Role of Rearing Experience in Gravel Substrate Selection by Juvenile Rainbow Trout, Salmo gairdneri

Abstract
Laboratory studies on hatchery-reared wild juvenile rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) in an experimental raceway show no significant selection (P < 0.05) of test gravel substrates under either nonflowing or flowing (0.03 m/s) conditions regardless of rearing experience. There is no statistical evidence that hatchery conditioning of rainbow trout for gravel substrate selection is likely to be a feasible undertaking.
