| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To control mass larval death due to poor feeding, surface death, and sinking death, some experiments were performed in tuna, amberjack, and grouper, species that are difficult to mass produce. Investigation of opsin gene expression in the target species revealed that at least three opsin genes were expressed in a given fish species, and kawakawa (Euthynnus affinis) and longtooth grouper (Epinephelus bruneus) expressed >10 opsin genes. It was also suggested that the opsin gene expression in larvae differ among fish species, and food intake, behaviors, and frequency of surface death can be controlled using light of specific wavelengths. Additionally, a model of a new seed production system was developed, which includes the usage of a round bottom tank to enhance the survival rate in some target species and for high-density production during the larval death period in Pacific bluefin tuna (Thunnus orientalis).
