Article Synopsis
- A 4×3 factorial experiment assessed how different dietary protein sources (mixed fishmeal/plant protein vs. plant protein) and lipid levels (10% vs. 20%) affect the growth and nutrient utilization in rainbow trout across three water temperatures (10°C, 14°C, and 18°C) over 180 days.
- Results showed that growth factors, including weight gain and feed efficiency, were influenced by the interaction between diet and temperature, particularly highlighting that higher temperatures boosted specific growth rates.
- Additionally, mitochondrial enzyme activities in various tissues were significantly affected by diet and temperature, suggesting that shifts in temperature due to climate change might impact fish diets and growth performance.
