Larval Rearing
Since the first hatched larvae (preleptocephali) of freshwater eel were obtained in the 1970s (Yamamoto and Yamauchi 1974), rearing techniques for...

Delayed First Feeding Chronically Impairs Larval Fish Growth Performance, Hepatic Lipid Metabolism, and Visceral Lipid Deposition at the Mouth-Opening Stage
During the mouth-opening stage, fish larvae are susceptible to delayed first feeding (DFF). In this study, we explored the effects of DFF for two...

Brain Imaging and Registration in Larval Zebrafish
Registration of larval zebrafish brain scans to a common reference brain enables comparison of transgene and gene expression patterns, neuroanatomy,...

Assaying Optic Nerve Regeneration in Larval Zebrafish
Zebrafish have a remarkable capacity for spontaneously regenerating their central nervous system. Larval zebrafish are optically transparent and...

Chronic exposure to the star polycation (SPc) nanocarrier in the larval stage adversely impairs life history traits in Drosophila melanogaster
BackgroundNanomaterials are widely used as pesticide adjuvants to increase pesticide efficiency and minimize environmental pollution. But it is...

Effects of invasive bigheaded carp and environmental factors on larval fish growth
Silver carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix and bighead carp H. nobilis (collectively bigheaded carp) are abundant planktivorous invasive species in...

Cost of defensive spraying by larval Osmylus hyalinatus (Neuroptera: Osmylidae) for post-larval development
The chemical defense of insects is effective for avoiding predation, but may carry a cost in terms of life history traits. If chemical defenses...

Effect of predators on Anopheles arabiensis and Anopheles funestus larval survivorship in Homa Bay County Western Kenya
BackgroundThe rise of insecticide resistance against malaria vectors in sub-Saharan Africa has resulted in the need to consider other methods of...

Anchovy boom and bust linked to trophic shifts in larval diet
Although massive biomass fluctuations of coastal-pelagic fishes are an iconic example of the impacts of climate variability on marine ecosystems, the...

Thermal tolerance of larval Antarctic cryonotothenioid fishes
Cryonotothenioids constitute a subgroup of notothenioid fishes endemic to the Southern Ocean that are specialized to exist in a narrow range of...
