Abstract: The transition between endogenous and exogenous feeding in hatchery production of fish larvae has long been a bottleneck to increased production. Identification of alternative prey species with a wider array of nutritional profiles is essential for further expansion and diversification within the aquaculture industry. Traditional morphological methods to identify dietary composition are limited. In this study, we present a novel DNAâbased methodology for identifying the gut contents of larval fish that is independent of prey retaining identifi...
