Daily feeding rhythms of Stephanolepis cirrhifer. The food organisms at 4 dph, 8 and 12 dph, and 25 and 35 dph are S-Rotifers, L-Rotifers, and Artemia salina nauplii, respectively. Different letters above the data bars indicate significant differences (p < 0.05).

Background: We investigated the growth and feeding characteristics of threadsail filefish, Stephanolepis cirrhifer, during early ontogenesis. Methods: The growth indices of hatchlings fed compound feed were measured from 0 to 50 days post hatching (dph). The absorption time of the yolk sac and oil globule, as well as the rate of first feeding were...
