 This research paper examined the effects of different diets on European eel larvae during the first feeding stage. The authors found that larvae-fed diet 3 had the highest survival rate and showed the greatest increase in size and weight compared to other diets. Additionally, they observed that larvae-fed diet 3 also exhibited increased expression of genes involved in digestion, appetite, and growth. This article was authored by Elisa Benaini, Kasun A.
