The concentrations of RNA, DNA, and protein in white muscle from 240 uniquely tagged rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) held at three temperatures (5, 8 (control), and 11 °C) were measured. Both RNA and RNA/DNA ratios were better predictors of recent length- and weight-specific growth rates than they were of absolute fish size. Furthermore, RNA concentrations were better predictors of growth than RNA/DNA ratios. The strength of the regression between either RNA/DNA ratio or RNA and growth rate did not differ consistently among temperatures. Fish reared at warmer temperatures had lower concentrations of RNA for both a given growth rate and a given DNA concentration compared with cold-reared trout. Warm-reared fish also had lower concentrations of DNA and higher protein/DNA ratios than cold-reared trout when fish size was standardized. The concomitant decrease in both RNA and DNA concentrations resulted in marginally lower RNA/DNA ratios in warm-reared fish.

Duo culture response of Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baeri) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) was evaluated in culture tank conditions. Triplicated culture groups were planned as: mono-culture sturgeon (M, n=10), duo-culture sturgeon (DM, n=10) and duo-culture trout (DA, n=10), and mono-culture trout (A, n=10). Examination of mono and duo culture of each species, showed neither sturgeon nor trout, was indicated any significance on specific growth rate (SGR) and condition factor (CF). As for final biomasses among groups, no significant differences were recorded (p<0.05).

This study was undertaken to investigate the effects of bacterial infection (Aeromonas salmonicida) and chronic hypoxia on mortality, feed intake, and apparent digestibility of each of two diets in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). The diets were isonitrogenous (gross basis); one was based mainly on animal protein and the other on vegetal protein. In each of two separate and successive experiments, where the first served as a control for the second, fish were immersed on day 0 (d0) in either a sterile phosphate buffer solution (first experiment) or a suspension of A. salmonicida (second experiment). Thereafter, the fish were either exposed on d2 for 12 days to hypoxic conditions (60% of water oxygen saturation) or maintained under normal conditions. Feed intake was measured daily, while apparent digestibility coefficients for gross energy, dry matter, and crude protein were measured on d0, d2, d5, d9, d11, and d14. Among all infected fish, feed intakes were reduced (P < 0.05), regardless of the source of dietary protein or the degree of water oxygenation. Also, regardless of infection, the feed intakes of hypoxic fish that were fed the vegetal protein based diet were significantly less than those of fish that were fed the animal protein based diet. This response, however, was transitory, since normal levels of feed intake in the former fish were found by d3. The apparent digestibility coefficients for all parameters were unaltered by hypoxia (P > 0.05), but they were significantly reduced (P < 0.05) by A. salmonicida infection, especially during the critical period of infection (d5 and d9).
