Abstract

Significantly heavier fry of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and greatly reduced mortality apparently resulted from the use of matrix substrates during egg incubation and alevin development. Salmon fry produced by this method fed readily and did not have the constricted yolk sacs that commonly occur when conventional rearing methods are used.
