In trout fingerlings with a mean weight 1.1 g and body length 4.3 cm, kept in a water stream at the velocity of 0.2 m/sec for 1-3 hours, the content of glycogen in muscles, liver and brain decreases whereas the content of unsaturated fatty acids and glucose in the blood as well as the level of lactate in muscles increase. After 5-hour swimming of the fingerlings carbohydrate metabolism and the content of unsaturated fatty acids return to the initial levels; the content of fat in the liver significantly decreases. Presumably trout fingerlings exhibit high capacity for adaptation to the given muscular activity and do not show fatigue.

Copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) are increasingly used across various industries due to their catalytic, antimicrobial, and electrical properties. However, their potential toxicity in aquatic environments, particularly to non-target organisms like fish, remains poorly understood. This study investigated the effects of CuNP exposure on rainbow trout () by comprehensively evaluating hematological, biochemical, antioxidant, molecular, and histopathological parameters.

Rainbow trout fingerlings were fed, in triplicate, diets supplemented with 0 (CTL), 50 (50 TM), 100 (100 TM), 200 (200 TM), 400 (400 TM) and 800 (800 TM) mg/kg of thymol, followed by 48 h of thermal stress. Growth performance and humoral immunological parameters showed no significant responses to dietary thymol concentrations. Fish fed 50-400 mg/kg thymol diets had significantly higher survival after heat stress.

Complex hydrodynamics abound in natural streams, yet the selective pressures these impose upon different size classes of fish are not well understood. Attached vortices are produced by relatively large objects that block freestream flow, which fish routinely utilize for flow refuging. To test how flow refuging and the potential harvesting of energy (as seen in Kármán gaiting) vary across size classes in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss; fingerling, 8 cm; parr, 14 cm; adult, 22 cm; n=4 per size class), we used a water flume (4100 l; freestream flow at 65 cm s-1) and created vortices using 45 deg wing dams of varying size (small, 15 cm; medium, 31 cm; large, 48 cm).

Rainbow trout is an important fish species for Peruvian artisanal aquaculture, comprising over 60 % of the total aquaculture production. However, their industry has been highly affected by several bacterial agents such as Yersinia ruckeri. This pathogen is the causative agent of Enteric Redmouth Disease, and causes high mortality in fingerlings and chronic infection in adult rainbow trout.

Coldwater species are challenged with increasing water temperatures and fluctuations over their upper thermal limits. This study evaluated the potential of acclimation to higher temperature and dietary antioxidants capacity to mitigate the adverse effects of heat shocks in rainbow trout. To this end, rainbow trout fingerlings were acclimated at optimal (14 °C) and high (20 °C) temperatures and fed on selenium (5 mg/kg) and polyphenol (2 g/kg) supplemented diets for 60 days and then were exposed to heat shocks by increasing water temperature up to 30 °C.
