Condition factor and organosomatic indices of rainbow trout (Onchorhynchus mykiss, Wal.): From different brood stock

Abstract

Condition factor and organosomatic indices of fish represent a way of monitoring environmental factor influence on fish. The rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss, Wal.) individuals that were used in the work originated from different brood stock and different fish farms. Spawning was carried out on five selected fish farms. After that, the breeding eggs were delivered in Klasnik hatchery where the same environmental conditions were provided during embryonic development and cultivation of all five groups of individuals. As a conditioning factor in this work Fulton's condition factor and coefficients of the heart, liver and spleen were analyzed. In all individuals we determined the total length, standard length and body mass. In total, fifty individuals, which were divided into five groups form five brood stock, were analyzed. The results show significantly different values for the condition factor and organosomatic indices between some of the analyzed groups.
