    Notes: Sexual dimorphism in growth and maturation of individually tagged turbot (n= 421), Scophthalmus maximus Rafinesque, was studied in a long-lasting (20 months) growth experiment with four temperature regimes. The influence of onset of puberty and subsequent maturation on growth was evaluated. There were no initial size differences, but the final weight of females was larger than that of males at all temperature regimes, except at the lowest temperature. Surplus energy (sum of increase in somatic weight and gonad weight) in females was on average greater than in males from 8 months prior to first spawning. Significant growth (as specific growth rate, SGR) differences between maturing and immature fish were detected from the age of 9 months post hatch. Maturing females had the highest growth rate and reached the largest size (1.8 kg in 20 months), whereas male body weights reached a plateau and levelled off around 1.0 kg. To optimize production characteristics in turbot aquaculture and achieve more homogeneous growth, methods should be developed to produce all-female broods.

    Notes: The combined effect of temperature and photoperiod on the growth of juvenile Atlantic halibut Hippoglossus hippoglossus (initial weight 11.6 g) was investigated under different temperature (6 °C and 12 °C) and photoperiod (continuous light and simulated natural photoperiod) combinations by studying the effects on fish weight, specific growth rate (SGR), feed consumption (F%), feed conversion (FCE) and oxygen consumption and ammonia excretion under routine and fasting conditions. SGR was greater at the higher temperature, and growth was faster under continuous light than under natural photoperiod, irrespective of temperature, SGRs being 0.83% and 0.98%, and 1.61% and 1.71% at 6 °C and 12 °C respectively. The weight data revealed a significant interaction between temperature and light, and provided evidence of a stronger growth-enhancing effect of continuous light at the lower temperature. F% increased with temperature but was independent of photoperiod, whereas FCE was higher among fish exposed to continuous light, irrespective of temperature. Independently of photoperiod, oxygen consumption and ammonia excretion increased with temperature, but the differences in these rates in relation to photoperiod became more pronounced at the lower temperature, where continuous light gave the highest rates. Higher oxygen consumption during darkness suggested that light may suppress activity in halibut. It was proposed that reduced activity and anabolic effects of photoperiod contribute to explain the increased growth and growth efficiency in fish subjected to continuous light.

    Notes: The effect of size and acclimation period to full-strength sea water was investigated using the mortality, growth, chloride cell proliferation and plasma Na concentration in four size groups (0.03-1.6 g mean initial weight) of mixed-parentage, sex-reversed, all-male fry and fingerlings of Oreochromis spilurus spilurus Günter obtained from University of Stirling. The fish were transferred from fresh water to sea water (36.6%0) through a continuous salinity increase during a 48, 72 or 120 h acclimation period. Survival was high in all groups, although the smallest fish (0.03 g) showed significantly higher mortality than the larger fish. The acclimation regime had no effect on growth rate, but 120 h acclimation gave highest final weight in the newly released group. Regardless of acclimation period, size and plasma Na concentration during the acclimation period, the plasma Na level stabilized within 12 h after full salinity in the two largest size groups. Ovoid voluminous chloride cells proliferated in all groups during the acclimation period, and numbers stabilized with stable salinity. It is concluded in this study that O. spilurus spilurus can successfully be acclimated to sea water with a gradual continuous acclimation period of 48 h, even as newly released fry (0.03 g). However, an acclimation period of 120 h gave the highest final weight for this size group.

    Notes: The effect of thermal history (11°C and 14°C) on growth of juvenile halibut, Hippoglossus hippoglossus (L.) (initial mean weight 140 g, n= 254), was studied. Fish were divided into four groups, two groups remaining at constant temperature (C11, Cl4), and fish in the other groups being transferred from either 11°C to 14°C (F11:14) or from 14°C to 11°C (F14:11). Twenty fish in each tank were tagged (PIT) at the start of the experiment. The final mean weights were significantly higher in F14:11 (384 g) than in F11:14 (308 g) and C14 (317 g). Further, F14:11 had significantly higher length growth rate (SLGR) than both F11:14 and C14. No significant differences between the experimental groups within each temperature (F14.11 vs. C11, and F11:14 vs. C14) were, however, found. Growth rate (SGR) declined rapidly with increasing size (from 1.4–1.8% day−1 to 0.4–0.8% day−1). It is concluded that the optimal temperature for growth of juvenile halibut declines with increasing size. Thus, as halibut grow larger, the temperature should be reduced to take advantage of this change in optimal temperature for growth.

    Notes: Growth rate of tagged juvenile turbot was significantly influenced by the interaction of temperature and fish size. The results suggest the optimum temperature for growth of juvenile turbot in the size range 25–75 g is between 16 and 19°C. Optimal temperature for growth decreased rapidly with increasing size, and is between 13 and 16°C for 100 g turbot. Although individual growth rates varied highly at all times within the temperature treatments, significant size rank correlations were maintained during the experimental period. The study confirms that turbot exhibit ontogenetic variation in temperature optimum, which might partly explain different spatial distribution of juvenile and adult turbot in ocean waters.

    Notes: Growth rate of individually tagged juvenile halibut was influenced significantly by the interaction of temperature and fish size. The results suggest an optimum temperature for growth of juvenile halibut in the size range 5–70 g between 12 and 15° C. Overall growth rate was highest at 13° C (1·62% day −1). At c. 5 g at the beginning of the experiment, fish at 16° C had the highest growth rate (3·2% day −1), but reduced this rate as they grew bigger. At 9 and 11°p C, growth rates were equal or only slightly lower during the later stages of the experiment, while the fish at 6° C showed significantly lower overall growth rate (0·87% day−1). Optimal temperature for growth decreased rapidly with increasing size, indicating an ontogenetic reduction in optimum temperature for growth. Moreover, a more flattened parabolic regression curve between growth and temperature as size increased indicated reduced temperature dependence with size. Although individual growth rates varied significantly at all times within the experimental temperatures, significant size rank correlations were maintained during the experiment. This indicated an early establishment of a stable size hierarchy within the fish groups. Haematocrit was highest at the highest temperature while Na+/K+-ATPase activity was inversely related to temperature. There was no difference in plasma Na+, Cl− and K+ concentrations among the temperature groups.

    Notes: Growth rate of individually tagged medium–sized (249±6·9 g) juvenile halibut was 18% lower when medium sized fish were reared alone (treatment Mm) as compared with rearing with either large/dominant (382±12·1 g) (Ml) or small/subordinate (158±3·1 g) (Ms) conspecifics. The coefficient of variation of weight of medium–sized fish increased with weight in both the Mm and the Ml group whereas it was stable in the Ms group. Size rank correlation between initial and final weight was highest in the Mm group and lowest in Ms. A negative rank correlation was found also between initial weight and overall growth rate for the Ms treatment groups but not the other groups. It is hypothesized that interactions between similar–sized individuals in the Mm treatment group had an inhibiting effect on growth as social hierarchies were being resolved.

    Notes: Growth performance of a high latitude (Norway) population of juvenile turbot Scophthalmus maximus, was superior to that of two other lower latitude populations (Scotland, France) especially at 18° and 22° C. Overall these results lend some support to the hypothesis of countergradient variation in growth. The Norwegian population had the highest estimated temperature optimum for growth (Topt.G, ±S.E.) (23·0±0·9°C) and food conversion efficiency (Topt.Ec) (17·5±0·3), followed by the French (Topt.G 21·1±1·0; Topt.Ec, 16·7±0·1) population, whereas the Scottish population had the lowest optimum (Topt.G, 19·6±0·6; Topt Ec, 16·5±0·1°C). These results have two major implications: firstly, for turbot culture, particularly in selection work focusing on growth performance; secondly, if countergradient variation in growth performance takes place within a species one cannot assume automatically that one set of physiological parameters, in this case growth-related parameters, is satisfactory to predict growth for a species throughout its range as different populations might show a difference in response towards different physiological parameters.

    Notes: Turbot Scophthalmus maximus is the focus of a rapidly expanding aquaculture industry, while at the same time wild catches appear to be in decline. As a preliminary investigation into the effects of hatchery rearing, genetic variation at three polymorphic microsatellite loci was assessed in two wild populations and two farmed strains of turbot, from Ireland and Norway. Although a considerable loss of rare alleles was observed in the Irish farmed strain, no statistically significant reductions were found in mean heterozygosity or allelic diversity in farmed strains compared to wild populations. Significant genetic heterogeneity was found between wild and farmed samples from each country but not between the two wild populations. Genetic differentiation between the farmed strains was presumed to be caused by drift in the hatcheries. The utility of these particular microsatellite loci in comparing these samples and the importance of molecular genetic testing of farmed strains is stressed.
