The effects of changing feeding frequency simultaneously with seawater transfer in Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L. smolt

The effects on group feed intake and growth performance of changing feeding frequency simultaneously with seawater transfer of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar were investigated. Two feeding regimes of one feed per day (1F) and eight feeds per day (8F) were compared for groups of Atlantic salmon in freshwater. Following seawater transfer groups were either fed on their pre-transfer regimes or swapped to the other regime, resulting in four treatments ( n = 3). Regardless of the pre-transfer feeding regime, 1F groups had significantly ( P
