Stonefly (Paragnetina media) density was reduced in a rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) enclosure by approximately 35%, whereas in a trout exclosure no significant changes in density occurred. Of the 35% reduction, approximately two-fifths and three-fifths were attributable, respectively to direct consumption of stoneflies by trout, and emigration by stoneflies from the predator-stressed section of stream. With trout present in laboratory aquaria, predator avoidance behaviour resulted in stoneflies remaining significantly more on dark substrate on which they were less vulnerable to trout predators. Stoneflies consumed significantly fewer prey (enchytraeid whiteworms) over 24 h, in the presence of both small (2.0–4.0 cm) and large (10.0–12.0 cm) rainbow trout in aquaria, compared with stoneflies feeding in trout-free aquaria. Feeding rate and substrate selection did not differ between well-fed and starved (5 d) nymphs.

The aim of this study was to investigate the ontogeny of digestive enzymes and effects of photoperiod on pancreatic enzyme activity in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum, 1792)) alevin and fry. After hatching, 3600 individuals of first-feeding alevin with a mean (±SD) mass of 119 ± 0.01 mg were reared in plastic tanks at four photoperiod levels (llight (L) : dark (D) cycle) for 6 weeks. Each replicate contained 300 alevin. Photoperiod treatments consisted of 14 h L : 10 h D, 10 h L : 14 h D, 4 h L : 20 h D, and 24 h L : 0 h D. During the rearing period, environmental variables including water temperature, oxygen, and pH were checked. Random sampling of alevin and fry was done at 0, 1, 3, 5, 8, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 39, and 44 days after the beginning of the first feeding (equal to 18, 19, 23, 25, 28, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 58, 63 days post hatching (dph)). The digestive enzyme activities in alevin and fry had a similar variation trend with age at all photoperiod levels. The specific activities of trypsin, chymotrypsin, and α-amylase at 24 h L : 0 h D were significantly higher than other treatments, but there was no significant difference in specific activity of lipase among treatments. The results demonstrated that growth, feeding efficiency, and digestive enzyme activity improved with longer exposure to photoperiod in rearing conditions.
