Evaluation of the skeletal quality in Senegalese sole (Solea Senegalensis, Kaup) reared under intensive vs extensive conditions

Senegalese sole is distributed along the Mediterranean and southwestern Europe, reaching a market price of 20-25 €/kg - Promising species for aquaculture diversification - Control and intensification of culture is reasonably achieved - The high incidence of skeletal anomalies in intensively reared fish represents a constraint to commercial production - Samples from Portugal and Greece were analyzed towards identifying skeletal differences due to rearing conditions
