14407

In this study, growing performance, food conversion ratio and survival of rainbow trout (around 285 g) which were transferred to seawater for directly was investigated in the mobile fish farm during summer season for 90 days. At the end of study, rainbow trouts reached from weighing 285 – 289 g to 667.3 – 675.8 g. FCR were around 1.129 – 1.136. Mortality occurred around 6.07 – 7.19%. As a result, growth performance and survival of rainbow trout in the mobile fish farm was considerably well when comparing with previous studies. Mobile fish farm can be an important opportunity nowadays for off-shore aquaculture, if technical and administrative problems could be solved.
