Conclusions: (i) Under a biological/physiological perspective the significant relationships found between egg BCs and embryo/larva success in common dentex highlight the Objectives: This review presents an overview on some of recent researches carried out in IRTA and University of Salzburg (2004-2010) to address this bottleneck through correlating egg biochemical contents (BC) to embryo/larva success in a marine teleost considered as new species for Mediterranean aquaculture. Target species: Besides production cost reduction and market enlargement, species diversification is one of the main strategies to ensure future expansion of aquaculture industry. A series of biological and commercial characteristics make the common dentex, Dentex dentex, a highly suitable species to enter mariculture systems as a new species to supplement the intensive sparids production and to increase diversification. Conclusions: (i) Under a biological/physiological perspective the significant relationships found between egg BCs and embryo/larva success in common dentex highlight the importance of egg composition during the initial events of embryonic/larval development. The results obtained present a series of new relationships (either in agreement or against previous findings) that deserve further investigation to define their physiological ground. (ii) Under a more applied perspective these relationships indicate a potential use of egg BCs, as bio-markers, to predict egg quality in aquaculture. These markers can also be used as molecular probes to assess the improvements in broodstock management.
