The effect of photoperiod manipulation on Atlantic salmon growth, smoltification and sexual maturation: A case study of a commercial RAS
The effect of photoperiod manipulation on growth, smoltification and maturation was assessed in Atlantic salmon through an observational study performed in a commercial RAS facility from June (25.0 ± 11.0 g) to October 2018 (151.1 ± 25.5 g). Half of the commercial cohort 721 was raised in continuous...
