Abstract

The Purpose of this study was to study the effects of food type on growth and survival rate of the Snow trout (Shizothorax Zarudnyi) on 6 weeks. For this objective early larvae of Snow trout with average weight 4±0.21 mg and length 9±0.26 mm fed in complete random model in 4 treatment groups (starter food of common carp, rotifer, De-capsulated cyst of atresia and pond) with triplicate in Californian trough and ponds. Results indicated highest body weight gain (2046.83±75 mg), specific growth rate (%17.72±0.09), average daily gain (47.58±2.03 mg), final weight gain (2050±87.18 mg) and final length (60 ±2.0 mm) observed in pond treatment group that significantly differences with other treatments (p˃0.05). Highest survival rate (%75.7) observed in rotifer treatment group that significantly differences with other treatments (p˃0.05). Also on the base of chemical analysis of carcass fry in end culture period, highest protein (%16.22±0.17) and lipid (%5.28±0.04) observed in cyst and pond treatment groups respectively, that significantly differences with other treatments (p˃0.05). Finds of this study indicated that optimum growth indexes of the Snow trout observed in pond treatment group and highest survival rate obtained in rotifer treatment group.
