FIG. 5.
Characteristics of water quality during the rearing experiments: (A) pH, (B) NH3, (C) NO2, (D) NO3, (E) salinity, and (F) temperature. Open boxes indicate the results from tanks holding larval fish fed with processed food. Filled boxes indicate the results from tanks holding larval fish fed with freshwater rotifers (B. calyciflorus). Each water quality marker was measured at 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 16, 23, and 30 days postfertilization. The data in the panels represent the mean±SEM (n=9 for both diets).
