**2.3.7 Acceptance of micro-diet feeding by larval snook**

A total of 21 (2L PVC) floating tanks were placed in the raceway and each tank was stocked with 300 eggs/L. The experiment was run twice for a period of 7 days, from day 2 after hatching till day 8 after hatching. Seven tanks were fed one of the following three diets: a) a SS type strain (150 µm) rotifer, at a density of 30 rot/ml, fed three times a day, b) a 100 µm artificial micro-diet, fed twice a day, c) a 150 µm artificial micro-diet fed twice a day. Each day three tanks were taken out and larvae stomach contents were examined under a microscope.
