    Notes: The oxygen consumption (02) and ammonia excretion (N) of juvenile and adult common wolffish was measured in culture tanks in the laboratory. The oxygen consumption and ammonia excretion were affected by temperature (C), fish size and feeding rate. For juveniles (0.5 kg; 7C) the diel oxygen consumption rate varied between 37 and 62 mg O2 kg-1 h-1 and ammonia excretion between 2.3 and 5.7 mg N kg-1 h-1. The corresponding rates for adult fish (6.9 kg; 7C) were 29-44 mg O2 kg-1 h-1 and 1.2–3.1 mg N kg-1 h-1. The weight-specific oxygen consumption (mg O2 kg-1 h-1) was described by the following formulae: O2 (7C) = 0.17* W0.83 and O2 (12C) = 0.39 * W0.73 and the corresponding ammonia excretion (mg N kg-1 h-1) by: N(7C) = 0.024 W0.75 and N(12C) = 0.073 W0.60, where W is fish weight in g.

    Notes: Interest in the cultivation of wolffish arose in recent years due to their high-quality meat and fast growth in captivity. In wolffish, an almost juvenile organism, more than 20 mm long, hatches from the egg and can be fed dry pellets just after that. This makes the technology for wolffish breeding much simpler than for other marine fishes, even salmonids. This paper is devoted to common wolffish. Anarhichas lupus L., as the captive breeding of this species has been studied most completely. Experience with broodstock management, insemination, incubation of eggs, start feeding, and growth of rearing juveniles until maturation is described, based mainly on investigations made in Norway and in the Russian Federation. The conditions for obtaining maximum production in the shortest time are assessed. Prospects for using wolffish in aquaculture are briefly discussed.

    Notes: Abstract. Field-caught fry of the common wolfish, Anarhichas lupus L., and the spotted wolffish, A. minor Olafsen, were reared on a commercial dry pellet. Both species experienced the same environmental conditions, including an annual fluctuation in temperature from 5·8 to 13·7°C. The spotted wolffish reached 1·58 kg in 2 years from hatching, more than four times the weight of common wolffish (0·37kg). Analysis showed that for both species the specific growth rate decreased with increasing fish size and increasing temperature. Estimates, based upon optimum conditions, indicate that the spotted wolffish would reach a total wet weight of 5 kg (〈7°C) in 2 years from hatching, and the common wolffish (7–9°C) a total wet weight of 2·5kg within that same period. Female common wolffish matured at a weight above 0·5kg, whereas those of the spotted wolffish matured at a weight above 2·5kg. The spotted wolffish had a significantly higher fillet proportion (∼50%) than the common wolffish (∼45%) and a significantly lower hepato-somatic index (3·7% and 5% respectively).

    Notes: Wolffish, Anarhichas lupus L. has internal fertilization. The eggs are released into water before the beginning of cleavage and stick together in clutches. To develop methods for separating eggs for subsequent incubation, changes during egg swelling and egg shell hardening were observed. Uninseminated eggs did not swell in ovarian fluid, but a perivitelline space formed in sea water because of a partial cortical reaction. In inseminated eggs kept in ovarian fluid, a cortical reaction took place and swelling was caused by elevation of the yolk membrane. Shrinkage of the yolk and absorption of water were observed after inseminated eggs were placed in sea water. Eggs swelled in ovarian fluid diluted by less than 30% sea water showed abnormal cleavage during subsequent development. An effective method for preventing egg stickiness after fertilization was to distribute them in trays with stagnant sea water for at least 5-6 h. Milk was effective for loss of egg adhesiveness at 50% concentration, but some eggs cleaved abnormally and subsequent mortality was high. The influences of ovarian fluid and milk on initial egg development with respect to peculiarities of egg swelling are discussed.

    Notes: The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of fish meal quality on growth, feed conversion and protein utilization in common wolffish. Anarhichas lupus L. The study involved comparison between low-temperature-processed (Norse-LT) and regular fish meal (NorSeaMink) included in dry pellets. Results obtained for these dry feeds were compared with those obtained using moist feed containing squid mantle. The results show better growth rate, feed conversion factor, protein efficiency rate, (PER) and productive protein values (PPVs), when using low-temperature-processed meals compared with regular fish meals in feed to wolffish. No specific differences were found in growth rate and feed conversion factor between fish fed diets containing low-temperature-processed meal or squid mantle. Whole body lipid content was highly influenced by dietary content. No effect of dietary moisture content was demonstrated in this study.

    Notes: Newly hatched autumn-spawned herring larvae Clupea harengus were released in two 2500-m3 outdoor mesocosms and reared over a 2-month period. Hydrographic conditions were similar in the two mesocosms, but the average plankton density was initially more than 10 times higher in mesocosm B compared to mesocosm A (〉11−1v. 〈0.11−1). Half-way through the experiment the feeding conditions reversed with three times higher average densities in mesocosm A than in mesocosm B (〉31−1v.∼11−1). Herring larvae were sampled with a 0.3-m2 two-chambered net twice weekly, and survivors were harvested by draining the mesocosms at the end of the experiment. Otolith growth trajectories of individual larvae were determined by relating radial otolith size with number of increments from the outer edge of the otolith (days before capture). The increment widths during the first 3 weeks after hatching, including the first-check size, were generally wider among larvae from mesocosm B (relatively good initial feeding conditions) than among those from mesocosm A (poor initial feeding conditions). The otolith growth pattern also confirmed that the surviving herring in mesocosm A belonged to the upper size range of larvae in the mesocosm after only 2–3 weeks from hatching; no such trend was found in mesocosm B. In both mesocosms the otolith size-at-age indicated that with the present sampling gear, herring larvae larger than 20–25 mm were underrepresented in the net samples. The information obtained from otolith-size-at-age is compared with other morphometric and biochemical measures of size and condition of larvae obtained throughout the experiment.

    Notes: Standard length, dry mass and RNA : DNA ratio measurements of 3876 Atlantic cod Gadus morhua larvae and juveniles from 26 families of recruit (fish during their first year of spawning) and repeat spawners (fish which were in their subsequent spawning season) reared in two mesocosms (2500 and 4400 m3) under semi-natural conditions were analysed over a period of 10 weeks using microsatellites. Larvae from recruit spawners were significantly longer and heavier at hatch and throughout the 10 weeks. RNA : DNA ratios from recruit spawner offspring were only significantly higher at week 1. The smaller (2500 m3) mesocosm was characterized by low plankton density during the transition from endogenous to exogenous feeding followed by a higher density during the metamorphosis period (weeks 4 and 5), with the reverse pattern evident in the 4400 m3 mesocosm. Patterns of larval growth followed patterns of zooplankton density. Significant differences in RNA : DNA ratios between the mesocosms at all comparable sampling dates were found and within each mesocosm individual fish exhibited a wide range of growth and condition responses under the same environmental conditions. RNA : DNA ratios as a function of size differed in the amount of variability between mesocosms, indicating that the higher food density led to a higher proportion of well-conditioned larvae in the first 3 weeks. Food availability probably has a major role in determining offspring growth and condition, with limited effects due to maternal effects in cases where the broodstock females are approximately of similar size and condition.
