Comparison of results in Turbot R & D to November 1978, with previous performance forecasts 1975 & 1977.

Summary

Early White Fish Authority experience of farming marine flatfish in sea cages was gained with plaice (1969 – 1973). From 1971 attention was increasingly turned to turbot, a species considered to be more attractive to farm commercially (Refs 1-3) and a number of small scale growth trials were performed with wild origin stock in order to obtain basic growth and husbandry data. This report has been produced from a scanned original and may therefore contain some formatting and other inaccuracies. In cases where this affects the technical content, a paper copy of the original report can still be obtained from Seafish.
