Turbot is one of the better tasting fish species and is a luxury fish species. Wild specimens are not optimal all year round and are very variable in price. So cultivation offers the outcome. The turbot is a flatfish that can grow up to 1 meter in size and can weigh 25 to 30Kg with an age of 25 years. The turbot is increasingly grown, that is, raised under controlled conditions. Farmed turbot is gaining popularity. There are a number of reasons for this. First, this fish is readily available and the price is stable all year round. Farmed turbot from Spain is often larger compared to the Dutch variant and can weigh more than 5 kg. Farmed turbot is also available alive.
