This photo shows the cultivation of the Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss<\/em>) in 300 m3<\/sup> floating cages, in the dam of Apizaquito, Tlaxcala, Mexico. The cages are stocked at the rate of 16.7 organism m3<\/sup>, with trout fingerlings of 5 grams and 3 centimeters of starting average weight and length, respectively. Commercial feed of 45% protein and 16% fat have been used at a daily rate of 5% of fish body weight. The key water quality parameters were adequate whereas temperature ranged from 16 to 19 \u00b0C, pH from 7.4 to 8.4, dissolved oxygen from 6 to 7 ppm, transparency from 42 to 52 cm. In regard to the production economics of such project, the net profit was USD 1800\/cage per the 6-month growing period whereas the biomass of harvested fish was 2.48 kg\/m3<\/sup>.<\/span><\/p>\n
