Abstract
Dietary investigations have been conducted to improve the survival of fathead minnow (Pimephales promelas) larvae for aquatic toxicity testi ng purposes. Data are presented that suggest that feeding fish larvae both protozoa and Artemia nauplii may produce more consistent levels o f larval survival and growth when compared with fish larvae fed Artemi a nauplii only.
