The present study defines the feeding capacity and the point of no return of turbot larvae subjected to starvation at three different temperatures. Larvae subjected to starvation at 13, 15 and 18 degree Centigrade were fed for the first time on days 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 after hatching. At these temperatures, death by starvation occurs at days 11, 10 and 9, respectively. The point of no return, defined as the moment at which the larval feeding incidence is reduced to half its maximum initial value, occurs after 8.0, 8.1 and 6.9 days at 13, 15 and 18 degree Centigrade, respectively.
