this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of beta plus probiotic, a mixture of bacillius leicheniformic and bacillius subtilis , on the growth performance and intestinal microbial flora of caspian trout ( salmo caspius ). a basal diet was formulated and supplemented with beta plus at 0, 0.5 and 1 g kg -1 , leading to three experimental diets. each experimental diet was randomly assigned ...

Many Appalachian streams historically dominated by Brook Trout Salvelinus fontinalis have experienced shifts towards fish communities dominated by Rainbow Trout Onchorhynchus mykiss. We used empirical estimates of biomass and secondary production of trout conspecifics to evaluate species success under varied thermal regimes. Trout populations were sampled in 13 Appalachian streams from Maryland...

Poor water quality is discussed as a major factor causing a decline of brown trout populations in Swiss rivers. For our study we have chosen a river in the Swiss midlands, where the brown trout population has decreased dramatically during the last 10 yr and where feral fish have shown distinctive pathological alterations. The objective of our study was to investigate whether river water may be ...

the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of five dosage of vitamin c (0, 50, 250, 750 and 1500 mg vitamin c per kg diet) on fatty acid composition of caspian brown trout fry (salmo trutta caspius). fish (initial average body weight of 0.1 ± 0.02 g) were fed by formulated diets for 6 weeks in triplicate. the findings of growth parameters and survival showed significant difference a...

The desaturation and elongation of [1-(14)C]18:3n-3 was investigated in hepatocytes from different populations and three different species of salmonids indigenous to Scotland, brown trout, Atlantic salmon and Arctic charr. Two groups of fish were sampled, before and after they were fed two experimental diets, a control diet containing fish oil and a diet containing vegetable oil (a 1:1 blend of...

Background and Purpose: Due to environmental and economic concerns, Bled fish-farm is interested in establishing broodstocks of native brown trout (Salmo trutta L.). Progeny would be reared and released into rivers managed by the Fishing Club Bled. In this study was performed genetic characterization of broodstock from Bled fish-farm in order to assess hybridization of native brown trout of Dan...

In the present study, the effect of successive milt collection was investigated on spermatological parameters and reproduction successes of wild and cultured endangered caspian brown trout. The milt collection was done 3 times with two weeks intervals. After milt collection, amount of milt was allocated for milt quality evaluation and reminders used for fertilization. According to results, in w...

We evaluated the movement of adult brown trout Salmo trutta and rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss in relation to a catch-andrelease area in the White River downstream from Beaver Dam, Arkansas. Nine fish of each species were implanted with radio transmitters and monitored from July 1996 to July 1997. The 1.5km river length of a catch-and-release area (closed to angler harvest) was greater than ...

Reconstructing the historical distribution of local Brown trout populations is of great importance. Information of what has actually been lost and its causes is necessary for rebuilding natural lake ecosystems and recreational fisheries, as well as monitoring future changes. Older fishermen and local fishing right owners in 63 privately governed fishery management organizations (FMOs) in Northe...
