Effects of tank colour on feed intake, specific growth rate, growth efficiency and some physiological parameters of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum, 1792)

As there are no clear results on an overall optimum tank colour (not even for salmonids), the objective of this study was therefore to investigate the effects of colour on feed intake, specific growth rate, growth efficiency and physiological status (cortisol, glucose and heamatocrit) of rainbow tro...

Zusammenfassung:As there are no clear results on an overall optimum tank colour (not even for salmonids), the objective of this study was therefore to investigate the effects of colour on feed intake, specific growth rate, growth efficiency and physiological status (cortisol, glucose and heamatocrit) of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss reared in red, blue, yellow, and white tanks.
