At the end of yolksac stage (36 days after hatching) halibut larvae were offered the
prey organism Artemia salina at different densities ranging from 1 to 100.000 litre ^- 1.
The feeding experiment was carried out in 11 black plastic tanks (10 litre) each
containing 20 larvae. The optimal prey concentration in the initial first feeding
situation was found to be in the range of 700 - 7.000 Artemia litre^- 1.
