“…The development of culture techniques suitable for this species has been ongoing for many years (Fairchild, 2010; Litvak, 1999). Larval rearing protocols have already been successfully developed (Ben Khemis, Audet, Fournier, & De La Noüe, 2003; Ben Khemis, De La Noue, & Audet, 2000; Litvak, 1999; Litvak, Zadmajid, & Butts, 2020; Martinez‐Silva, Audet, Winkler, & Tremblay, 2018) and metamorphosed fish can be weaned onto formulated diets (Bélanger et al, 2018; Butts, Ben Khemis, & Litvak, 2015; Fairchild, Rennels, Howell, & Wells, 2007; Lee & Litvak, 1996a, 1996b). However, postmetamorphic mortality rate of winter flounder reared in the hatchery is still high and pigmentation of juveniles can be poorly developed.…”
