Effects of bacterial treatment at early stages of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) on larval survival and development

Aims:  To assess the effects of bacterial treatment at the earliest stages of cod rearing on the microbial load, larval development and performance, testing three bacterial strains (Carnobacterium divergens V41, Arthrobacter sp. and Enterococcus sp.) in vivo that were previously shown to have inhibitory potential towards fish pathogens in vitro.
