| Abstract |
O-group wild turbot (S. maximus (L.)) were used in a number of feeding experiments designed to assess the usefulness of readily available species of industrial fish as feed for the ongrowing stage of cultivation (10-500 g). Sprats (Sprattus sprattus (L.)) and sandeels (Ammodytes marinus Raitt) were the most successful in that feeding rates of 2% live weight per feed gave conversion efficiencies which were generally better than 3:1. A regular regime of two feeds a day should give growth rates approaching 2% per day resulting in an ongrowing period of about 200 days at 16 °C. |
