Adapting to the wild: the case of aquaculture-produced and released meagres Argyrosomus regius

The performance of juvenile Argyrosomus regius released off the coast of Mallorca Island (Balearic Islands, Spain) was assessed by comparing the body condition, stable isotope signature and stomach contents of aquaculture-produced A. regius that had been released, fished and returned by fishermen af...

During the first 40 days of the experiment, the condition index (KR) of the returned A. regius and the unfed A. regius followed the same decreasing trend. Thereafter, the KR values of the returned A. regius were significantly higher than those of the unfed A. regius but never reached the values of well-fed A. regius.
