Abstract:This study was conducted to investigate the effects of water temperature and fish size on feeding and growth of the lenok . The experimental fish of three sizes (7 g, 68 g, and 169 g) were reared at five water temperatures (6℃, 10℃, 14℃, 18℃, 22℃) using artificial diet. The results showed that the maximum feeding rate () was observed at 18℃ in small size, 14℃ and 18℃ in middle size, and 14℃ in large size () was obtained at 14℃ and 18℃ in small size and middle size, and at 14℃ in large size (<0.05). The maximum feeding rate and energy content of the lenok increased with increased fish size, however, the special growth rate decreased with increased fish size. Multiple regression model of SGRw, of the lenok in relation to temperature and fish size was ln2-0.0157-0.0147T2-0.0021Cmax and <0.05), while no interaction on SGRw of the lenok between temperature and fish size was observed (>0.05). The results suggested that the optimum temperature for different fish sizes of the lenok was similar, which was between 14-18℃ based on maximum feeding rate (w).
