Fasting regimen beneficial to trout and hatchery bottom line

摘要

Alternate-day fasting may be as beneficial for trout as it can be for humans according to a study conducted by researchers in the Department of Fisheries, Wildlife, 8c Environmental Science at the State University of New York. Study findings were presented on a poster at the Aquaculture America 2015 conference held earlier this year in New Orleans.Typically brook trout reared in many state hatcheries for recreational fisheries will take as long as 18 months to reach a stocking size of from 22 to 30cm (9-12in).This means that trout spawned in the fall of one year don't get stocked out until the spring a year-and-a-half later.
