Abstract

For conserving the unique representative of salmonids—the Black Sea salmon Salmo trutta labrax—its hatchery rearing was initiated in 1998 at the Adler trout hatchery farm (Northern Caucasia). Fish were kept in concrete tanks. The comparative assessment of hatchery-reared fish and salmon from natural populations revealed their similarity by dates of the onset of smoltification, ratio of spawners maturing at different ages, and the weight, sizes, and fecundity of females. The quality of sexual products and progeny obtained from spawners of the initial brood stock was high. The data obtained indicate that the method of hatchery rearing the Black Sea salmon is promising.
