Abstract
Food conversion efficiency and growth of juvenile turbot Scophthalmus maxim us, reared under temperatures of 14, 18 and 22 degrees C, were found to be higher in one experiment (7-70 g fish) in a higher latitude (Norway) strain than lower latitude (France and Scotland) strains. In a second study (20-1 50 g fish), food intake, food conversion efficiency and growth were higher in higher latitude (Iceland and Norway) compared with a lower latitude (Fra nce) strain.
