Effects of temperature regime on growth and daily rhythms of digestive factors in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) larvae

Environmental factors such as light and temperature present cyclic variations during the day. High temperatures occur during the light phase, whereas low temperatures take place at night (i.e. a daily thermocycle). Although applying thermocycles to fish larvae improves growth in some species, nothing is known about the impact during the early development of the digestive system. The aim of the present research was to investigate the effect of...
