Figure 5. — Weight-specific ingestion rates (I) of marine fish larvae in relation to weight-spe- 

 cific grovrth coefficient (G). Data derived from Tables 2 and 5. 



Table 6. — Estimated numbers of 0.25 (xg dry weight food particles required by first-feeding marine fish larvae to meet their 

 reported mean growth rates. Required total ingestion and weight-specific ingestion (i.e., number of particles per (xg of 

 growth) are given. Estimates were calculated from the G and K, values derived from published literature (see Tables 2, 4).
