Objective
A sustainable production of turbot will be dependent on a year-round supply of juveniles reared in intensive land-based systems at high densities. To effectively exploit such systems it is necessary to obtain detailed knowledge on the impact of key rearing factors (temperature, photoperiod and water quality) on growth performance, food conversion efficiency, age at first maturity and fish welfare. The current proposal will, through a series of small- and large-scale experiments, provide the turbot aquaculture industry with a strategy that will significantly improve growth, reduce maturation and elucidate the impact of critical water quality parameters. It is foreseen that this will reduce production cost per kg market sized fish. In addition the current proposal will investigate new processing methods especially designed for turbot, where the aim is to improve fish yield and flesh quality. The project will investigate and develop: Optimal temperatures for growth throughout the ongrowing phase. -Production advantages of step-wise temperature regulation as compared to a constant temperature regime. Potential benefits on growth from using extended photoperiods. -Potential effects of environmental manipulations in the early juvenile phase on subsequent growth and maturation in the commercial ongrowing phase. -Water quality requirements of juvenile turbot reared at high densities. Improved processing methods aiming at improved production yield and flesh quality. This project is submitted under the thematic programme """"Food Quality and Safety"""", area 5.4.6: Safer and environmentally friendly production methods and technologies and healthier foodstuffs. A priority object is to develop lower input farming systems (aquaculture) for delivering safer, healthier and varied foodstuff that respond to consumer expectations. In response to this objective the following project aims at the development of new and sustainable production systems for enhanced production of turbot, cove"
