Interdisciplinary Approaches in Fish Skeletal Biology, April 26-28, Tavira, Portugal.AUT: LCA00739http://hdl.handle.net/10400.1/4466Nutritional imbalances affecting bone development have been implicated in the incidence of skeletal deformities, which are acknowledged to constitute one of the major constrains in the production of high quality fish. Several studies have focused on the identification of causes of deformities and associated them to factors such as rearing environment, nutrition and genetics. Among these, larval nutrition at first feeding is one of the key parameters affecting skeletogenesis during early development. Vitamin K (VK) is a liposoluble vitamin classically involved in blood coagulation, and until recently largely disregarded in aquaculture nutrition.engconference object
