Abstract The paper reviews recent progress in larviculture of Atlantic cod and Atlantic halibut in different experimental enclosed seawater systems in Norway. More than 240,000 cod juveniles have been produced in a 270,000 m 3 seawater pond. However, very promising production results of cod have been achieved in plastic enclosures with volumes > 100 m 3 . Halibut juveniles have been successfully produced in plastic enclosures and tanks by using natural zooplankton as food. The enclosure technique could be adapted to commercial scale production of juvenile halibut. However, scaling up experiments are necessary.
