Modelo logaritmico de mortalidad para larvas de la anchoveta norteña Engraulis mordax

Abstract

A logaritmic model was constructed in order to describe mortality during early life history of E. mordax. A. mortality rate is obtained from the model permitting the comparison between larval culture under different feeding conditions. This type of mortality curve shows a convex pattern, with little mortality occuring during the first days after hatching followed by colapse of population by end of experiment
