The aims of this study were to determine hatching performance, body and yolk weight at hatching, the growth rate during the yolk absorption and yolk conversion efficiency of Black Sea trout, brook trout and their hybrid larvae, and to compare the relationships between length, total wet weight, dry yolk body weights of alevins and degree-days. The Black Sea trout egg has shorter incubation duration than brook trout and their hybrid. Survival from fertilization to swim-up of brook trout, Black Sea trout, and hybrid were 45.8%, 54.3% and 30.7%, respectively. Length, total wet weight, dry larva weights, and dry yolk weights of brook trout, Black Sea trout and hybrid exhibited a linear relationship with degree-days; dry yolk weight decreased, while length, total wet weight and dry body weight increased with degree-days. The linear regression parameters excluding length slope were significantly different. Length and weight increase as well as growth rates, daily yolk sac consumption and yolk sac efficiency values were calculated as 0.21 mm/day, 0.63 mg/day, 0.30 mg/day, and 0.61 for brook trout; 0.19 mm/day, 0.87 mg/day, 0.60 mg/day, and 0.76 for Black Sea trout, and 0.20 mm/day, 0.45 mg/day, 0.28 mg/day, and 0.46 for hybrid, respectively.

The objectives of the present study were to compare growth performance and feed conversion ratios of brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) and Black Sea trout (Salmo trutta labrax) in monoculture and duo-culture tank reared conditions. The fish were about 9-month-old hatchery reared brook trout and Black Sea trout with initial weights of 24.18 +/- 0.64 (n=60) and 23.87 +/- 1.11 (n=60) g, respectively. Fish were kept in 0.2 m(3) fiberglass tanks. Nine tanks were used and the fish were equally allotted to 3 groups with tree replicates and fed for 240 days. Each tank contained 20 fish from each species for monoculture and 10+10 fish from each species for duo-culture. At the end of the study, mean live weights of brook trout and Black Sea trout increased to 265.47 +/- 17.25 g and 206.18 +/- 2.95 g in monoculture. 235.53 +/- 10.25 g and 222.47 +/- 1429 g in duo-culture, respectively, and significant differences were found among the groups (P<0.01). The highest and lowest specific growth rates were found in brook trout and Black Sea trout in monoculture (P<0.01), respectively. The highest and lowest final condition factors were calculated in duo-culture for brook trout and in monoculture for Black Sea trout (P<0.01), respectively. The feed conversion ratio (FCR) for Black Sea trout was higher than it was for the other groups (P < 0.01).
