Summary The study is an attempt to evaluate the feasibility of intensive tench culture using non‐specific diets as a preliminary step to check the acclimatization of the species under intensive rearing systems. Five‐month‐old juvenile tench were reared in recirculating systems at mean water temperatures of 22°C for 75 days. Fish fed with four different commercial diets (trout starter, trout first feeding, sea‐bass and eel), showed significantly higher final weights than the fish fed either eel or sea‐bass diets. Initial weight for all treatments was 2.3 ± 0.53 g. Final weight for the commercial diet groups was 3.56 ± 0.4 g, compared with the remaining groups that reached 2.09 ± 0.47 g (P < 0.05). Significantly higher survival rates were observed in the eel and sea‐bass groups (84.7 and 51.5%, respectively) than in either of the trout diet groups (38%). Specific growth rates (1.26 vs –0.18) and condition factor (1.26 vs 0.93) were also higher than those fed with salmonid diets (P < 0.05). Results obtained in this study indicate that regardless of the species’ slow growth, when compared with other cyprinids, final growth rates and survival of tench fed exclusively on sea‐bass or eel diets can be considered satisfactory. It must be pointed out that these promising results were obtained at lower temperatures than previous studies of tench in culture systems. The use of belt feeders did not show improvement in growth compared with manually fed fish when trout diets were used.
