Abstract
Sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax larvae were hatched and reared for 34 da ys in the laboratory to test a recent biochemical index (DNA/C) of lar val fish nutritional condition. Variations in DNA/C ratio values were monitored during the whole larval ontogenesis of fed individuals and t he effect of starvation was assessed at three developmental stages. Th ree main periods in the relative DNA content variations were determine d in close connection with growth patterns during larval ontogenesis.
