Extract

The use of natural plankton and other foods, and of transfer techniques during phases of mortality before metamorphosis, has made it possible for substantial numbers of herring larvae to be reared beyond this stage, thus supplying requirements for experimental work. A survival to and beyond metamorphosis of over 10% of larvae passing the yolk-sac stage (3–4% of hatched larvae) has been obtained.
