Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1970 fall chinook salmon feeding trials indicated that dry pelleted diets were equal to moist pelleted diets with similar formulations. A superior diet was produced by reducing the ratio of dried whey product and wheat germ meal to 1:1 and eliminating cottonseed meal. This formulation feed at a 45-percent protein level was more efficient than other protein levels fed. Growth was not reduced when the soybean oil supplement was lowered from 6 to 2 percent of the diet. Two corn distillers' products that were substituted as partial replacements for dried whey product did not enhance fish growth. Storage of the Abernathy dry pellet at room temperature did not alter the nutritional adequacy of the diet.
