“…Therefore, this strategy can be adopted in the diet of these species without compromising their performance. Xiao et al (2013), while working with juvenile black seabream (Acanthopagrus schlegelii), in addition to observing complete compensation in fish under food restriction for two days per week, also verified a weight gain/ performance that was superior to fish subjected to one day of food restriction per week, thereby providing evidence of growth overcompensation.…”

The productive performance and the variable cost of production were evaluated for different feeding strategies for tilapia during the production cycle. A sample of 2,000 juvenile tilapia was distributed (23.55 ± 2.38 g) into five treatments and with four repetitions as follows: C (feed consumption to apparent satiety), R20 (beginning feed restriction when fish reached an average weight of 20 g), R200 (beginning feed restriction when fish reached an average weight of 200 g), R400 (beginning feed restriction when fish reached an average weight of 400 g) and R600 (beginning feed restriction when fish reached an average weight of 600 g). The fish were given extruded commercial feed containing 34% crude protein until they reached a weight of 200 g, at which time they received feed containing 32% crude protein. Monthly biometrics were performed in order to determine the food restriction starting point, which was one day of restriction followed by six feeding days. The following parameters were evaluated: water quality, productive performance variables, the variable costs of production and excreted nitrogen. The results were subjected to analysis of variance, and the means were compared using Tukey's test (5% significance). No statistical differences were observed in final weight, weight gain, feed consumption, feed conversion or survival. The fish from the R20 treatment had the lowest variable cost of production (g fish -1 ) and the lowest nitrogen excretion into the water. This suggests that feed restriction from the early stages of life does not compromise the productive performance and contributes to reducing the variable costs and the quantity of nitrogen excreted into the environment. Thus, a one-day per week feed restriction strategy can be applied from the earliest stages of life without compromising the productive performance or body composition of Nile tilapia. This strategy can also reduce variable costs of production by means of reducing relative labour and feed costs. (23,55 ± 2,38 g) em cinco tratamentos e quatro repetições: C (consumo até a saciedade aparente), R20 (início da restrição quando peixes atingiam peso médio de 20 g), R200 (início da restrição quando peixes atingiam peso médio de 200 g), R400 (início da restrição quando peixes atingiam peso médio de 400 g) e R600 (início da restrição quando peixes atingiam peso médio de 600 g). Os peixes foram alimentados com ração comercial extrusada com 34% de proteína bruta até atingirem 200 g, quando passaram a receber ração contendo 32% de proteína bruta. Foram realizadas biometrias mensais para determinação do início da restrição alimentar, que foi de um dia de restrição seguido de seis dias de alimentação. Foram avaliados os parâmetros de qualidade da água, variáveis de desempenho produtivo, os custos variáveis de produção e o nitrogênio excretado. Os resultados obtidos foram submetidos à análise de variância e as médias foram comparadas pelo teste Tukey (5%). Não foram verificadas diferenças estatísticas no peso final, ganho de peso, consumo de...

“…Fish fed consecutively for 3, 4, 5, and/or 6 days a week achieved a weight comparable to that of continuously fed fish. However, juvenile black sea bream and turbot Scophthalmus maximus had lower final body weights when fed 4, 5 and/or 6 days a week compared with fish fed daily (Li et al., ; Blanquet and Oliva‐Teles, ; Xiao et al., ). In their studies, the fish weight, feed intake, feed efficiency and protein efficiency ratio were found to be positively related to the number of deprivation days; but the feed efficiency and protein efficiency ratios were not affected by treatments (Blanquet and Oliva‐Teles, ; Oh et al., ).…”

“…More recently, the use of this temporally restricted feeding regime, i.e. a few days of feed deprivation followed by a few days of feeding to apparent satiation, was conducted to study the CG response of fish (Chatakondi and Yant, ; Li et al., ; Reigh et al., ; Turano et al., ; Cho and Cho, ; Foss et al., ; Kankanen and Pirhonen, ; Mattila et al., ; Cho, ; Yılmaz and Eroldogan, ; Xiao et al., ). This strategy was adopted because it attempts to mimic the natural fluctuation in prey availability and trigger intrinsic CG responses (Turano et al., ).…”

A factorial experiment was designed to examine the effect on compensatory growth (CG) of Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus fed diets containing different protein and lipid levels under normal and temporally restricted feeding regimes. Four diets were formulated to contain either 30% or 36% crude protein, and 5% or 11% crude lipid. Triplicate replicates of each treatment were assigned to 24 150-L tanks (20 fish/tank density). Fish (mean initial weight AE SD = 8.79 AE 0.34 g) were then fed either the normal feeding regime (thrice daily to apparent satiation) or the restricted regime (1 day feed deprivation followed by 3 days of feeding to apparent satiation) over a 44-days study period. Fish receiving a diet under the restricted regime achieved weight gains (WG) comparable to fish consuming the diet containing 30% protein and 5% lipids under the normal feeding regime. Fish maintained on the restricted feeding regime exhibited reduced feed intake (FI), WG, feed efficiency ratio (FE), protein efficiency rate (PER) and hepatosomatic index versus fish on the normal feeding regime, except WG in fish fed the diet with 30% protein and 5% lipids. However, the resultant FI (85%~94%) was higher than the excepted 75% intake when fish were subjected to the restricted regime. Feeding 11% lipid diets led to improved FI, WG, FE, and PER compared to feeding the 5% lipid diets. Increased FI, WG, and FE, but reduced PER were observed in fish fed with 36% protein versus fish fed 30% protein. Fish receiving the 36% protein diets had lower whole-body moisture and ash contents, but elevated whole-body protein and lipid contents compared to those receiving the 30% protein diets. Whole-body moisture contents were lower, but whole-body protein, lipid and ash contents were higher in fish fed 11% lipid diets than in fish fed 5% lipid diets. There was an increase in whole-body moisture content, but a decrease in protein and lipid content in response to the restricted feeding regime. Ash content was not affected by the feeding regime. The present study shows that Nile tilapia fed diets subjected to a restricted feeding regime exhibited growth comparable to those fed the diet at 30% protein and 5% lipid levels under a normal feeding regime. This positive effect was more pronounced in diets at a high protein level or in a combination of high protein and lipid levels.

A 60‐d experimental trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of alternative feeding, restriction feeding, and refeeding on digestive enzymes, metabolic enzymes, and metabolites in Rohu Labeo rohita fingerlings. Fish weighing around 13 ± 2 g were randomly distributed into four treatment groups and a control group. The control group was fed with 3% body mass twice a day throughout the experiment. The four treatment groups consisted of T1 (alternate day feeding), T2 (0.5% feeding), T3 (1% feeding), and T4 (2% feeding). The fish were fed for the first 30 d according to the feeding schedule, and from day 31 onwards all of the treatment groups were fed the same rations as were the control fish up to 60 d. The samples were collected on days 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 of the experimental trial. The activity of digestive enzymes decreased significantly (P < 0.05) in T1, T2, and T3 with respect to the control, and the lowest activities were found on day 30 of the experiment. The glucose‐6‐phospahate dehydrogenase activity decreased with the level of restriction feeding, with the lowest activity occurring at day 30 in the T2 group, and it improved with refeeding. The serum glucose, triglycerides, and cholesterol concentrations decreased, with the lowest levels occurring in the T2 group at day 30. The current study revealed that restriction feeding and refeeding affected the digestion and metabolism of Rohu fingerlings within a short period of 30 d, and refeeding restored the optimum activity levels within the same 30‐d period thereafter.
