Because of problems with a "muddy" odor and taste occurring in rainbow trout being reared commercially in some small prairie lakes in central Canada, full production potential has not been realized. The possibility of masking the undesirable condition by smoke-processing was investigated and this was found to be a valid method of utilizing the majority of the affected fish.

Survival of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) in three North Dakota prairie lakes was low the 1st mo after stocking, ranging from 15 to 54%; high mortality may have been due to bird predation. In a fourth lake, where 77% survived the 1st mo, no predatory birds were observed. All fish in two lakes died in August when dissolved oxygen levels dropped to below 1.0 mg/liter following July blue-green algae blooms of 28 and 63 mm3/liter. In the other two lakes, harvests in October ranged from 0.1 to 4.4% of fish stocked. Mean wet weights at harvest of up to 272 g were sufficient for commercial use; however, special management to improve survival rates would be necessary in the lakes studied.

The seasonal mortality pattern and the causes of the mortality of planted rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) were studied in eight small eutrophic lakes in central Canada used for extensive aquaculture. Two periods of mortality were revealed. The first occurred in all lakes during the first 60 days of residence in the lakes and resulted in the mortality of 60–90% of the numbers of fish stocked. The second period occurred in about 20% of the lakes and was due to low oxygen levels following the collapse of a bloom of Aphanizomenonflos-aquae. Rainbow trout are close to their physiological upper tolerance levels in these lakes. Possible environmental and biological causes of mortality during the first period are discussed.

Preferred temperatures of underyearling rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) were determined in both vertical and horizontal temperature gradients. No statistically significant difference was found between the preferred temperatures by the two different methods. This suggests that the nature of the gradient plays a lesser role than generally believed in laboratory investigations of temperature preference.
