- Growth hormone profiles and development of somatotrophs in Atlantic Halibut LarvaePublication . Einarsdóttir, Ingibjörg E.; Sweeney, Glen E.; Power, Deborah; Kristjánsson, Birgir A.; Björnsson, Björn ThrandurThe Atlantic halibut is the largest flatfish species, and as other flatfish, has a complicated larval development. The pelagic larvae hatch after about two weeks and feeding starts six weeks later. After three to four months, they start to undergo metamorphosis. Following major changes in body shape, including the migration of the left to the right side, the larvae settle as bottom dwelling. In Atlantic halibut aquaculture, the larval rearing is a critical rearing stage, with high incidence of mortality and abnormal development.
