Gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) is being farmed in Turkey mostly in cages in the Aegean coast from Çeşme to Fethiye. There is also a new facility that utilizes land-based re-circulation technology in Çanakkale. Stocking densities, growth, maturation and FCR, water quality, diseases and management are examined in the different types of production techniques.
