RNA and DNA content of seabass (Dicentrarchus labra.x) larvae were determined from day 10 to day 60 after hatching in an aquaculture facility. Our results show a two-phase modulation of the RNA/DNA ratio throughout seabass larvae development. From day 10 after hatching there is an increase in the RNA/DNA ratio reaching maximal values at day 30 of age. Then, the RNA/DNA ratio decreased reaching minimal values at day 60 after hatching. These results are consistent with a high rate of protein synthesis during the first 30 days of seabass development compared with the rest of the developmental period studied. The results are compared with that of otolith growth carried out for the same species larvae

S'ha determinat el contingut de DNA (àcid desoxiribonucleic) i de RNA (àcid ribonucleic) en larves de llobarro (Dicentrarchus labrax) d'edats compreses entre 10 i 60 dies de vida, procedents d'una planta de cultiu. Els resultats obtinguts mostren dues fases diferenciades de desenvolupament d'aquestes larves, basades en la relaci6 RNA/DNA avaluada. S'observa un augment de la proporci6 de RNNDNA des del dia 10 fins el dia 30 de vida, per a decréixer a continuació, trobant els valors mínims en les larves de 60 dies de vida
