What is the best way to raise oceanic fish in captivity?
An Aquarist must provide the correct diet for the needs of each fish throughout its stages of life.
Sebastes serranoides that are fed 1 gram smelt will grow larger in both length and girth than those that are fed 1 gram squid.
-Conclusion from an experiment I did at the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium.
If the food given to larval fish lacks in nutrients, then it could result in death or deformities.
-Third Interview
Squid and fish are the favored food for Sebastes serranoides.
- Love, Milton, L. William V. Westphal. "Growth, Reproduction and Food Habits...." Fishery Bulletin. 1981. Web.
The diet of a fish has a profound effect on them. It determines their overall health, how big they get, how fast they grow, whether they have kids or not and if they'll grow up with a deformity or not.
