Impact of live food on survival and growth of hatchery-reared sea trout (Salm…

Survival rates and growth parameters of hatchery-reared sea trout (Salmo trutta trutta L.) fry were determined after stocking in the wild. The larvae were hatchery-reared for 12 weeks in two groups: fry were fed either on live zooplankton and live chironomidae larvae (LFG), or fed a pellet diet (PFG). The survival rate and specific growth rates were higher in the LFG than in the PFG group. Mos…
