  valuable resource for researchers, practitioners and students in the  aquaculture industry and related fields.
