| Abstract |
1. The eggs ofSolea solea, like many other marine planktonic fish eggs, are characterized by a high water content (91%) and a relatively low calorific content (5800 cal/g dry organic substance). Demersal fish eggs, on the other hand, have, according to the information available from literature, a low water content (about 75%) and a high calorific content (6500 cal/g dry organic substance).2. Older embryos and freshly hatched larvae of Solea solea secrete large quantities of slime upon brief exposure to distilled water; this makes the estimation of their dry weight and calorific content difficult. Slime secretion could be reduced to a certain extent by killing the larvae in 5% sea-water formalin prior to distilled water exposure (to remove adhering salt water).3. At 10° C, incubation lasts 176 hours and freshly hatched larvae contain 85.2% of the energy contained in a freshly laid egg (0.49 cal/egg); at 15° C and 20° C, the corresponding values are 80 hours, 79.0% and 53 hours, 75.5%, respectively. |
