Behavioural responses of salmonid fry to low amino acid concentrations
The behaviour of start feed brown trout, Salmo trutla , and Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar , fry was observed in response to 5, 50 and 500 nM concentrations of L‐alanine, L ‐proline, L‐arginine and glycine. In addition, salmon fry were tested with dilute concentrations of shrimp extract. Five behaviou...
