An experiment was designed and carried out to test the effect of covered troughs upon the growth rate of cutthroat trout. Analysis of the resultant data showed the trout in open troughs to have a significantly greater growth rate than those in covered troughs. The growth rate in open troughs was greater by 13.8 per cent.
