Spawning of the gurnard broodstock in our hatchery was achieved successfully both by natural way and hormone application, under the project "Investigation of Opportunities on Cultivation of Gurnard (Chelidonichthys lucerna L., 1758)". A large number of pre larvae hatched. When the mouth of the larva was opened, the first feeding was made with nutritionally enhanced live feed (B. rotindiformis-B. plicatilis).
