Moreover, FM replacement by 9% KM indicated a reduction in the accumulation of lipid droplets in the hepatocytes and around the pancreatic islets. In summary, this study suggests that FM can be reduced in diets for seab- ream without negatively affecting growth performance, when KM is added. On the contrary, KM enhances gilthead seabream growth and reduces lipid accumulation and damage of hepatocytes, which will open an interesting innovation line to com- pletely replace FM by alternative terrestrial protein sources and the partial inclusion of KM.

  • Rainbow Trout
    Aboriginal Aquaculture Association • FinfishFinfish Facts Facts Rainbow Trout Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss - Latin name) The rainbow trout is a species of salmonid native to tributaries of the Pacific Ocean in Asia and North America. The steelhead is a sea-run rainbow trout (anadromous) usually returning to freshwater to spawn after two to three years at sea; rainbow trout and steelhead trout are the same species. The fsh are often called salmon trout. Several other fish in the salmonid family are called trout; some are anadromous like salmon, whereas others are resident in freshwater only. The species has been introduced for food or sport to many countries, and every continent except Antarctica. The first rainbow trout hatchery was established on San Leandro Creek, a tributary of San Francisco Bay, in 1870, with trout production beginning in 1871. Today, they are farmed in many countries throughout the world. Since the 1950s, commercial production has grown exponentially, particularly in Europe and recently in Chile. In Chile and Norway, ocean cage production of steelheads has expanded to supply export markets. Inland production of rainbow trout to supply domestic markets has increased in countries such as Italy, France, Germany, Denmark and Spain. Other significant producing countries include the USA, Iran, Germany and the United Kingdom.

  • Evaluating Coexistence of Fish Species with Coastal Cutthroat Trout in Low Order Streams of Western Oregon and Washington, USA
    fishes Article Evaluating Coexistence of Fish Species with Coastal Cutthroat Trout in Low Order Streams of Western Oregon and Washington, USA Kyle D. Martens 1,* and Jason Dunham 2 1 Washington Department of Natural Resources, 1111 Washington Street SE, Olympia, WA 98504, USA 2 U.S. Geological Survey, Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center, 3200 SW Jefferson Way, Corvallis, OR 97331, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: When multiple species of fish coexist there are a host of potential ways through which they may interact, yet there is often a strong focus on studies of single species without considering these interactions. For example, many studies of forestry–stream interactions in the Pacific Northwest have focused solely on the most prevalent species: Coastal cutthroat trout. To examine the potential for interactions of other fishes with coastal cutthroat trout, we conducted an analysis of 281 sites in low order streams located on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula and along the central Oregon coast. Coastal cutthroat trout and juvenile coho salmon were the most commonly found salmonid species within these streams and exhibited positive associations with each other for both presence and density. Steelhead were negatively associated with the presence of coastal cutthroat trout as well as with coho salmon and sculpins (Cottidae). Coastal cutthroat trout most frequently shared streams with juvenile coho salmon. For densities of these co-occurring species, associations between these two species were relatively weak compared to the strong influences of physical stream conditions Citation: Martens, K.D.; Dunham, J. (size and gradient), suggesting that physical conditions may have more of an influence on density Evaluating Coexistence of Fish Species with Coastal Cutthroat Trout than species interactions.

In response to growing ecological concerns, life cycle assessment (LCA) emerged as a key environmental tool to measure the impacts of various production systems, including aquaculture. In this review, we focused on farmed salmonids to perform an in-depth analysis, investigating methodologies and comparing results of LCA studies of this finfish family in relation to species and production technologies. Identifying the environmental strengths and weaknesses of salmonid production technologies is central to ensure that industrial actors and policymakers make informed choices to take the production of this important marine livestock to a more sustainable path. Three critical aspects of salmonid LCAs were studied based on 24 articles and reports: (1) Methodological application, (2) construction of inventories, and (3) comparison of production technologies across studies.

WISHKOVSKY1*, J. M. GROFF1, D. J. LAUREN1, R. J. TOTH2 and R. P. HEDRICK1** Department of Medicine, School of1 Veterinary Medicine, University of California, Davis, California 95616, USA California Department of Fish and Game, Bishop, California 293514, USA (Received April 13, 1990) The potential of fumagillin DCH to prevent proliferative kidney disease (PKD) in rainbow trout fingerlings was tested in field and laboratory studies. In a field study, PKX trophozoites and accompanying inflammation (PKD) occurred in the kidneys of 92.7% of fish fed control diets and in only 7.9% of fish receiving 0.34 g fumagillin/kg of diet (fed at 6% biomass per day) when examined 65 days after being placed in waters enzootic for the parasite. In a laboratory study, fumagillin treatment reduced the number of fish that developed PKD following natural exposure to the parasite. In both the laboratory and the field studies, fish fed fumagillin demonstrated a loss of appetite beginning 2 to 4 weeks following feeding of medicated diets. Cumulative mortalities of 92% and 33% for the field and laboratory studies were experienced by groups of fish continuously fed medicated diets. The toxicity of fumagillin was evaluated in the laboratory following feeding at 0.1, 0.25, 0.5 or 1.0 g drug/kg feed (fed at 1.5-2.0% biomass daily) for 8 weeks at water temperature of 15•Ž.

    Pacific Science (1999), vol. 53, no. 3: 242-251 © 1999 by University of Hawai'i Press. All rights reserved Alien Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) (Salmoniformes: Salmonidae) Diet in Hawaiian Streams1 MICHAEL H. KIDO,2 DONALD E. HEACOCK,3 AND ADAM ASQUITH4 ABSTRACT: Diet of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum), intro­ duced by the State of Hawai'i into tropical headwater streams of the Waimea River in the Koke'e area ofthe Hawaiian island ofKaua'i, was examined in this study through gut content analysis. In Wai'alae Stream, rainbow trout were found to be opportunistic general predators efficient at feeding on invertebrate drift. Foods eaten ranged from juvenile trout, to terrestrial and aquatic arthro­ pods, to algae and aquatic mosses. Native aquatic species, particularly dragonfly (Anax strennus) and damselfly (Megalagrion heterogamias) naiads, lyrnnaeid snails (Erinna aulacospira), and atyid shrimp (Atyoida bisulcata), were deter­ mined to be major foods for alien trout. Terrestrial invertebrates (primarily ar­ thropods), however, provided a substantial (albeit unpredictable) additional food supply. Based on results of the study, it is cautioned that large numbers of rainbow trout indiscriminantly released into lower- to middle-elevation reaches ofHawaiian streams could do substantial damage to populations ofna­ tive aquatic species through predation, competition, and/or habitat alteration. RAINBOW TROUT, Oncorhynchus mykiss the high-elevation (ca. 3500 ft [1067 m]) Ko­ (Walbaum), along with several other Salmo­ ke'e area of Kaua'i Island (Figure I) (Need­ niformes (Salmonidae), were introduced into ham and Welsh 1953).
