    abstract = {In this study, the absorption dynamics of endogen food reserves 
  and also specific activities of main pancreatic and intestinal enzymes were 
  investigated in three different salinities (natural sea water, lower salinities 
  as 30 and 25-&#137;) during early ontogeny 
  in larvae of sea bass, <I>Dicentrarchus labrax</I>, until mouth opening. Among 
  experimental groups, mouth and anus were completely opened in larvae and also 
  although yolk sac was nearly absorbed in whole larvae, oil globule was not fully 
  depleted at the end of the 120th h after Hatching (HAH). In all experimental 
  groups, trypsin specific activity rapidly rose up during the first 48 HAH then 
  decreased. Also, this activity increased to until end of the experiment. Lipase 
  specific activity slowly increased during the first 48 HAH then rose up to 120 
  HAH. Amylase specific activity was almost stationary during the first 48 HAH 
  and then gradually increased to the end of the experiment. From this time to 
  the end of the experiment this activity slowly declined. For intestinal enzymes, 
  Alkaline Phosphatase (AP) and leu-ala peptidase activity presented converse 
  profile among the experimental groups. The specific activity of AP demonstrated 
  quite similar pattern for trypsin during the experiment. For leu-ala peptidase 
  activity, opposite pattern was observed for AP activity during the first 24 
  h, specific activity was relatively higher but after then, it slowly decreased 
  concurrently in all experimental groups. As a result of this study, obtained 
  results clearly summarized that significant differences were recorded in all 
  experimental groups, however, the lower salinity levels (25 and 30-&#137;) 
  in experimental groups demonstrated relatively significant and higher results 
  in terms of endogen reserves absorption, larval growth performance, survival 
  rate and digestive enzyme activities compared to natural sea water experimental 
  group (p&lt;0.05).}
