2009/749 Improvements in Yellowtail Kingfish larval survival and juvenile quality



By Mike Thomson

This project consists of nine research projects addressing nine objectives set out in the overarching program of activity described in project 2007/707. The nine projects collectively endeavour to resolve the larval rearing, juvenile development and productivity constraints for propagated Southern Bluefin Tuna, Thunnus maccoyii, as well as continue to make improvements to the production of Yellowtail Kingfish, Seriola lalandi (YTK). The activities described in this report refer to the research that aims to increase survival rates of YTK larvae to more than 25%, and reduce malformation rates to less than 10% before hatchery grading.
