Abstract
Growth and survival were compared for groups of first-feeding fry of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) fed various commercially available and experimental starter diets. In two separate 8- to 9-week studies, survival was highest (more than 90%) in fish fed a semimoist closed-formula commercial diet (BioDiet). In one study, fish grew fastest on BioDiet, whereas in the second study they grew fastest on a liver-supplemented diet. Some diets were not eaten by the fish, resulting in little growth and less than 40% survival.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
