The project will reveal the best rearing strategy in terms of temperature, salinity, photoperiod and feeding strategy of Arctic charr at different rearing regimes and thus ensure optimal use of rearing facilities and other resources involved. The studies have been structured in such a way that the results can be easily implemented into production protocols while maintaining necessary scientific standards. In addition to focus on productivity, growth and feed conversion, the project will also deal with the effect of the different environmental manipulations on product quality at slaughtering. The project is divided into four work packages (tasks): 1. The effect of rearing temperature on growth and feed conversion of Arctic charr from juvenile stage and through the grow-out period. 2. The effect of different photoperiod on growth and maturation of Arctic charr. 3. The effect of salinity on the growth and food conversion of Arctic charr during grow-out phase. 4. Compensatory growth in Arctic char effect on feeding efficiency, and growth rate.
