Study quantifies temporal changes of selected fatty acids from six fish species subjected to two handling and three storage methods compared to samples that were processed immediately.
Aquafeeds
Genetic selection research finds that vegetarian versions of rainbow trout can be raised on a cost-effective and fully plant-based diet.

Cleaning is part of the daily management to ensure adequate rearing conditions, but additional water treatment is occasionally required to further improve the water quality. A disinfectant like sodium percarbonate can reduce the bacterial load.

India has a small trout farming industry in the Himalayan and Southern Peninsula areas. Even though current annual production is only a few hundred tons, the country has many areas that, although geographically difficult to work in, also offer excellent, very large habitats and conditions for trout culture.

Quantification of fish behavior is complex and depends on the experimental setup and biomarkers applied. A simple method was tested to quantify locomotor behavior to evaluate the effects of simulated water treatment scenarios using peracetic acid.

Various additives, many of plant origin, have been explored to replace the use of antibiotics in aquafeed. The authors compared the performance of rainbow trout fed diets containing oxytetracycline or mineral additives yellow loess and Song-Gang stone powder.

The use of larger and deeper tanks can reduce building, labor and other aquaculture production costs. However, the ability to grade and transfer large numbers of fish is more challenging when using large tanks. In a comparison of the effectiveness of a purse seine and a hinged clamshell to crowd fish in large tanks, the latter was easier to control and less stressful to salmonids. With a slotted bar rack in a side panel of the clamshell crowder, fish were simultaneously graded in size.
