Effects of feeding time on growth and deposition of mesenteric fat in juvenile sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax LINNAEUS, 1758

Abstract

        The paper describes the results of the experiment of three feeding schedules on juvenile sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax). Fish were fed either in the morning (7.30) or in the afternoon (15.30) with a single daily meal or a half ration both in the morning and in the afternoon.

        There was no significant difference in growth, mesen­teric fat quantity and hepatosomatic index between juvenile sea bass fed two times a day and those fed a single meal either in the morning or in the afternoon.
