Abstract
Age I winter flounder, Pseudopleuronectes americanus, weighing 40–100 g were fed chopped bivalve siphons (Mya arenaria) ad libitum. Sixteen fish were held at 4 temperatures (12, 16, 20 and 24 C) and two salinities (20 and 30‰), with two fish per regime. Only 4 fish held at 12 C and 16C in 20‰ salinity had a normal growth rate, and the conversion efficiency for these fish ranged from 13.9–19.0%.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
