Effects of rearing density and dietary fat content on burst‐swim performance and oxygen transport capacity in juvenile Atlantic salmon Salmo salar
The effects of hatchery rearing density (conventional or one third of conventional density) and feeding regime (high or reduced dietary fat levels) on burst‐swim performance and oxygen transport capacity were studied in hatchery‐reared Atlantic salmon Salmo salar , using wild fish as a reference gro...
