It is hypothesized that the caecum in Coccorella has a function similar to that proposed for pyloric caeca in other fishes, viz. to increase the resportive and storage capacity of the intestine.Although pyloric caeca vary enormously in size, number and morphology among teleosts, Coccorella is ...
little is known about their effects on the performance of the fish immune system during early life stages and, in particular their importance in the transition from endogenous nutrition (yolk) in the alevin stage to exogenous nutrition in the later fry stage....
