Measurement of gastrointestinal passage rate in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) fed dry or soaked feed
A method for measurement of gastrointestinal passage rate was tried in Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar (body weight 1131 g, temperature 13.5 °C, salinity 32‰). Salmon were force fed one single ration (10 g) extruded feed ‘as is’ (92% dry matter) or soaked 2 h in sea water (70% dry matter), in triplicat...
