Abstract
Lordosis in reared sea bass was previously related either to the absen ce of swimbladder, or to bad or late inflation of this organ when dama ges were irreversible. Our results prove that these explanations are i nsufficient and that similar deformations may occur frequently in fry with functional swimbladder during the early weaning phase, if current s in tanks are higher than 10 cm s(-1).
