Abstract

Abstract Quantification of return of appetite in fish is considerably important with respect to the estimation of optimum feeding protocols, Therefore, 30 adult female rainbow trout (0. mykiss) (205.6 ± 2.2 g) in a fresh water recirculation system were fed the control diet containing 42.6% of digestible protein and 19.7 MJ kg'' of digestible energy until all fish were satiated. The fish were re-fed at different time intervals (t= 0, 4, 8, 12, 24 and 48 hours) with the test diet containing radio-opaque glass beads `ballotini' (0.6-0.9 mm) and X-rayed. The amount of feed consumed by fish for each time interval was calculated following the quantification of the number of glass beads in the developed X-ray sheets and the appetite revival of trout was modelled. According to the results, the appetite revival data was best explained by a sigmoid model since the model gave a higher correlation coefficient with a lower residual mean square. The times for 50 and 95 % of return of appetite in rainbow trout were observed as 17 and 43 hours, respectively. It was suggested that the X-radiography technique for the sequential feed intake measurements could he used to understand feeding behaviour of cultured fish species in order to obtain maximum growth performance and. feed efficiency.
