Feeding experiments in 15 and 30 "/W salinity reveal similar food conversion rates of Nereis succinea and N. diversicolor at high temperature (15 "C). At low temperature (5 'C) food conversion of N. diversicolor is more efficient. A salinity increase from 15 to 30 '/(m S facilitates better food conversion in both species leading to an increased energy content (exception: N. succinea at 5 "C and 30 "/<V* S). N. diversicolor exhibits better food conversion at low temperature, generally higher production rates, lower gross energy demand for production and a lower maintenance metabolism at 15 "/U& S in comparison with N.
