Feed intake and growth were studied in groups of turbot fed daily rations of 0.25%, 0.38% and 1% of body weight day(-1) for 41 days. Then, all groups were fed 1% of body weight day(-1) for the next 34 days. The two restricted rations resulted in reduced growth rates (30% and 60% of fully fed control...
