The present study aimed to determine the allometric scaling among a selection of morphological traits in European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) to estimate fish body weight. A set of morphological traits (fish body weight, length, height, and width) were directly measured in 146 fish of a recirculating aquaculture system, with body weights ranging from 17.11 to 652.

Fish were kept for 56 days at 20 °C and 24 °C and fed on two diets, with 16% and 20% lipid. At the end of the trial, fish were euthanized at two temperature conditions (0.

For that purpose, two diets were formulated to contain: 20% inclusion level of non-fermented plant ingredients mixture (20Mix) and 20Mix fermented by in SSF conditions (20Mix-SSF). Seabass juveniles (initial body weight: 20.
