“…The D. cuneata egg diameter is 827 lm, the smallest of all the marine fish species farmed in Europe, although very close to that reported for another pleuronectiforme of the genus Paralichthys (Rosas et al 1999). Lagardère and Aboussouan (1981) reported that the newly hatched larva length in the wild is 1.57 mm.…”

The wedge sole is a target species in the fisheries of the Gulf of Cadiz (Spain). Having reared them to commercial size, we have studied reproduction and breeding in captivity of the wedge sole in this work here. The breeders adapt easily to captivity, and they can spawn in less than 1 year in captivity. The relative fecundity is relatively high, 1.06-2.33 Á 10 6 eggs kg À1 per spawning season (mean 1.6 ± 0.1). Larval SGR is high, 7.2 ± 0.2% day À1 (range 5.8-9.1), similar to other cultured flatfish species. In 1 year, some individuals reach market size and can release eggs, registering SGRs of 1.39-1.66% day À1 (mean 1.56 ± 0.01). This species presents some very different characteristics with respect to other farmed flatfishes (turbot, halibut and Senegal sole, mainly), so that it is necessary to develop new techniques to optimise its cultivation. In the present work, the first results are presented on the biology of the wedge sole in captivity.

“…The wedge sole eggs measured 828 lm, being the smallest diameter of all marine fishes commercially cultured in Europe, though very close to that of the tropical flounder Paralichthys tropicus Ginsburg (Rosas et al 1999;Herrera et al 2008). The egg diameter varied during the spawning season, reaching its highest values at 60-80 spawning days (Fig.…”

In this work, the wedge sole (Dicologoglossa cuneata) spawning under a natural thermocycle has been studied. The spawning parameters were similar to those of other flatfish in captivity, the relative fecundity being very high (1.7 ± 0.1 9 10 6 eggs kg female -1 per spawning season). The percentage of floating eggs decreased with time and was directly related to egg diameter, daily relative fecundity and fertilization rate. Nevertheless, the hatching rate variations were not correlated to any other spawning parameter. The temperature range during the spawning season was very wide (11-21°C) though the largest spawns occurred between 12 and 16°C. The natural temperature cycle influenced wedge sole egg production, the winter temperature minimum indicating the onset of spawning, but the variations in the reproductive season did not appear to affect the daily egg production. Future research should focus on the photoperiod and its interaction with temperature as key factor for spawning.

“…Berlinsky et al (1997) induced the ovulation of P. dentatus with HCG (total dose for ovulation equal to 500 IU kg −1 ) and CPE (total dose for ovulation equal to 16 mg kg −1 ). Ovulation of P. tropicus was obtained with HCG 2000 IU kg −1 (Rosas et al 1999). Previous experiments with Brazilian flounder were carried on with higher doses of hormone as well.…”

“…Smigielski (1975) induced the spawning of wild captured Paralichthys dentatus (L.) using CPE, and later Watanabe, Ellis, Ellis and Feeley (1998) successfully obtained fertilized eggs of this species with LHRHa. Human chorionic gonadotropin was used to induce ovulation of Paralichthys tropicus (Ginsburg) (Rosas, Arana, Cabrera, Millán & Jory 1999). Gonadotropin‐releasing hormone analogue has been used with success to induce the spawning of Paralichthys lethostigma (Smith, Mcvey, Jenkins, Denson, Heyward, Sullivan & Berlinsky 1999) and Solea solea (L.) (Bertotto, Francescon, Richard, Libertini & Barbaro 2006).…”

Mature Brazilian £ounders Paralichthys orbignyanus were captured in coastal southern Brazil and their reproduction in captivity was studied. Brazilian £ounder will spawn naturally in captivity when the water temperature is around 23 1C and14 h of light is provided daily. Females were induced for ovulation and hand stripping using human chorionic gonadotropin, luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analogue or carp pituitary extract. There was no need to inject males, as running milt was observed during the spawning season. Fertilization and hatching rates were above 80% independent of the hormone used. Notochord length at hatching was 2.18 AE 0.07 mm for larvae hatching from naturally spawned eggs. Larvae were reared in salt water (30^35 g L À 1 ) at 24 1C and under continuous illumination. Larviculture was with green water (Tetraselmis tetrathele 50 Â 10 4 cells mL À 1 ). Rotifers (10^20 ind mL À 1 ) were o¡ered as ¢rst food 3 days after hatching and gradually replaced by Artemia nauplii (0.51 0 ind mL À 1 ). Larvae settled to the bottom 20 days after hatching and completed metamorphosis within a week after that. The total length for newly metamorphosed juveniles was 12.9 AE 2.2 mm and the mean survival was 44.8%. The results demonstrate the feasibility of producing Brazilian £ounder ¢ngerlings for stock enhancement or grow-out purposes.
