Diet, growth and recruitment of wild zebrafish in Bangladesh

Abstract

The diet of zebrafish Danio rerio in Bangladesh consisted primarily of zooplankton and insects. Zebrafish was an annual species, with the main period of reproduction commencing just before the onset of the monsoon season. Growth rates varied with age and season, with the period of most rapid growth in early life during the monsoon months. © 2007 The Fisheries Society of the British Isles.
