Effects of feeding level, water temperature and diet composition on growth and efficiency of feed utilization in two salmonids
This thesis examines the effects of feeding level, water temperature and diet composition on growth and efficiency of feed utilization by rainbow trout and Atlantic salmon. Trout were fed either to near-satiation (NS) or at 85 (R1) or 70% (R2) of the amount of feed consumed in the previous week by N...
