BIO-3512: Early life of marine fish Work Load
10 credits (ECTS) | Objectives
The course will give the students an overview of the variety of reproductive patterns and early life histories of marine fish species, detailed knowledge of embryonic and larval development as well as insight into growth, mortality and recruitment of larval populations. | Contents
Initially the course gives an introduction to the reproductive patterns and gonad development of fishes, followed by a detailed description of egg and larval development, metamorphosis, larval feeding, behaviour, growth, predation and starvation; including factors affecting these processes. Fish larval ecology, factors determining recruitment and sampling methods are also focused. Examples from the various themes are given from both field and experimental situations.
A laboratory course is included and both living and fixed gonads, eggs, larvae and juveniles from selected species are studied.
