The timing with which salmonid larvae emerge from their gravel nests is considered to be associated with a particular suite of behavioural and physiological traits. In aquaculture, traits of interest to production include aggressiveness, dominance and resilience to stress. The earliest emerging fraction is generally considered to possess these traits, and fish in this fraction may be perceived as being more robust. It is speculated that there may be advantages to selectively farm fish that are more robust, particularly if feed utilization is improved and disease is less prevalent. In the present study a series of experiments were performed, with the purpose of characterising behavioural, metabolic and production related traits in rainbow trout juveniles.... |
