Distinguishing between embryonic provisioning strategies in teleost fishes using a threshold value for parentotrophy

ZMG Skalkos, JU Van Dyke, CM Whittington - Biomolecules, 2023 - mdpi.com
The source of embryonic nutrition for development varies across teleost fishes. A
parentotrophy index (ratio of neonate: ovulated egg dry mass) is often used to determine …
