Light is one of the most important environmental factors in fish life. The effect of photoperiod on the growth performances and survival of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) larvae and fingerlings was investigated in two consecutive experiments. In both experiments fishes were exposed to four treatments (24L/0D, 16L/8D, 8L/16D, 0L/24D) (light: dark, L: D) in three replicates. The results of first experiment indicated that photoperiod affected on the growth performances in larval stage of rainbow trout. The best weight gain and specific growth rate was observed in 24L: 0D and 16L: 8D without significant differences between them and the lowest rates was achieved in 0L: 24D. Also in second experiment, the effect of photoperiod on the growth performances was significant difference and the highest growth rate and specific growth rate was observed in 8L: 16D and the lowest in 24L: 0D and 0L: 24D. Our results showed that the effect of photoperiod in rainbow trout depends to developmental stage and larvae unlike fingerlings have better growth in long light phases.
