Abstract

This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the effect of different levels of thyroxine hormone in rearing water and diet on growth factors in the early stages of growth of rainbow trout. The experiment was carried out in three stages: hatched eggs until complete hatching, hatched larvae until active feeding, and active feeding until weighing about 1 gram of fry fish. In each stage, the experiment was performed in three concentrations of thyroxine solution (0.03, 0.06 and 0.09 mg/liter) along with the control group (without thyroxine hormone) with 3 repetitions. Thyroxine was added to water in the first and second stages and to food in the third stage. At the end of the third stage, growth indicators were examined. The results showed that the highest final weight and length in treatment 9 were 1.53±0.04 and 5.85±0.31 cm respectively. The percentage of body weight gain and specific growth factors showed a significant difference compared to other treatments (p<0.05) and were 872.45±18.32 and 5.05±0.04, respectively. The highest food conversion rate and obesity rate in the control group were 0.78±0.004 and 1.14±0.07 respectively. According to the present study, thyroxine hormone has led to positive effects on growth factors in rainbow trout fry.
