Abstract
Arctic char (Salvelinus alpinus) raised in 24-h light exhibited signif icantly lower specific growth rates, reduced body condition, and less efficient feed conversions than fish grown under photoperiods with 20- , 16-, and 12-h light durations. There were no significant differences among fish grown with 20-, 16-, or 12-h light periods for any of thes e variables.
