These references are great and just what this list is all about – sharing info. I am wondering what the growth rate observed was in the “optimum” conditions of salinity? I have 10 cb ’00 DBT hatchlings right now purchased from five different sources. All are kept in fresh water with other species. They are all growing like crazy! I don’t think I would want them to grow any faster. They want to eat constantly, though. Do any studies indicate problems later in juvenile DBTs kept in fresh water even if their early growth rate seems strong? Todd allman_p wrote:
