title: Growth of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss, W. 1792) in net cages in Almus Dam Lake (Tokat).
abstract: The growth performance of Rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, (initial weight 100 g) were tried in net cages in Almus Dam Lake in Tokat. Rainbow trout were tried in net cages with 4 kg m(-3) stocking rearing density with four replicates. Rainbow trout were fed adlibitum with pellet feed numbered 4. Investigation was continued 106 days between August and November, 2003. At the end of the trial live weight increment was computed as 165,91 g and also specific growth rate 0,915, condition factor 1,550 and food conversion rate 1,63 were determined.
