Hello,
more info on your rearing conditions and setup might help us in
understanding what is going wrong.
Anyway, in sea bass and sea bream larval rearing, mortality due to swim
bladder malfunction (lack of inflation) was significantly reduced by
removing from the surface of the water in the rearing tanks, the oil film
introduced by the feeding (rotifers or artemia).
Hope it helps
cheers
ps: By the way, can you see any preys (rotifers) in the intestin of the
larvae?
