231. Effects of Water Temperature and Curcumin-piperine Supplementation on Growth Performance and Carcass Traits in Juvenile Rainbow Trout.
Thermal stress can reduce overall growth and efficiency in various aquaculture species. Rising water temperatures, especially for cold-water species such as rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), can accelerate metabolic rates, change energy allocation, and increase oxidative load. Curcumin, a turmeric-derived polyphen...
