What is the salinity and temperature required to raise turbot?

The optimum growth temperature is 14-17℃, and its maximum tolerance to salinity is 40‰; the minimum is 12‰.

Turbot is a cold-water fish in Northern Europe, and it has strict requirements on seawater parameters such as temperature. The highest lethal temperature of turbot is 28-30℃, and the lowest lethal temperature is 1-2℃; the highest growth temperature is 21-27℃, and the lowest growth temperature is 7-8℃.

In the natural environment, turbot is carnivorous in feeding habits. Juveniles feed on crustaceans, while adults prey on small fish, shrimp, etc. Under artificial breeding conditions, they are mainly fed with high-energy granular feed after domestication.

Additional information:

Turbot is mainly produced on the eastern coast of the Atlantic Ocean. It is a valuable low-temperature economic fish and one of the unique and precious fish species on the northeastern Atlantic coast.

The natural distribution area extends from Iceland in the north to the European coast near Morocco in the south. It is relatively produced in the waters near the North Sea, the Baltic Sea, Iceland and the Scandinavian Peninsula.

Because of its graceful body shape when swimming, just like a butterfly in the water, it is also called "butterfly fish". Due to its rich nutritional value and delicious taste, it is deeply loved by consumers and is given the reputation of "turbot" by consumers.

1. Water temperature: Turbot is a cold-water fish that tolerates a temperature range of 3 to 23°C. The suitable temperature for breeding is 10 to 20°C. It grows faster at a water temperature of 14 to 19°C. The best water temperature for breeding is 15 to 18°C.

2. Salinity: Turbot farming can adapt to a wide range of salinity, with a tolerant salinity range of 12 to 40, a suitable salinity range of 20 to 32, and an optimal salinity range of 25 to 30.

3. Turbot is a bottom-dwelling fish, so the light should not be too strong, 500-1500 Lux is appropriate. The light should be uniform, soft, not glaring, and comfortable. The light rhythm should be the same as natural light.

The water temperature for Mandarin fish is 20-22 degrees, fresh water, and salt is 0.005 degrees;

The water temperature for turbot is 20-24 degrees, and the salinity is around 1.018;

The water temperature for the grouper is around 20°C (a thermostat should be used in winter), and the salinity is 24-26%;

Flower dragon temperature: 18~19 degrees, salinity is 21; change the water once a week.

Turbot, 20-24 degrees, salinity around 1.018

Salinity 20 and temperature 15 ensure good breeding

Can turbot be kept?

Turbot can be raised. You can use the existing shrimp pond with a slight modification to raise turbot. The water depth must be about 1.5 meters, the water source must be sufficient, the water quality must be fresh and pollution-free, and it must have good water inlet and outlet facilities.
