To identify absorption sites of earthy-flavor in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri), we placed the geosmin-producing algae Symploca muscorum on four locations. We showed that the most rapid absorption occurred in the gills (6 min), followed by the skin (1.5 h), small intestine (4 h), and stomach (7 h). In trout farming, if ingestion of algae is reduced, then the most significant route of uptake of geosmin will be through the gills and skin.

The ontogeny of the stratum granulosum within the small intestine of the rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) was related to the chronological age of the animal. The component granule cells were first seen many weeks after the development of the collagenous stratum compactum. It is therefore concluded that the granule cells do not perform a critical role in stratum compactum formation. In addition, it is proposed that the stratum granulosum develops because of resistance of the stratum compactum to cellular penetration.

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.
