Objective:
Objectives of this research are to develop improved diet formulations and rainbow trout stocks that meet the economic and growth requirements of commercial aquaculturists by: formulating and testing sustainable plant-based diets and evaluating selected rainbow trout families.

Approach:
This research performed under institutional biosafety policies will benefit commercial aquaculturists, by improving formulations for commercial diets by testing the plant-based sustainable diets in a commercial setting. Rainbow trout selected for growth on these diets will also be evaluated for production traits in a commercial setting and tested for incorporation into the facilities broodstock.
