Popis: Members of wolf fish family Anarhichadidae have emerged as potential cold-water marine aquaculture species. This study examined growth performance and osmoregulation in juvenile wolf eel (Anarrhichthys ocellatus) held in a series of dilute salinities (30, 14, 9, and 6 ‰) over an 8-week trial. At the conclusion of the growth study, fish were sampled for analysis of gill and intestine enzyme activity, plasma ion content, and muscle moisture. Growth rate remained positive in all salinities throughout the 8-week trial. Specific growth rate was maintained above 3.0% mass day
