Rainbow trout:

large rainbow trout is a commodity and sensitive to price fluctuations.

Moreover, the present investigation has established that fresh and frozen large rainbow trout are interchangeable.

However, the argument that prices of large rainbow trout are set worldwide by the Japanese market, was not confirmed by the findings of the investigation.

It was argued that the price undercutting by Norwegian exports of large rainbow trout should not be considered significant and injurious to the Community industry.

Following the imposition of provisional duties on imports of large rainbow trout originating in Norway and the Faeroe Islands, some interested parties submitted comments in writing.

On the above basis, the apparent consumption of large rainbow trout on the Community market shows a slight increase in relation to the figures indicated in the provisional Regulation.

Regarding the production increase, it should be noted that the production of large rainbow trout follows a biological cycle of 2,5-3 years before it is harvested and sold on the market.

It cannot be excluded either that a substitution effect takes place, account being taken of the substitutability of large rainbow trout with salmon and the price differential between them.

In this respect it should be noted that in assessing whether the product concerned should be deemed to be alike to large rainbow trout produced in the Community, it was initially considered whether the various types of and presentations of large rainbow trout, i.e. fillets or whole fish, fresh or frozen, shared the same basic physical, technical and/or chemical characteristics.

One party argued that CN codes used by Eurostat during the IP covered also portion-sized trout not included in the product scope of this proceeding and therefore the export and import figures used in calculating the apparent Community consumption of large rainbow trout would be inaccurate.

The same party argued that since the imposition of provisional measures, Norwegian exports of large rainbow trout to the Community have decreased by over 60 per cent compared with the same period in 2002.

This decrease of supply appears set to increase in the future given the declining level of production of large rainbow trout in Norway, and to be detrimental to importers, the processing industry and consumers in the Community.

It was further argued that large rainbow trout is a commodity where the world prices are set in the dominant market of Japan, and that the Community prices followed these prices which dropped significantly during the same period.

In this respect it was considered that, in contrast to procedures such as smoking or marinating, the freezing of large rainbow trout does not alter the basic characteristics of the product, but solely allows its storage for a deferred consumption.

Moreover, it was argued that large rainbow trout farmed in salty waters in Norway has a specific positioning on the market and that restricting the access to this specific origin of the product by imposing a heavy duty did not favour free competition.

Whereas the Finnish producers have indeed sold a major proportion of their production of large rainbow trout on the Finnish market during the investigation period, the market share of other Community producers in that market represented more than 12 %.

Zebra fish and rainbow trout are the preferred species.

The Commission, by Regulation (EC) No 1628/2003(2) (the provisional Regulation) imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of large rainbow trout falling within CN codes 0302 11 20, 0303 21 20, 0304 10 15 and 0304 20 15, originating in Norway and the Faeroe Islands.

It was further argued that part of the production of large rainbow trout in the Community is destined for producing roe, and that fish grown to maturity to this end constitutes a product of a much inferior quality and therefore can not be considered as alike to the product concerned.

A number of parties in both Norway and the Faeroe Islands argued that, since their production of large rainbow trout was geared mainly towards the supply of the Japanese market, the dumping calculations did not take sufficient account of alleged physical differences between the quality types sold to that market and those sold to the European and domestic market.

This submission was based firstly, on the argument that the production of the Community industry which should not include the production of large rainbow trout used for captive transfers as further explained in recital 41, and secondly the argument that the total Community production figures for 2001 and 2002 reported by the Federation of European Aquaculture Producers (FEAP) are not reliable as there is no common method for collecting the data on production from the members of FEAP.

A definitive anti-dumping duty is hereby imposed on imports of large rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) whether fresh, chilled or frozen, whether in the form of whole fish (with heads and gills on, gutted, weighing more than 1,2 kg each or with heads off, gilled and gutted, weighing more than 1 kg each) or in the form of fillets (weighing over 0,4 kg each), currently classifiable within CN codes 0302 11 20, 0303 21 20, 0304 10 15 and 0304 20 15, originating in Norway and the Faeroe Islands.

Onchorhynchus mykiss (Teleostei, Salmonidae) (Walbaum 1988) Rainbow trout

If rainbow trout are present, only fish of that species shall be selected for sampling.

The isolates should represent the major group of viruses within the EU, e.g. for VHSV one pathogenic isolate from rainbow trout in freshwater and one marine isolate pathogenic for turbot and for IHNV one rainbow trout pathogenic strain from Europe.

If rainbow trout are not present, the sample has to be obtained from fish of all other species present whenever these species are susceptible to VHSV and/or IHNV (as listed in Annex A to Directive 91/67/EEC).

In order to increase the level of protection as regards introduction of fish into the area covered by the programme, live trout and other fish destined to restaurants for direct consumption as well as rainbow trout intended for introduction into certain artificial lakes or fish water, must come from farms or areas recognised as free of VHS and IHN.

Due to an outbreak of VHS in rainbow trout on the west coast of Finland, the authorities have decided to apply eradication measures in that new area, similar to those measures applied in the areas described in Annex I, point 6.2 to Decision 2003/634/EC.

Five hundred >ISO_7>ě>ISO_1>l of a 0,2 % (v/v) suspension of washed rabbit or horse red blood cells, or a 0,05 % (v/v) suspension of washed rainbow trout or Atlantic salmon red blood cells, shall be added to each well and incubated at room temperature for 45 minutes.

Member States shall authorise import of slaughtered Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ), sea trout ( Salmo trutta ) and rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ) originating in the Faroe Islands provided that they are eviscerated, or when they are non-eviscerated, provided that the consignments are accompanied by a certificate in accordance with the model laid down in Annex II of this Decision.

RTG-2 Rainbow trout gonad (cell line)

large rainbow trout is a commodity and sensitive to price fluctuations.

Azagly-nafarelin is rapidly absorbed after intraperitoneal treatment in rainbow trout.

Azagly-nafarelin is rapidly eliminated from plasma after IP treatment in rainbow trout.

The test must be conducted on juvenile rainbow trout, following exposure of 28 days to the active substance.

Female salmonid fish such as Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), brown trout (Salmo trutta) and Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus).

Moreover, the present investigation has established that fresh and frozen large rainbow trout are interchangeable.

The isolates should represent the major group of viruses within the EU, e.g, for VHSV one pathogenic isolate from rainbow trout in freshwater and one marine isolate pathogenic for turbot and for IHNV one rainbow trout pathogenic strain from Europe.

In fish, Gonazon has been studied in three studies of rainbow trout, two studies of Altlantic salmon, and one study of Arctic charr.

The acute toxicity of the active substance must be determined for rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and for a warm water fish species.

In fish, Gonazon is used to induce and synchronise ovulation (egg production) in female salmonids such as Atlantic salmon, rainbow trout, brown trout and Arctic charr for the production of eyed-eggs and fry.
