Abstract: Comparison of growth performance and carcass composition of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum, 1792) reared in fiberglass tanks and cages placed in a concrete pond.In this study, comparison of growth performance and carcass composition of rainbow trout which are commonly cultured in our country and the world, grown reared fiberglass tanks and cages situated in a concrete pond.It was found out that the fish fed in cages had higher length gain (21.85±2.328)than those cultured in fiberglass tanks (20.65±2.043cm).No significant difference was found between the lengths of the fish in the two groups (P>0.05).Weight increase was higher in fish reared in cages (132.95±3.41g) then in tanks (106.75±4.96g).It was found that groups were significantly different in terms of weight gain (P<0.05).In this experiment, edible parts of the fishes gain in the cages and fiberglass tanks were 71.0±1.37g and 70.11±0.84g, respectively (P>0.05).Finally, the groups had similar filet and visceral dry matter, crude ash, protein and lipid levels (P>0.05).
