TL;DR: Juvenile Dover sole, Solea solea, were weaned from a live food on to a casein-based particulate diet flavoured with flesh of the mussel, Mytilus edulis, and the rate of growth and survival over a seventy-seven day period was essentially the same on either of the flavoured diets.
Abstract: Juvenile Dover sole, Solea solea, were weaned from a live food, Artemia salina nauplii, on to a casein-based particulate diet flavoured with flesh of the mussel, Mytilus edulis. These fish would not accept an unflavoured casein-based diet but readily ate the diet flavoured with either mussel flesh or a mixture of pure chemicals whose composition was based on an analysis of the low-molecular weight fraction of mussel flesh. The rate of growth and survival over a seventy-seven day period was essentially the same on either of the flavoured diets. The active constituent in the mixture of pure chemicals was identified as glycine betaine for fish of wet weight exceeding 50g while glycine betaine with certain L-amino-acids was required for fish of about 2.5 g wet weight. These results are discussed in relation to the known feeding behaviour and food preferences of the wild Dover sole.

TL;DR: Of the compounds tested, many isolates, particularly those recovered from the hindgut/rectum, degraded p-nitrophenyl-β-N-acetylglucosaminide, chitin and collagen, likely that such organisms may contribute to nutritional processes within Dover sole.
Abstract: There was a progressive increase in the size of the aerobic heterotrophic bacterial populations along the gastro-intestinal tract of farmed Dover sole. Moreover, higher counts were recorded in juvenile than in adult animals. Thus, in juvenile fish, 5.2 × 105, 8.0 × 105 and 9.8 × 106 aerobic heterotrophs/g were recovered from the stomach/foregut, midgut and hindgut/rectum, respectively. In adult fish, comparative samples revealed the presence of only 3.0 × 104, 7.0 × 104 and 2.3 × 105 bacteria/g, respectively. There bacteria were equated with Acinetobacter, Alcaligenes, Enterobacteriaceae representatives, Flavobacterium, Micrococcus, Photobacterium, Staphylococcus and Vibrio. Of the compounds tested, many isolates, particularly those recovered from the hindgut/rectum, degraded p-nitrophenyl-β-N-acetylglucosaminide, chitin and collagen. Consequently, it is likely that such organisms may contribute to nutritional processes within Dover sole.

TL;DR: It was found that growth rates of Dover sole larvae were significantly increased by the addition of ω 3 or 18:3 ω3 fatty acids to the yeasts used to feed Artemia .
