Abstract

Seven separate diets ranging from 30 to 60% protein in 5% increments were fed for 10 wk to duplicate groups of rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri, fingerlings maintained at 10 and 20‰ salinity. Water salinity and dietary protein concentration did not significantly influence total serum protein. Hematocrit increased substantially with salinity (35.3% for fish at 10 ppt and 39.1% for those at 20 ppt), whereas different levels of dietary protein were of minor consequence.
