Title : CONDITION FACTOR AND LENGTH-WEIGHT RELATIONSHIP OF HUCHEN (HUCHO HUCHO) FINGERLINGS IN CULTIVATED CONDITIONS
Abstract : The experiment of determining the condition factors and length-weight relationship of cultivated huchen (Hucho hucho) fingerlings aged 8 (beginning) to 11 months (end), was conducted in the aquaculture laboratory of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Banja Luka for 91 days. A total of 35 huchen fingerlings of average body weight (W) (± SD) of 6.00 ± 1.74 g, total body length (TL) of 8.95 ± 0.98 cm, fork length (FL) 8.36 ± 0.90 cm and standard length (SL) 7.74 ± 0.85 cm were housed in three flow-through aquariums (65 l / aquarium). Body lengths and weights were measured once a month. The huchen fingerlings feeding was according to appetite, using commercial trout feed. The aim of this study was to determine the condition factor and the length - weight relationship of huchen (Hucho hucho) fingerlings in cultivated conditions. The growth of body length and weight of fingerlings was expressed by a highly positive correlation (r2 = 0.979). Negative allometric growth (b < 3) was determined for the total observed period, with a tendency to intensify growth in the last observed period when positive allometric growth (b > 3) was recorded. The length-weight relationship of huchen fingerlings was calculated as W = 0.011995L2.822. A highly positive correlation between body length (TL, FL and SL) and body weight was found. The condition factor (CF) huchen fingerlings for the whole observed period averaged 0.82.
