Abstract
The present study was to evaluate the impact of feeding level and fish size on the growth factors,carcass composition and digestibility of rainbow trout. Six experimental treatments were assigned by the use of three feeding levels (maintenance, medium and satiation levels) and two fish sizes (43.02 ± 2.93 and 231.32± 6.74g) according to a 3×2 factorial design. There were three replicates for each treatment and the experiment lasted for 59 days. The results showed that there is a significant interaction effect between fish size and feeding level for body weight gain, final body weight and specific growth (p<0.05). Body composition (dry matter, energy, moisture, fat and protein) was affected by feeding level and size of the fish (p<0.05). However, the interaction effect between fish size and feeding level for body composition was not significant (p>0.05).The digestibility measurements showed that fish size and feeding level changed significantly digestibility of protein, lipid, energy and dry matter in rainbow trout (p<0.05). Maximum growth at satiation feeding level can reduce feed conversion ratio and increase waste production at both fish sizes.

Abstract
In the present study we investigated the effects of lysophospholipid (LPL) different levels on growth, hematological indices, hepatic enzymes and lysozyme activity in rainbow trout fed diets containing fat powder. Experimental diets were four different levels including 0, 3, 6 and 9 gkg-1 LPL and control diet (containing fish oil) each in triplicate. After 56 days of trial, measuring growth parameter suggested improvement of body weight increasing, specific growth rate and feed conversion ratio in LPL 9 compare to other diets containing fat powder, however, control diet owned the highest value (P<0.05). Also, inclusion of LPL caused an increasing in conditional factor of fish fed fat powder diets (P<0.05). According to the hematological indices, white blood cell highest value was observed in diets containing fat powder (P<0.05), while, red blood cell increased significantly by addition of 6 and 9 gkg-1 LPL to fat powder (P<0.05). Furthermore, administration of control and LPL 9 resulted in hematocrit enhancement among experimental diets (P<0.05). Enzyme evaluation revealed lower lysozyme activity in fat powder diets supplemented with 0 and 3 gkg-1 LPL compared other diets (P<0.05). Contrarily, hepatic enzymes elevated in fish fed fat powder diets (P<0.05). However, administration of 9 gkg-1 LPL led to decrease this value (P<0.05). Considering the results of the present study supplementation of 9 g LPL is suggested in rainbow trout diet containing ≈70% fat powder.
