...Ian D. McCarthy; Lee A. Fuiman SUMMARY Protein synthesis is one of the major energy-consuming processes in all living organisms. Post-prandial changes in protein synthesis have been studied in a range of animal taxa but have been little studied in fish larvae. Using the flooding-dose method, we...

...Ulrike K. Müller; Jos G. M. van den Boogaart; Johan L. van Leeuwen SUMMARY Fish larvae, like many adult fish, swim by undulating their body. However,their body size and swimming speeds put them in the intermediate flow regime,where viscous and inertial forces both play an important role...

.... Research in the last decade has revealed that coral-reef fish larvae develop very impressive capacities for high-speed sustained swimming (i.e. for hours or even days) at the end of their pelagic phase when they need to reach and settle on suitable coral habitats( Stobutzki and Bellwood, 1994 ; Leis...

... and the distance itself was short, of the order of half a body length or less. This may reflect the predator avoidance strategy of young transparent fish larvae, which remain unresponsive, and so inconspicuous, when under attack ( Blaxter and Fuiman, 1990 ). Only about 25% of the larvae respond when touched ( Yin...
