Compensatory Growth In Sea Bass ( Dicentrarchus Labrax), Sea Bream ( Sparus Aurata) And Rainbow Trout ( Oncorhynchus Mykiss), Temel Şahi̇n, Bi̇lal Akbulut, Muharrem Aksungur Jan 2000

Compensatory Growth In Sea Bass ( Dicentrarchus Labrax), Sea Bream ( Sparus Aurata) And Rainbow Trout ( Oncorhynchus Mykiss), Temel Şahi̇n, Bi̇lal Akbulut, Muharrem Aksungur

Turkish Journal of Zoology

The effects of a period of starvation and subsequent refeeding on the weight and length of sea bass, sea bream and rainbow trout reared at 17%o salinity and at different temperatures were investigated. The fish were starved for 3 weeks and then fed ad libitum by hand for 3 weeks in the 3 periods studied. The study provided evidence of the adaptation of the fish to starvation followed by what may be termed compensatory growth once feeding was resumed. The length changes of the fish indicate that the weight gains were due to grojth rather than increases in gut fat …


Comparision Of Methods Used For Determination Of Total Volatile Basic Nitrogen (Tvb-N) In Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus Mykiss), Fati̇h Özoğul, Yeşi̇m Özoğul Jan 2000

Comparision Of Methods Used For Determination Of Total Volatile Basic Nitrogen (Tvb-N) In Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus Mykiss), Fati̇h Özoğul, Yeşi̇m Özoğul

Turkish Journal of Zoology

TVB-N (total volatile basic nitrogen) concentration in fish muscle was used as an index of freshness quality to compare the spoilage of rainbow trout wrapped in cling film and in aluminium foil. TVB-N levels in different muscle tissue and in the whole fish were measured every two days for a period of 16 days at 4-6°C. In addition, three different methods of determining of TVB-N were evaluated in terms of sensitivity, reliability, speed, and cost. Regardless of the method of analysis, there was an increase in the level of TVB-N during storage, especially after 7-9 days. In general, the trend …
