Duplicate groups of seawater-adapted 70-g all-female chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) were held in flowing seawater (24–29‰; 8–12 °C) corresponding to swimming speeds (SS) of 0.5, 1.0, or 1.5 body lengths (bl)/s for 212 d. Fish were fed either a maximum satiating ration of 75% of maximum ration at each SS. Fish grew four- to fivefold during the study, but neither mean body weight, fork length, specific growth rate, condition factor, nor muscle morphometry was influenced by average SS. However, the SS of individually marked fish were negatively correlated with specific growth rate. At both rations, higher SS increased the internal tissue-carcass ratio, hepatosomatic index, and total body protein. More food was ingested at higher SS resulting in reduced feed efficiency. SS did not alter the plasma L-thyroxine (T4) concentration, but increased the plasma 3,5,3′-triiodo-L-thyronine (T3) concentration and T3/T4 ratio. In part, this may reflect the greater food intake at higher SS. The reduced ration depressed all aspects of growth and at 212 d tended to depress both plasma T4 and T3, but did not alter feed efficiency. We conclude that exercise over the range of 0.5–1.5 bl/s does not enhance growth, but reduces feed efficiency in seawater-adapted chinook salmon.

The ontogeny of precocious maturation in chinook salmon from Nicola River, British Columbia, was examined in conjunction with the effects of such maturation on smoltification and growth. A high proportion (56%) of male parr matured as yearlings. The growth patterns of precocious males and nonmaturing individuals of both sexes differed significantly. Precocious males appeared to grow rapidly relative to nonmaturing individuals in the early spring, but thereafter displayed a decreasing specific growth rate. In addition, precocious individuals gained more weight per increment of body length than nonmaturing individuals. The seawater adaptability of precocious individuals was lower than that of nonmaturing individuals at the three monthly sampling periods and decreased steadily as maturation proceeded.

Juvenile spring chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) (Rogue River stock) were reared in constant 8 °C well water under artificial lighting with photoperiods adjusted to Medford, Oregon. Juveniles were divided into six groups according to the amount of food provided. Growth (change in fork length per day) was linear from July through December for all six groups. Three distinct patterns of gill (Na + K)–ATPase activity were observed in these groups. In the two groups fed the largest rations, a peak in activity in October was observed with a smaller peak in July. Fish fed the smallest rations showed no increase in gill (Na + K)–ATPase activity throughout the year. At intermediate rations, there was a small peak in July but no peak in October. A growth rate of less than 0.027 cm/d appeared to suppress the October peak in gill (Na + K)–ATPase activity. Fish with higher growth rates showed peaks in activity in either October or NovemberKey words: chinook salmon, (Na + K)–ATPase, growth, photoperiod, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha

In intensive aquaculture farming activities will generate solid waste and liquid waste that comes from feces and leftover fish feed. The waste accumulation can lead to deterioration of water quality that affects the physiological processes, behavior, growth, and mortality of fish. Technological innovation is needed for the management of water quality and increase productivity as a result of shrinkage of cultivated land. One of the technological innovations that can be applied, namely the incorporation of fish farming with crops through Aquaponics system. This study aims to determine the effects of water spinach optimum density to absorb waste ammonia (NH3), nitrate (NO3) and nitrite (NO2) optimally to increase the survival rate and growth rate of african catfish (Clarias sp.) intensive As well as to see its effect on conversion rates and feed efficiency with aquaponics system. The method used is the experimental method. The experimental research is used to determine the effect of certain variable towards a group under controlled conditions. The results of measurements of ammonia levels during P0 showed that the treatment significantly different (p <0.05) with treatment P1; P2; and P3. P3 treatment with water spinach number 40 stems provide maximum results in lowering the concentration of ammonia compared with treatment P0 (without spinach), P1 (20 water spinach), and P2 (30 water spinach). The measurement results nitrite levels during the observation showed that all treatments there were no significant differences (p> 0.05). The measurement results also showed that the nitrate content whole of observation results showed that all treatments there were no significant differences (p> 0.05). The best feed conversion ratio was found in P3 treatment of 1.08. The best feed efficiency was found in P3 treatment 92,25%. The highest survival rate was found in P3 treatment (88.69%) in maintenance medium and lowest survival rate was in P0 treatment (26,71%) without water spinach  (control). The highest specific growth rate was found in P3 treatment (1.15%), while the lowest specific growth rate was in treatment P0 (0.79%).Results of water quality measurement supporting all treatments decreased and increased. The supporting water quality are temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen. The decrease and increase in support water quality is caused by environmental factors such as weather. Other parameters were observed in addition to supporting the water quality is water spinach plant growth. Value growth water spinach is best found in treatment P3. In the treatment P3 water spinach growth rose 5.14 cm with an initial size of 10.92 into 16.06.
