Research topics from publications: Photoperiods affect growth, food intake and physiological metabolism of juvenile European Sea Bass (Dicentrachus labrax L.). Representative work: Photoperiodism is a vital environmental factor that regulates the growth, development, metabolism, and reproduction of aquatic organisms. Here, we examined how different photoperiods (0L: 24D, 8L: 16D, 12L: 12D, 16L: 8D, 24L: 0D) with a full spectrum LED, influence growth, feeding, digestive enzymes, and antioxidant enzymes in juvenile European Sea Bass (Dicentrachus labrax L.). Specifically, a total of 300 fishes (body length: 13.5 ± 0.54 cm, bodyweight: 45 ± 5.3 g) were randomly divided into 5 different light treatment groups. Sampling and analysis were conducted after 60 days of the experiment. Results revealed significantly higher weight gain, specific growth rate, and daily growth index
