Abstract

The use of natural dietary supplements in aquaculture has received a great deal of attention in recent years. This article provides data describing body weight and length of rainbow trout juveniles fed with natural dietary supplements dihydroquercetin, arabinogalactan or a mixture of both in an aquaria experiment. Before feeding trial, rainbow trout were tagged to identify individuals. Fish grown in tanks were fed one of four diets in duplicate: a basal diet without any supplements (control diet) or a basal diet supplemented with dihydroquercetin (experimental diet 1), arabinogalactan (experimental diet 2) or a mixture of both (experimental diet 3). Our dataset could be used to evaluate the effect of dihydroquercetin, arabinogalactan or a mixture of both on the growth performance of cultivated rainbow trout.
