Optimum feeding rate is important not only for promoting best growth and feed efficiency, but also for preventing water quality deterioration as a result of excess feeding (Mihelakakis et al. 2002, Wang et al. 2007). In this context, it is useful to know the optimum feeding rate of the cultured species and how feed efficiency and feed consumption. Meagre cultivated in the Mediterranean region is a euryhaline and euritherme marine teleost species (Jiménez et al. 2005). Recently, our studies on meagre have been directed towards establishing its feeding rates from 5 to 20g (Bajandas et al. 2009), weekly feeding frequency (Alvarado el al. 2009) and growth performance at starvation and refeeding (Rodríguez-Rúa et al. 2009). It is necessary to have a better understanding of the optimum feeding rates of this species from 45 to 150 g. Therefore, this study aimed at testing the feeding rates on growth performance and feed efficiency of meagre juveniles reared in seawater tanks.
