Abstract
Growth and survival were compared for groups of first‐feeding fry of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) fed various commercially available and experimental starter diets. In two separate 8‐ to 9‐week studies, survival was highest (more than 90%) in fish fed a semimoist closed‐formula commercial diet (BioDiet). In one study, fish grew fastest on BioDiet, whereas in the second study they grew fastest on a liver‐supplemented diet. Some diets were not eaten by the fish, resulting in little growth and less than 40% survival.
