Criteria for condition evolved from enclosure experiments with cod larva populations. In: The propagation of cod Gadus morhua L.: an international symposium, Arendal, 14 - 17 June 1983
Abstract
A number of experiments have been carried out with cod
larvae in mesocosms at variable feeding conditions. Larval
growth and survival has been monitored beyond metamorphosis,
and in some of the experiments large subpopulations of
emaciated cod larvae have been identified. A methodology for
developing criteria for larval condition of general application
to cod larvae is suggested based on measurements of
standard length, dry weight and myotome height with age
determined from the classification of yolk sac resorption.
