This work describes the ontogeny of the digestive tract in thick lipped grey mullet (Chelon labrosus) larvae reared until day 36 post-hatching with the semi-extensive technology in mesocosms. Diet was constituted by live preys, rotifers, Arternia and wild zooplankton, then compound diet was added from day 20 (p. h.). Linear growth, weight growth and digestive enzymes specific activities were studied during larval ontogeny. Pancreatic enzymes (trypsin and amylase) and intestinal enzymes (leucine-alanine peptidase "Leu-ala", aminopeptidase N "AN" and alkaline phosphatase "AP") were assayed in larvae sampled throughout the rearing trial to evaluate gastrointestinal maturation along the development. The trypsin specific activities were very high during the... |
