The concentrations of major constituents of ovarian fluid were found to be lower than reported values for the same constituents in blood and urine of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri). Glucose and total bilirubin were significantly correlated (P < 0.05) to hatchability, whereas LDH was negatively correlated (P < 0.05).Rainbow trout egg proteins are highly nutritional and contain a higher proportion of essential amino acids than do eggs or human or cows' milk.

Fry of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) fed a diet containing isolated fish protein grew significantly faster than those fed a diet containing casein without supplemental amino acids, and had improved feed conversion and lower mortality. Supplementing the casein diet with essential amino acids to the levels in the isolated fish protein diet significantly increased growth rate, reduced mortality, and improved feed conversion.When fingerling rainbow trout (S. gairdneri) were fed diets containing soybean meal as the sole source of protein, additions of amino acids to simulate those levels of essential amino acids in trout eggs and isolated fish protein significantly improved growth. Additions of methionine, lysine, histidine, and leucine individually and in several combinations had no effect.

The most important approaches to fish diets balancing on the main nutrients are mixed fodders and feed additives (FA) management. The research has shown that the distinctive feature of the developed feed additives is a high content of amino acids, as well as polyunsaturated fatty acids and minerals. FA is one of the most valuable protein products, covering from 56,9 to 255,6 % of the daily requirement for rainbow trout in essential amino acids. Thus, in general, it is possible to consider the feed additives made from secondary products as a natural sources of proteins, minerals, and vitamins which can be used in mixed fodders production for the rainbow trout with partial or full replacement in their recipes of fish meal.

The upstream orientation and frequency of upstream movement of ripe male rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) in the presence of ovarian fluid obtained from spawning females of the same species were observed and quantified. In a stream tank, male trout moved upstream in the ovarian fluid odor plume. In an optomotor tank, male trout exhibited an increase in the frequency of upstream orientation and movement in the presence of diffuse, nondirectional ovarian fluid. It is concluded that water currents provide directional cues and olfactory stimuli regulate the orientational and kinetic components of the rheotropic response. The significance of this mechanism of orientation in fish migration is discussed. Key words: rheotropism, behavior, olfaction, orientation, migration, ovarian fluid
