Abstract
Turbot (Scophthalmus maximus (L.)) is regarded as a good quality product that enjoys widespread acceptance and is therefore a popular choice for marine aquaculture in Europe. This study examines the potential and feasibility of the artificial cultivation of turbot in the Baltic Sea region. It takes into consideration both commercial farming and the implementation of artificial reproduction for stock enhancement programs. With regard to the latter, it discusses observed short-term trends towards reducing species catches in ICES 22-32 subdivisions as well as trends in hydrological process dynamics during the spawning process (especially low water salinity, which decreases the natural reproduction efficiency). The article also considers the potential of the research performed in 2018-2019 at the AtlantNIRO research facility on the development of cultivation techniques for turbot larvae. The findings demonstrate the possibility of cultivating turbot larvae under artificial conditions and are important for the development of marine aquaculture in the Kaliningrad region of Russia, since they can lead to the introduction of new fish species for farming in the future.
