This proceedings volume includes selected papers presented at the
international symposium `Live Food Organisms in Marine Larviculture'
held in Nagasaki, Japan, September 1-4 1996. This international
symposium focused on live food organisms for the larval rearing of
marine animals. Recent achievements in the fundamental biology (such as
physiology, ecology, taxonomy, life cycle and nutrition) of live
planktonic animals used as feed in aquaculture were combined with recent
technological advances on larval rearing methods. This volume also
provides future directions for the application of basic science to the
rearing of aquatic animals.
