The effect of temperature and fish size on growth of juvenile lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus L.)

Abstract

This study demonstrated that temperatures 7, 10 and 13 °C for weight classes 25 – 200 g induces an overall increase in growth for juvenile lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus L.)relative to that of temperatures of ambient and 4 °C. An ontogenetic shift in temperature preference for growth with increasing size was observed.
