early life stages according to notochord flexion in European sea bass ( <i>Dicentrarchus labrax </i>) larvae under
intensive culture conditions. In order to detect the skeletal deformities,
total 836 larvae were stained by Alcian blue and Alizarin Red S. Total length
of Newly hatched larvae length were 3.46±0.02 mm and end of the study it was
18.58±0.1 mm. Totally, 836 specimens were examined during the experiment but
1256 deformities were recorded in 270 deformed larvae. Also, skeletal deformity
rate was calculated as 32% at the end of the study. Most viewed skeletal
deformities were recorded as vertebral malformations (21.3%) and followed by
vertebral fusion (18.6%) and lordosis (12.7). The highest amount of skeletal
deformity was determined after notochord flexion stage (52.1%) in the study. </span> </p> <p> </p> </div>}, number={4}, publisher={Ege University}
