摘要

Abstract

Limited information has been available about the influence of loading density on the performances of Scophthalmus maximus

especially in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS). In this study

turbot (13.84±2.74 g; average weight±SD) were reared at four different initial densities (low 0.66

medium 1.26

sub-high 2.56

high 4.00 kg/m2) for 10 weeks in RAS at 23±1°C. Final densities were 4.67

7.25

14.16

and 17.47 kg/m2

respectively

which translate to 82

108

214

and 282 percent coverage of the tank bottom. Density had both negative and independent impacts on growth. The final mean weight

specific growth rate (SGR)

and voluntary feed intake significantly decreased and the coefficient of variation (CV) of final body weight increased with increase in stocking density. The medium and sub-high density groups did not differ significantly in SGR

mean weight

food conversion rate (FCR)

feed intake

blood parameters

and digestive enzymes. The protease activities of the digestive tract at pH 7

8.5

and 10 were significantly higher for the highest density group

but tended to be lower (not significantly) at pH 4 and 8.5 for the lowest density group. The intensity of protease activity was inversely related to feed intake at the different densities. Catalase activity was higher (but not significantly) at the highest density

perhaps because high density started to induce an oxidative effect in turbot. In conclusion

turbot can be cultured in RAS at a density of less than 17.47 kg/m2. With good water quality and no feed limitation

initial density between 1.26 and 2.56 kg/m2 (final: 7.25 and 14.16 kg/m2) would not negatively affect the turbot cultured in RAS. For culture at higher density

multi-level feeding devices are suggested to ease feeding competition.
