An experiment was carried out to study the effect of temperature of 12℃,15℃,18℃.20℃ and a running water control(range 4 to 7℃,average 6℃) on growth for 30 days(starting on the day fry floating in 12℃) in a full-sib all female rainbow trout(Oncorhynchus mykiss) family.Further,all the treatment groups were moved to the same condition as the control group in running water for another 90 days.On the day of 30,60,90,120 post fry floating,the growth traits,such as weight and length of the juvenile trout were measured for the treatment and control groups.Analyses of variance and Tukey-Kramer HSD test were used to determine if significant(P0.05) differences existed between the groups.The results of variance analysis showed that,for the body weight on the age of 30 day,the largest mean was 18℃ group,in turn,the 15℃,20℃,12℃ and the lowest was the control;for the body length,the largest mean was the 15℃ group,in turn,the 12℃,18℃,20℃ and the lowest was also the control.The results of Tukey-Kramer HSD test showed that the highest order for the body weight on the age of 30 day was 18℃ and 15℃ groups and the highest order for the body length on the age of 30 day was 15℃ group.On the age of 60 days,12 ℃,15 ℃,18 ℃,20 ℃,the body weight of all the four treatment groups were still significant higher than the control group(P 0.001),the largest mean was still the 15℃ group,,this state remained on the age of 90 and 120 days.The above results showed that 15 ℃ was probably the optimal growth temperature of juvenile fish for the all female rainbow trout family.Just giving a 15 ℃ temperature control for 30 days,the all female juvenile fish could continuous remain significantly growth advantage during the next three months.
