One of the most important criteria in aquaculture is to obtain the maximum utilization of feed and also minimization of the costs. Among the important factors on the utilization of feed is the production of feed and storage conditions. For example, to keep the feed in the most suitable storage conditions will provide to prevent possible oxidation status of the feed. The totox value is one of the values which express the calculated amount of oxidation in the feed. It could be obtained by substituting the measured peroxide amount and p-anisidine values in a formula. The aim of this study, to obtain the totox values in the feed of European sea bass and sea bream species. The feeds were stored under two different storage temperatures (at +4⁰C and + 24⁰C) for 45 days. At the beginning, the values of peroxides at 24 ⁰C and + 4⁰C was obtained as 5.94 ± 0.40 and 6.83 ± 1.23, respectively; p-anisidine values were 6.21 ± 0.22 and 6.42 ± 0.47; totox values were 18.09 ± 0.82 and 20.08 ± 2.98. At the end of the storage days (45th day), the values of peroxides at 24 ⁰C and + 4⁰C was calculated as 8.86 ± 0.95 and 4.91 ± 0.17; p-anisidine values were 7.23 ± 1.22 and 8.08 ± 1.23; totox values were found to be 24.94 ± 1.30 and 17.89 ± 0.33. As a result, there was no statistically significant difference in totox values of feeds stored at different temperatures during the first 30 days. However, feeds stored at + 4 °C showed less totox values (p <0.05) compare to 24°C at the end of the trial (45 days).
