Most of the studies on the digestive system in fish are on altrical fish larvae, such as cod and halibut. Since these larvae do not have a stomach at first-feeding, they have a reduced ability to digest conventional formulated diets, and are therefore given live feed. 2, record 1, English, - first%20feeding

La majorité des poissons marins élevés ont des œufs de petit diamètre [...] qui donnent des larves de faibles dimensions. [...] Pour certaines [espèces], les larves écloses sont tellement peu développées que leur bouche est encore fermée et [leur] tractus digestif n'est pas fonctionnel [...]. De plus, après une brève période de résorption du sac vitellin, les larves sont souvent incapables de manger des proies supérieures à 50 m. En considérant ces différents facteurs et en se rappelant les problèmes liés à la stabilité de l'aliment et à la dissolution des [nutriments], il n'est sans doute pas surprenant que la plupart des écloseries commerciales utilisent des organismes vivants comme aliment [...] pour la première alimentation larvaire jusqu'à ce que la métamorphose soit [complète]. 3, record 1, French, - premi%C3%A8re%20alimentation
