Effect Of Feeding

Growth rate, body composition, and intake of either dry matter or energy did not differ significantly (P > 0.05) between two groups of juvenile brown trout (Salmo trutta) fed either a low- or high-moisture semipurified diet at different rates to compensate for a diet energy density gradient. Feed/gain efficiency, on an as-fed basis, was significantly greater (P < 0.01) in fish fed the low-moisture diet, but did not differ (P > 0.05) when compared on the basis of dry matter or energy intake.

We studied the benefit of being territorial as an effect of food abundance by measuring the proportions of individuals that displayed a territorial, floating (individuals occasionally displayed territorial behaviour), or nonterritorial (shoaling) behaviour strategy, and individual growth rates. Also, swimming activity was monitored as an indicator of emigration. Replicate groups of 12 juvenile brown trout (Salmo trutta) were released into an artificial stream channel, fed according to one of four food regimes for 10 days, and allocated to one of three behaviour categories. There was no significant relationship between food abundance and the number of territorial individuals. Instead, the proportions of individuals that displayed the alternative behaviour strategies, i.e., floating and nonterritorial, changed with food abundance. At the lowest food level, more individuals displayed nonterritorial than floating behaviour, but these two strategies were equally represented at the highest food level. The difference in growth rates with respect to behaviour category was highest at intermediate food levels. At the highest and lowest food levels, nonterritorial fish and floaters grew nearly as fast or as poorly, respectively, as the territorial individuals. Swimming activity between the two sections of the stream tank was greatest at the lowest food level, and there was a general tendency (not significant) for the floaters to exhibit the greatest activity.

Abstract Worldwide declines in salmonid populations have generated major interest in conservation and restoration of wild populations and riverine habitats. Species reintroductions to previous habitats raises questions about their potential impact on these systems. In River Klarälven, landlocked Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) has been extinct from upper reaches for over 50 years due to hydropower dams. Here we study competitive interactions between salmon, grayling (Thymallus thymallus) and brown trout (Salmo trutta), that occur in the upper reaches of the river. We examine foraging rates, aggression and activity of juvenile fish in allopatry at three different densities and in sympatry with one or both potential competitors in laboratory flumes. Salmon captured prey less frequently in the presence of brown trout and grayling, whereas grayling and brown trout were unaffected by salmon, but affected each other. Grayling was the most aggressive and active species whereas salmon the least. Consequently, re-introduction of salmon probably will have little impact on grayling and brown trout, whereas grayling and brown trout could affect the success of re-introducing salmon.
