Polychaete worms reduce waste, provide food in aquaculture
Adaptable and diverse, polychaetes can adapt their feeding behaviors to environmental conditions. Nereis diversicolor, a marine polychaete that can tolerate wide temperature and salinity ranges, is a good candidate for RAS enhancement.

Amino acid requirements in developing marine fish
Most marine fish have pelagic eggs with large pools of free amino acids of fairly constant proportion regardless of species. The amino acids provide energy for metabolism and are an important nutritional asset for growing embryos.
