abstract

the aim of this study was to show the effect of four feeding regimes on thyroid hormones concentrations, growth performance and food coefficient in rainbow trout applied through 4 treatments and 3 replications in winter 2006. in this research, samples of rainbow trout with an initial mean weight (so) 47.19±0.42 used in each rearing unite. fish were fed twice a day ad libitum as follows: treatment a (ta): which was the control treatment; continues feeding, treatment b (tb): 4 weeks of starvation and 5 weeks of re-feeding, treatment c (tc): 3 weeks of starvation and 5 weeks of re-feeding, and treatment 0 (to): 2 weeks of starvation and 5 weeks of re-feeding. indexes like food coefficient ratio (fcr), specific growth rate (sgr), daily food intake and thyroid hormones (t3, t4) were also examined during the experiment. blood samples were taken for thyroid hormones concentration at the beginning of the experiment and at the end of the starvation and every 12 days in re-feeding periods. tb and tc had significant difference (p0.05). there were no significant differences between the treatments in fcr (p>0.05). t3 concentration came down in comparison with the control treatment at the end of the starvation (day 29) (p in there-feeding periods. t4 concentrations of fasting groups were lower than the control group at the end of fasting periods (p<0.05), but t4 trend in re-feeding periods increased. according to the results, different treatments of feeding regimes could affect the thyroid hormones concentrations. fasting periods  reduced  and  re-feeding  periods  increased  thyroid  hormones  concentrations.  tb  and  tc showed more indexes of cg in comparison with ta and to. we concluded that thyroid hormones alone are enough to assess cg and we suggest to use other growth relating physiological elements in different feeding diets and regimes in future studies to complete the evaluation.

Effects of starvation and re-feeding on growth performance and blood plasma of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

The mechanism of compensatory growth in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) was studied in a completely randomized design with four experimental treatments and a control group (no food deprivation) with three replicates. Animals in treatments 1 to 4 were fed with rates of 0, 25, 50 and 75% saturation, respectively for two weeks. Then, the treatments were fed twice a day until saturation level f...

The effect of feeding strategies on growth performance, hematological indices, and biochemical parameters in male rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) broodstocks

This investigation was carried out to determine the effect of feeding strategies on growth performance, biochemical parameters, and hematological indices in male rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) broodstocks. For this purpose, 45 broodstocks with 475.55 ± 54.24 g (mean ± S.D) were divided into three treatments and fed at satiation, restricted feeding (50% of satiation limit), and starvation...

Rainbow Trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss

Rainbow trout are classified as Oncorhynchus mykiss, and as such belong to the same genus as Pacific salmon, and to the family Salmonidae, which includes Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), various trout (Salvelinus sp.), Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus), Arctic grayling (Thymallus arcticus) and whitefish (Coregonus sp.). Rainbow trout are native to areas around the North Pacific Ocean, from souther...

Effect dietary energy levels and feeding rates on growth and body composition of fingerling rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Growth, feed conversion ratio and fillet composition of rainbow trout (initial weight of 9.99±0.109)were investigated in a 6x2 factorial design experiment employing two levels of digestible energy (DE) (2900 and 3500kcal.kg-1) and six feeding rates (1.0%, 2.0%, 3.0%, 4.0%,5.0% of the body weight,(BW) day-1 and to satiation) for 60 days. Specific growth rate (SGR) was highest at 5.0% ration in b...
