The relationship between carcass weight and organ weight of rainbow trout was investigated in Zreplicates usin a total of 300 trout of a Danish population. Within replicates, the trout were of a proximately $e same age. Absolute organ weights increased with increasing carcass weight while geir weights as a roportion of carcass weight decreased. Heart and liver weight were highly correlated with carcass weigit (.61-.81 and .86-.87, respectively), while the correlation between spleen and carcass weight was moderate (.29-.54). The coefficients of regression for organ weights on carcass weight were consistent between the two replicates. The regression of liver weight on carcass weight of 20 mg/g was about 10-times larger than that for spleen weight and 20-times larger than the regression of heart weight on carcass weight. In a separate multiple regression analysis it was estimated that 70 YO to 84 YO of the variance in carcass weight could be explamed by variance of organ weights with the main effect (86 %-99 '70) due to variances in liver weight. Correlation and regression coefficients between relative organ wei+ts and carcass weight were quite variable. The impact of autocorrelation regarding these results is discussed. Zusammenfassung Beziebung zwischen Schlachtkorpergewit und Organgewichten bei geziichteten RegenbogenforellenDie Beziehung zwischen Schlachtkorpergewicht und Organgewichten bei Regenbo enforellen wurde in 2 DurchgZngen an insgesamt 300 Forellen einer &nischen Herkunfr untersuctt. Innerhdb des Durchgangs waren die Forellen etwa gleich alt. Die absoluten Organgewichte nahmen zu mit steigendern Schlachtkorper ewicht wihrend die relativen Organgewichte, ausgedriickt in Prozent des Schlachtkorpergewicks, abnahmen. Die Herz-und Lebergewichte waren hoch korreliert mit dem Schlachtkorpergewicht (.61-.81 und 36-37). Die Korrelation zwischen Milz-und Schlachtkorpergewicht lag im mittleren Bereich (29-.54). Die Regrpionskoeffizienten fiir die Regression der Organgewichte auf das Schlachtkorpergewicht zeigten Ubereinstimmung zwischen den Durchgkgen. Die Regression des Lebergewichts auf das Schlachtkorpergewicht war mit 20 mg/g etwa 10 mal so grog wie fiir das Milz ewicht und 20 mal so grog wie die Regression des Hengewichts auf das Schlachtkii wicht.

Oral administration of 17a-methyltestosterone (MT) was used in two experiments to sex inverse gynogenic rainbow trout. In both experiments MT was mixed into the feed in dosages of .5 mg, 1 mg, and 3 mg/kg. In Experiment 1 the treatment lasted for 300" days, 450 days, and 700" days, and in Experiment 2 for 600" days, 750" days and 938" days. Significant C h i 4 uare tests ( I ' < 0.01, P < 0.001) regarding the number of phenotypic males in both experiments showel that MT dosage and treatment duration did not act independently. At about 1 year of a e the highest numbers of phenotypic males were achieved when a lower dosage (.5 mg or 1 mg) was feifor a longer duration (750" days, 938" days);100% males were found in the 1 mg-750" d and the .5 mg-938" d treatments. In the 1-year-old phenotypic males in Experiment 2, body weight and gonad wei ht were correlated with r = 0.60 (P < 0.001). The analyses of variance showed that body weight was affected by gonad weight group and MT dosage, while gonad weight was not affected by MTdosage or treatment duration. Data on sex distribution at maturity are available for Experiment 1. Here, too, the lower dosages of .5 mg and 1 mg/kg applied for the longer 700" day duration, as well as the 1 mg-450" day treatment, and achieved the best results of 60% phenotypic males. Zusammenfassung Die Venuendung van 17a-Methyltestosterone zurphanotypischen Geschlechtsumkehr bei gynogenetischen weibfuhen RegenbogenforelfenIn 2 Versuchen zur phanotypischen Geschlechtsumwandlung gyno enetisch weiblicher Regenbogenforellen wurde 17a-Methyltestosteron (MT) oral verabreicht. In beiien Versuchen war MT in Konzentrationen von 0.5 mg, 1.0 mg und 3.0 mg/kg dem Futter beigemischt. InVersuch 1 wurde jedes Futter f i r eine Zeitdauer von 300 Tagesgraden (T), 450 T" und 700 T" gefiaert, und in Versuch 2 jeweils fur die Dauer von 600 T", 750 T" und 938 T".

Im Alter von etwa 1 Jahr wurden die meisten phanotypischen Mannchen durck Kombination von geringerer MT-Konzentration (0.5 mg oder 1 mg/kg) und langerem MT-Funereinsatz (750 T", 938 l?) erzielt. 100% Minnchen wurden in den Versuchsgruppen 1 mg-750 T" und 0.5 mg-938 T" gefunden.

Die Varianzanalyse zeigte, dai3 T a s Korpergewicht vom Gonadengewicht und der MT-Konzentration abhangig war, wahrend das Gonadengewicht unabhangig war von MT-Konzentration und Behandlungsdauer.

The relationshi s among carcass weight, acid-base-balance of the blood as an indicator for metabolic load susceptibif&, meat quality parameters, and body Composition were investigated in rainbow trout. Examinations were carried out in two replicates using a total of 300 trout from a Danish population. Within replicates, the trout were of ap roximately the same age. In Replicate I trout, increasing carcass weight was accompanied by a more arkaline reaction of the blood. Carcass weight was significantly correlated with blood-pH and bicarbonate concentration (.19 and .26). Regression coefficients, however, confirmed only an increase of bicarbonate concentration with increasing carcass weight (b = .013 mmol/L per g, sb = 0.005). In meat quality parameters, muscular pH14 values decreased linearly in both replicates with increasing carcass weight, as shown b significant correlation estimates (-20 and -.27) and regression coefficients (b = -.0006, sb = .0002, a n d i = -.001, sb = .0003). Relationshi s of other meat quality parameters to inmeasin5 carcass wei ht were evaluated differently by corriation and regression coefficients. No relationship was found %etween carcass weight and body composition. In general, correlation estimates describing interrelations between acid-base and meat quality arameters were on a very low level. Independent from carcass weight, there were clearly metabolically!oaded and unloaded trout as well as trout with a mixed acid-base-status. Acid-base parameters were significantly correlated with each other. Generally, estimates for correlations between meat quality parameters were on a very low level. Body composition arameters, dry weight and crude fat content were highly significantly correlated (0.47) in Replicate h; in Replicate I there was no interrelation.
