Improving Salmonid Aquaculture in the North Central Region
(funded project #4)
Description
The fourth Salmonid Funded Project. Chaired by Paul
Brown
Objectives:
- Develop and evaluate practical and economically viable
diets that are fish-meal free or as fish-meal free as
practical:
-
- using soy, or other oil-seed products that are
regionally available, and
- using Shasta, Donaldson and Kamloop strains of
rainbow trout and/or Arctic charr for the
evaluation.
- Evaluate the effects of water temperature on the
growth/stress response in salmonid strains or species (as
listed in Objective 1) under outdoor commercial culture
conditions in the upper and lower portions of the North
Central Region.
- Investigate the effects of trace mineral
supplementation on the growth and stress response of
rainbow trout in high density culture, as evaluated by
plasma cortisol levels and fin-nipping behavior.
