Influence of diet and oxidative rancidity on fry of Atlantic and coho salmon

Six commercially prepared starter diets were fed to triplicate groups of swim-up fry of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) at 9–10°C for 24 and 8 weeks, respectively. The levels of oxidative rancidity of the diets were determined to be relatively low by the thiobarbituric acid and peroxide value methods. Growth rates of both species of salmon differed significantl

Gas phase axial dispersion in a packed column oxygen absorber

Gas phase axial dispersion was characterized within an enclosed packed column receiving oxygen and water under counter-current flow conditions. Steady-state gas phase profiles (longitudinal) were measured during a series of 90 column runs in which, at each of three bed depths (0·362, 0·699, and 1·041 m), all combinations of the following independent variables were tested: influent volumetric oxyge

Tolerance of lake trout, Salvelinus namaycush (Walbaum), sac fry to dissolved gas supersaturation

The tolerance of sac fry of lake trout, Salvelinus namaycush (Walbaum), to the acute effects of gas supersaturation, from hatching to swim-up, was tested using six gas levels, ranging from ΔP 8 to 148. Although many fish were moribund by the time the yolk was nearly absorbed, mortality during the 40-day study was negligible; survival to swim-up was 96–99%, including 99% survival at ΔP 148. Of fish
