The growth and substrate preference of collected wild juvenile
halibut under culture conditions were investigated. The size of
the collected fish conformed well with year class data from earlier
studies.
Halibut growth in nature is slower than for i.e. cultured salmon
up to the III-group. The present study showed, however, that halibut
can grow much faster in culture than what is normal in nature.
The substrate studies were contradictory in terms of growth and
will have to be extended. The fish without substrate did, however,
develope a dark coloration on the underside.
