AB An overall synchronization of morphological and physiological ontogenetic events ofthe digestive and antioxidant defence systems occurred in greater amberjack (Serioladumerili) larvae reared under intensive (INT) or semi-intensive (MES) conditions for30 days. The first differentiations of the digestive channel took place at 3–4 dayspost-hatch (dph) (3.6–3.7 mm). Differentiation of the endocrine and exocrine pancreas begun at 4–5 dph (4.0–4.1 mm), coinciding with a decrease in carbohydraseactivity from egg to the onset of exogenous feeding and the maintenance of bilesalt-activated lipase and total alkaline proteases. The first gastric glands and pepsinactivity were evident at 17–20 dph (5.5–6.2 mm) in both fish groups. The appearanceof pyloric caeca had a 5-day delay in the INT compared to the MES larvae (28 versus23 dph). Antioxidant enzyme activities decreased progressively from 7 to 30 dph inboth rearing conditions. However, GPx, SOD at 7 and 18 dph, and GST activities werehigher in the INT larvae. Although both larval groups did not globally differ in somaticgrowth and maturation of digestive function, it seems that the antioxidant defencesystem of MES larvae had to face less oxidative assaults, which may be attributed tolower stressful and more stable culture conditions.
