“…This suggested that length growth depends on feeding rate and not on condition factors (Kooijman, 2000). These results supported the "mass-for-length" rule proposed by McCauley et al (1990) and Gurney et al (1990) or the "ideal" reserveto-structure ratio proposed by Broekhuizen et al (1994) to explain compensatory growth responses in salmonid fishes. These studies hypothesized that starving animals give priority to the recovery of body mass over reproduction or structural growth whenever their mass-to-length ratio falls below an appropriate or "healthy" level.…”

“…Some models of compensatory growth in fish have suggested that the associated hyperphagia would abate as the body composition of the deprived fish returned to control levels. Broekhuizen et al (1994) hypothesized that hyperphagia restored the ratio of reserve to structural material. The lipostatic model for fish (Jobling and Johansen, 1999;Johansen et al, 2002) proposed that lipid levels play a regulatory role in feed intake.…”

We investigated compensatory growth of Nile Tilapia Oreochromis niloticus in structural size and live weight in response to different deprivation periods and refeeding. Four treatments were assigned randomly to fish in 12 glass tanks, with each treatment performed in triplicate. The control group was fed to satiation three times a day throughout the experiment. The other three treatment groups were starved for 1 week (S1), 2 weeks (S2), or 4 weeks (S4) and then fed until the end of the experiment. After the experiment, no significant differences were observed among S1, S2, and the control group in average weight or length, whereas the weight and length of S4 were significantly reduced. Relative condition factors of the three starved groups decreased significantly until the end of the restricted period but recovered rapidly after refeeding. The specific growth rate in weight (SGR W ) of the three restricted groups recovered quickly upon refeeding and were significantly higher than the control group, but these differences disappeared gradually until the end of the experiment. No significant difference in specific growth rate in length (SGR L ) was noted between the control group and the three restricted groups after refeeding. All three groups showed hyperphagia for a short period upon refeeding, and no statistical differences were observed in feeding efficiency among the four groups.

“…Several models describing the triggering mechanism for compensatory growth have focused on some form of lipostatic regulation (Broekhuizen et al 1994, Johansen et al 2001). These models incorporate variation in the mass of storage tissues relative to body size, having been developed in response to numerous experiments involving the starvation and re-feeding of fishes.…”

“…After spawning, male smallmouth bass typically defend the larval and early-fry stages of their offspring for a period of 10-15 days during which they do not feed, whereas female bass typically resume normal locomotory and feeding behaviors immediately [29,30]. Compensatory growth of male smallmouth bass may explain why a difference in timing of annulus formation was not detected between male and female bass.…”

Abstract:Walleye Sander vitreus and smallmouth bass Micropterus dolomieu were sampled monthly (May-October) from Lake Sharpe, South Dakota during 2006 and 2007 to estimate the timing of otolith annulus formation and to evaluate the influence of fish age, sex, and sample location (walleye only) on the timing and detection of annulus formation. Timing of annulus formation was evaluated using marginal increment analysis. Walleye samples were stratified by age, sex, and sample location (i.e., upper and lower Lake Sharpe) and smallmouth bass samples were stratified by age and sex. Monthly mean marginal increment measurements for both species generally increased from May to June, declined in July, and slowly increased from August to October. Although monthly differences in marginal increment measurements across analysis strata were rarely consistent, July generally had the lowest mean marginal increment across species and strata, suggesting that annulus formation in walleye and smallmouth bass in Lake Sharpe likely occurs in July. The lack of differences in timing of annulus formation across species-specific strata was surprising given the well-known influences of age, sex, and water temperature on somatic growth. Nonetheless, results will aid managers in improving the accuracy of age estimates.
