We examined the effects of the following seven experimental diets that varied in the concentration of inactivated cells of Enterococcus faecalis(Ef) and mannan oligosaccharides (MOS), on Rainbow Trout Oncorhynchus mykiss: control (C) diet (no Efand no MOS), diet E0.25% (2.5 g/kg Ef), diet E0.5% (5 g/kg Ef), diet M0.25% (2.5 g/kg MOS), diet M0.5% (5 g/kg MOS), diet EM0.25% (2.5 g/kg Ef+ 2.5 g/kg MOS) and diet EM0.5% (5 g/kg Ef+ 5 g/kg MOS). Rainbow Trout, initially weighing 36.27 ± 0.42 g (mean ± SD) were distributed into fourteen 60-L glass tanks at a stocking density of 35 fish per tank. Each diet was hand-fed to duplicate groups of fish twice daily for a 12-week period. After the feeding test, an intraperitoneal injection challenge test of Aeromonas salmonicidawas conducted over 14 d. Resulting data were submitted to a multivariate analysis of variance. Weight gain increased significantly (P< 0.05) in E0.25%, M0.25%, and EM0.5% experimental groups compared with the control. Specific growth rate was significantly higher (P< 0.05) in fish fed E0.25%, M0.25%, and EM0.5% diets compared with fish fed the C diet. Feed gain ratio and protein efficiency ratio were significantly improved (P< 0.05) in fish fed the EM0.5% diet compared with fish fed the C diet. Feed intake, protein efficiency ratio, protein retention, and the apparent digestibility coefficient recorded slight differences within experimental groups. Hematocrit value and phagocytic activity were significantly higher (P< 0.05) in fish fed E0.25%, E0.5%, M0.5%, EM0.25%, and EM0.5% diets compared with fish fed the C diet. Except for fish in the E0.25% group, fish in all other experimental groups showed a significantly higher (P< 0.05) mucus weight compared with those in the C group. After the challenge test, cumulative mortality and frequency of A. salmonicidawere significantly decreased (P< 0.05) in all experimental groups compared with the C group. In conclusion, dosage and single or combined supplementation of Efand MOS are factors that significantly affect fish performance.

The article discusses romantic landscape. The author focuses on the artworks of Frederick Lee Bridell, who was one of the artists in the Victorian era of 1950s concentrating on the physical styles of painting. Bridell is an underestimated artist though displaying such passion as Ruskin who brings devouring intensity in their artworks.

The article reviews the exhibition "The Spouted Ewer and its Relatives in the Far East" at the Barlow Gallery in Brighton, England from October 4, 1984 to November 17, 1984.

The article presents the catalogue titled "S. Marchant and Son: Blanc De Chine." The catalogue records the exhibition of blanc de chine by the auction firm S. Marchant and Son in London, England. It contains an introduction by D. S. Freedman and illustrations of the art works that were featured in the exhibition. It is indicated that the entries in the catalogue reproduce marks, and include references to the classic works by various artists. The introductory comments on the new evidence that might seem to confirm a late Ling date for types hitherto thought to have been made after 1675.
