Survival, growth and physiological responses of juvenile Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus, Temminck & Schlegel, 1846) exposed to different dissolved oxygen concentrations and stocking densities

The aim of this study was to determine to what extent juvenile Japanese flounder can adapt to different stocking densities in captivity and to examine whether growth and some physiological parameters critical for welfare might be affected by different dissolved oxygen levels. Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) juveniles (initial weight 1.27 ± 0.04 g/fish) were reared at five stocking densities (500, 1,000, 1,500, 2,000, 2,500 ind/m3) and...
