Note(s): Nursery and growout trials of hatchery-raised southern nounder, Paralichthys lethostigma, were conducted in tanks and raceways using recirculatiiig systems. Three-month-old juveniles were stocked at 0.5/L in 800-L round tanks and raised in sea water for three months before being acclimated to freshwater and transferred to a 24-ton raceway, where they remained until they were 14 months old. Fish were exposed to salinities ranging from 0-32 ppt and temperature ranging from 17-30 ͦC. Southern flounder grew to an average 169 g (±68.92 SD) and 25.06 cm (±4.30 SD) in 420 days ( 14 months after hatching).
