the purpose of this study was to determine changes in the normal flora of the gastrointestinal tract and blood parameters of rainbow trout after taking probiotics and oregano extract. this study was completely randomized design with 5 treatments and 3 replicates each with 40 fry 22 g of the rainbow trout. treatments consisted of basal diet, florfenicol, 0.5%, 1% and of oregano extract, 2% bacto...

the study investigates the possibility of sex determination of rainbow trout (oncorhynchus mykiss)using molecular screen for products monosex of populations. 35 caudal fin tissue samples wereobtained from karaj rainbow trout mature population and then genomic dna was extracted andmarker loci amplified. polymerase chain reaction (pcr) was setup based on two omyfa andomyfatu markers for amplifica...

We evaluated habitat features (i.e., substrate particle size, water depth, water velocity) at spawning redds and randomly selected reference locations (where spawning activity was not apparent) to determine importance of these features to rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) spawning habitat use in the Pere Marquette River, Michigan, 1997 to 1999. Rainbow trout selected areas with small gravel, ...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of Scrophularia striata water extract on the quality and shelf life of the rainbow trout fillet during superchilled storage. Fish samples were treated with 1% and 3% S. striata water extract and then stored at -2°C for 20 days. The samples were analyzed periodically for chemical, microbial and sensory characteristics. Results indicated that ...

in this study, the extract of sea cucumber species, holothuria leucospilota was extracted and its effect studied on the chemical quality rainbow trout fillets packed in vacuum. sea cucumber was extracted using methanol and various concentrations (0, 5/0, 1 and 2%) were prepared. salmon fillets after soaking in the extracts were vacuum packed, chemical tests every 4 days included total volatile ...

This study aimed to assess the adjuvant effect of Montanide ™ ISA 763 AVG and Licorice extract (Glycyrrhiza glabra) on the immune responses and disease resistance of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) immunized with Formalin inactivated whole cells of Lactococcus garvieae vaccine. Rainbow trout with an average initial weight of 72±3 g were randomLy divided into four experimental treatments: no...

--In the southern Appalachian Mountains, native brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis and introduced rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss and brown trout Salmo trutta are at the southern extremes of their distributions, an often overlooked kind of marginal habitat. At a regional scale composed of the states of Virginia and North Carolina, species were found to be distributed along latitudinal and elev...

We hypothesized that body shape differences between Yellowstone cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii bouvieri), rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), and their hybrids may influence swimming ability and thus play an important role in the invasion of nonnative rainbow trout and hybrid trout into native cutthroat trout populations. We reared Yellowstone cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, and recipro...

Rainbow trout native to the McCloud River, California, USA (Oncorhynchus mykiss stonei) are thought to represent a relic, nonanadromous trout adapted to harsh, fragmented environments. These fish, commonly named McCloud River 'redband' trout, survive in their most primitive form in a small, spring-fed stream, Sheepheaven Creek, in the upper McCloud River drainage. Turn-of-the-century fisheries ...

—Water temperature appears to play a key role in determining population persistence of westslope cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus clarkii lewisi, but specific thermal performance and survival criteria have not been defined. We used the acclimated chronic exposure laboratory method to determine upper thermal tolerances and growth optima of westslope cutthroat trout and rainbow trout O. mykiss, a pot...
