“…On the other hand, no compensatory growth was recorded in gilthead sea breams on 60 day restricted feeding regimes (Bavcevic et al, 2010) and in another study, sea breams exposed to different starvation periods did not show any compensatory growth during a 10 week cycle (Peres et al, 2011). Some similar partial compensation results have been obtained in previous studies carried out on different fish species and feeding models (Jobling, 1993;Hayward et al, 2000;Ali and Jauncey, 2004;Wang et al, 2005Wang et al, , 2009Eroldoğan et al, 2006Eroldoğan et al, , 2008Mattila et al, 2009;Liu et al, 2011). Additionally, full compensation (Kim and Lovell, 1995;Gaylord and Gatlin, 2001;Zhu et al, 2001Zhu et al, , 2005Qin, 2003, 2004;Nikki et al, 2004;Oh et al, 2007) and over compensation levels have also been obtained (Hayward et al, 1997;Turano et al, 2007).…”

Key words:Aeromonas hydrophila, Fingerlings, Oreochromis niloticus, Refeeding, Starvation Knowledge of how fish respond to starvation periods could provide a basis for improved nutrition, rearing, disease control and thereby help to optimize Oreochromis niloticus culture. In the current study, the effect of alternative starvation-refeeding regime was monitored on some growth, hematological and serum biochemical parameters in Nile tilapia fingerlings; followed by checking the role of these feeding schedules in combating the disease challenge. The study was performed in glass aquariums at the aquaculture research unit, Sakha, Kafr El-Sheikh governorate, Egypt using 375 Oreochromis niloticus fingerlings weighing 29±0.5 gram. Fingerlings were subjected to different starvation periods (7, 10, 14, 21 days), followed by 30 days of refeeding on a commercial fish ration (25% protein). Fish growth parameters, hematological and serum biochemical parameters were recorded before starvation, before refeeding and after 30 days of refeeding. The experimental challenge was carried out to determine the effect of different starvation intervals followed by refeeding regimes on the immunity of O. niloticus fingerlings; against bacterial infection with Aeromonas hydrophila through recording mortality rates and the histopathological finding.The collected results revealed that fingerlings can recover all the hematological and serum biochemical parameter values of all food deprived groups close to the normal level of full-fed control fish; concluding that O. niloticus can easily be cultured on suitable economic short-time feeding regime with subsequent refeeding in alternate days without any significant differences in fish size and final production (reducing the food amount and cost required for production cycle). Besides, short-term starvation prior to a bacterial infection followed by subsequent refeeding could promote the defense mechanism of the fish to fight against Aeromonas hydrophila.

“…The differences in lipid physiology were evaluated with a special focus on the most advanced group, which must fuel both oogenesis and a long spawning migration while fasting. The extensive number of fish species that undergo periods of starvation or fasting has prompted numerous studies on varying aspects of the effects on growth and reproduction, and especially on compensatory growth in aquaculture finfish species (7,12,13,25,39). In the case of eels, only the overwinter fast by previtellogenic eels has received some attention (32,35).…”

During certain stages in an animal's life cycle, energy requirements may exceed energy intake from the diet. The spawning migration of temperate eels is a textbook example of negative energy balance, forcing these fish to rely on stored fats (triacylglycerides) to provide their muscles with energy for swimming and their growing oocytes with the nutrients needed to develop and support healthy offspring. We predicted broad implications of this great need for endogenous triacylglycerides in terms of their packaging, transport, and ovarian uptake. To test this, serum lipid concentrations and transcript abundances of intestinal and hepatic triacylglyceride packagers and ovarian triacylglyceride modifiers and receivers were investigated throughout previtellogenesis (feeding phase) and into early vitellogenesis (fasting phase) in short-finned eels. A switch from exogenous to endogenous triacylglyceride packaging was seen as the liver upregulated transcript levels of apolipoprotein B and microsomal triacylglyceride transport protein and downregulated those of apolipoprotein E and lipoprotein lipase. In the intestine, the reverse response was observed. Furthermore, ovarian transcript abundances of triacylglyceride modifiers and receivers increased (apolipoprotein E, lipoprotein lipase, and vitellogenin receptor), indicative of increased triacylglyceride uptake during previtellogenesis. We propose that increased hepatic apolipoprotein B production is a conserved vertebrate response to prolonged periods of negative energy balance.

“…Many fish species, such as European minnow Phoxinus phoxinus (Russell & Wootton ), Atlantic cod Gadus morhara (Jobling et al . ), Atlantic salmon (Johansen, Ekli, Stangnes & Jobling ), barramundi Lates calcarifer (Tian & Qin ), tongue sole Cynoglossus semilaevis (Tian, Fang & Dong ) and Chinese sturgeon Acipenser sinensis (Liu, Wei, Wen, Jiang, Wu & Shi ) have the ability to grow unusually fast, and catch up in weight with continuously fed controls after a period of restricted feeding, even, in several cases, feed‐restricted fish exhibit over‐compensatory growth (hybrid sunfish, Hayward et al . ; channel catfish, Kim & Lovell ; Chatakondi & Yant ).…”

An 8‐week feeding trial was conducted to evaluate compensatory growth of juvenile black sea bream, Acanthopagrus schlegelii (initial weight 9.56 ± 0.12 g) in fifteen 300 L indoors flow‐through circular fibreglass tanks. Feeding regimes was designed as follows: the control group (fed continuously), and S1, S2, S3 and S4 groups experienced 1, 2, 3 and 4 days of feed deprivation and then refeeding for the remaining days per week respectively. Changes in body weight, specific growth rate (SGR), feed intake (FI) and feed efficiency ratio (FER) were examined biweekly during the trial. At the end of the cyclical feeding periods, survival was not significantly affected by feeding strategy (P > 0.05). Final body weight of fish in S1 group was significantly higher than the control group (P < 0.05) after an 8 weeks trial, and fish in the S2 group reached the same body weight of the control fish (P > 0.05), however, the growth data in the S3 and S4 groups could not catch‐up with the control treatment (P < 0.05). In the first 4 weeks, SGR values of fish with feed deprivation more than 2 days per week were inferior to those of control group (P < 0.05); however, no significant differences of SGR were observed among the groups for the last 4 weeks (P > 0.05). FI increased significantly with the starvation days increasing during the whole feeding trial (P < 0.05). At the periods 2, 4 and 6 weeks, FER values increased significantly with increasing feed‐deprivation days up to S2 group and then levelled off (P < 0.05); however, FER in S2 group was only higher than that in S0 and S1, but no significant differences were found among the other treatments at the end of week 8. Significant differences were found in apparent digestibility coefficients (ADCs) of dry matter and crude protein among the treatments, while ADCs of crude lipid were unaffected. Protein and lipid contents in whole body and dorsal muscle showed declining tendency with increasing food deprivation days, while moisture contents tended to increase (P < 0.05). Serum parameters were markedly affected by feeding regimes except for total protein concentration and thyroxine level. The present results indicated that starvation for 1 and 2 days per week of juvenile black sea bream could achieve over‐compensation and complete compensation respectively. However, in case of longer term feed restriction regime, fish failed to obtain good growth performance.
