| Title | Effects of Temperature and Ration Level on the Growth and Food Conversion Efficiency of Rainbow Trout, Salmo gairdneri, Richardson |
| Creator | Wurtsbaugh, Wayne A. Davis, G. |
| Description | The effects of temperature and ration size on the growth rate and gross efficiency of food conversion of juvenile rainbow trout Salmo gairdneri were evaluated during 25-day seasonal experiments. Rations ranged from near-starvation to repletion levels. Test temperatures were 3 and 6°C higher than the controls which fluctuated dielly and seasonally. At rations near maintenance, elevated temperatures decreased trout growth. As the feeding rate increased the detrimental effect of temperature on... |
