High supplementation levels of corn gluten meal in turbot diets
In a study, corn gluten meal exerted negative effects on the intestinal health on turbot, including the induction of enteritis in the distal intestine tissue.

Biofilter inoculation in recirculating aquaculture systems
Biological filters are essential parts of recirculating aquaculture systems that transform toxic fish compounds such as ammonium and nitrite into less-harmful nitrate. The authors tested the convenience and efficiency of three methods for the initial inoculation of aerobic biofilters.

Turbot growth performance on soy-based feeds
Turbot are typically fed diets containing 45 to 65 percent fishmeal. In a study that gave turbot feed with 40 percent soy protein concentrate, the fish had decent growth and excellent survival.

Hyperintensive systems produce turbot, spotted wolffish
The development of land-based, hyperintensive farming systems for fish and shellfish production could quickly expand in industrialized countries.
