The concentrations of RNA, DNA, and protein in white muscle from 240 uniquely tagged rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) held at three temperatures (5, 8 (control), and 11 °C) were measured. Both RNA and RNA/DNA ratios were better predictors of recent length- and weight-specific growth rates than they were of absolute fish size. Furthermore, RNA concentrations were better predictors of growth than RNA/DNA ratios. The strength of the regression between either RNA/DNA ratio or RNA and growth rate did not differ consistently among temperatures. Fish reared at warmer temperatures had lower concentrations of RNA for both a given growth rate and a given DNA concentration compared with cold-reared trout. Warm-reared fish also had lower concentrations of DNA and higher protein/DNA ratios than cold-reared trout when fish size was standardized. The concomitant decrease in both RNA and DNA concentrations resulted in marginally lower RNA/DNA ratios in warm-reared fish.

The overall dynamics of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) carcass decomposition in a woodland stream ecosystem was examined in two experiments conducted in the West Fork of Mink Creek, Idaho: one during winter–spring (mean water temperature 4.2 °C) and one during summer (mean water temperature 8.6 °C). Relative weight loss (%AFDW) from fish during both periods was essentially constant. In spring, mean daily loss per day was 1.5%. Although this rate is comparable with the decay of high-quality ("fast") leaves, it took much longer than expected (> 120 d) for the even higher quality fish protein. In summer, decay was more rapid (4.9%/d) and was completed in less than half the time (~50 d). Most decay appeared to progress from inside the carcasses outward to the skin. The skin remained intact throughout most of both experiments. Nutrients leached from the fish appeared to be utilized rapidly by microbes associated with the carcass, since no stimulation of algal growth occurred immediately downstream of the carcasses. This suggests extremely tight nutrient spirals and high nutrient retention in Mink Creek and other comparable Rocky Mountain headwater streams.
