Photoperiod in recirculation aquaculture systems and timing of seawater transfer affect seawater growth performance of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
Abstract Production of Atlantic salmon smolts in recirculation aquaculture systems (RAS) is growing, and novel production protocols using continuous light in RAS are being implemented in the industry. In the present study, Atlantic Salmon parr were exposed to either a traditional protocol (short‐day...

In the present study, Atlantic Salmon parr were exposed to either a traditional protocol (short‐day winter signal [12:12 L:D] for 6 weeks) or to continuous light.

Slaughter weight was lowest in fish transferred to sea at 600 g, despite having the highest day‐degree sum during their life span. The best performing group was the control group transferred at 100 g. All treatments handled transfer to seawater and survival and maturation were not affected by the treatments in RAS.
