A semipurified test diet containing 1% linolenate as the sole dietary essential fatty acid was fed to a group of rainbow trout ( Salmo gairdneri ) for 34 months. The fish matured and the eggs produced were hatched. The second generation fry were fed our laboratory diet for 3 months. The growth of these fry was normal. Histologic examinations revealed no abnormality in liver, heart and kidney tissues of the fry during the three month period.
