Abstract
Kocaman, E.M., Bayir, A., Sirkecioğlu, A.N., Cengiz Bayir, M. and Yanik, T. 2006. Growth of trout juveniles (Oncorhynchus mykiss, Salvelinus fontinalis and Salmo trutta fario) under uniform cultural conditions. J. Appl. Anim. Res., 30: 73–75. Growth of trout juveniles namely rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), brown trout (Salmo trutta faria) and brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) were determined under same environmental conditions. Although the initial average weights of the three trouts were similar, the average final weights, rate of weight gain and feed per unit gain were superior in rainbow and brook trouts as compared to brown trout. Survival rate during the 140 d experimental period was 100% in all species. Thus faster and economic growth of rainbow trout over other cultured trouts is demonstrated.
