Abstract
The meagre (Argyrosomus regius), a farmed fish in Mediterranean countries, seasonally migrates from offshore areas to estuaries for reproduction. During the first two years of life, the meagre evidences a certain grade of euryhalinity by staying in brackish waters close to the shore. The aim of the present study was to establish if fingerling growth in brackish water is improved compared to seawater, where current culture procedures are conducted. Three-month-old fingerlings were maintained for 45 days under two different salinity regimens (12 and 39 ppt). Several growth parameters as well as osmoregulatory and metabolic variables were assessed. Specific growth rate and hepatosomatic index values revealed that fingerlings performed better in brackish waters (12 ppt) compared to 39 ppt. This study contributes to optimizing meagre rearing conditions, thereby supporting the role of A. regius in aquaculture diversification.
