Comments: | Reported as being cultured (Ref. 93671). Fertilized eggs were introduced to test a possible use of this species (widely cultivated in Japan) in aquaculture instead of the native Scophtalmus maximus which is not profitable. Preliminary results have been positive. Also Ref. 13686. Ref: Spedicato, M.T., G. Giorgetti, G. Lembo, G. Bertoja, G. Bovo and G. Ceshia, 1993 |
