THE INFLUENCE OF WATER TEMPERATURE ON THE GROWTH, SURVIVAL, CONDITION AND BIOLOGICAL QUALITY OF

ABSTRACT. Growth, survival, condition (Fulton’s coefficient) and biological quality (salinity stress test) were compared in 2-month-old burbot (20 mg BW, 10.9 mm TL) reared at 12, 15, 18, and 21C. At 15C, the fish showed the best growth in BW and TL (170 mg and 24.5 mm, respectively), and the highes...

Description
Summary:ABSTRACT. Growth, survival, condition (Fulton’s coefficient) and biological quality (salinity stress test) were compared in 2-month-old burbot (20 mg BW, 10.9 mm TL) reared at 12, 15, 18, and 21C. At 15C, the fish showed the best growth in BW and TL (170 mg and 24.5 mm, respectively), and the highest final survival rate (97%), whereas their condition coefficient and tolerance to salinity proved to be the second best. This may indicate that a temperature of 15C should be used for the practical purposes of juvenile burbot mass production under controlled conditions.
