Popis: Larvae of Coregonus lavaretus were fed for 36 days on a commercial dry diet under laboratory conditions (small tanks of 6.51 stocked at an initial density of 100 larvae/1). Two feeding durations (24 h or 9 h/day) and temperature patterns (10.5 °C constant; first 16 days at 16 °C and last 20 days at 10.5 °C) were tested. For each temperature condition, continuous feeding supported a significant increase in growth (74–91% average wet weight gain) at 36 days, without changing the survival rates (>79%) for all groups. For a given feeding duration, the initial growth was significantly better at 16 °C than at 10 °C. No growth advantage was obtained by 16 days of initial daily feeding at 16 °C when compared to continuous feeding at 10 °C. However, continuous feeding allowed the best utilization of warmer water as large (50 mg) larvae were obtained in only 16 days at 16 °C and these prefed larvae adapted well to a change to colder (10 °C) water.
