In this study, the effect of short-terms starvation on glucose, triglyceride, protein and cholesterol levels
of rainbow trout was investigated. After 3 weeks acclimation to experimental conditions, 180 juvenile
rainbow trout with the average initial weight of 39±2.73 (mean ± SE) were randomly distributed in four
treatments with three replications. Controls (C) were fed to two times daily to apparent satiation. Other
treatments experienced 5 (D1), 7 (D2) and 10 (D3) days starvation, respectively. Blood samples were
taken from each experimental treatment at the end of the starvation periods. Any significant different
between control and starvation treatments (P>0.05) was not observed in any parameters. Overall, the
present study showed that during the occurrence of unpredictable stress, starvation periods, considering
there are not any significant effects on biochemical blood factors, could be an appropriate method for
reducing metabolism. |
