Abstract

Protein is the main constituent of the fish body thus sufficient dietary supply is needed for optimum growth. The feeding trial with four protein levels (38, 43, 48 and 53%) was conducted to evaluate the optimum protein of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Three thousands fish with initial mean body weight, 0.5 g were fed frequently to satiation for 4 days a week for 65 days. Results showed that final weight and specific growth rate (SGR) were significantly affected by protein levels (P < 0.05). The best feed conversion ratio (FCR) was obtained with the fish fed 48% of protein, while there were no significant differences between this treatment and the 53% protein diet (P > 0.05). In conclusion, it appears that the diet containing 48% protein would be suitable for optimum growth of rainbow trout in the studied weight range.
