“…In other studies, hyperphagic responses have been obtained in many fish species during compensation growth (Hayward et al, 1997;Gaylord and Gatlin 2000;Tian and Qin, 2003;Zhu et al, 2005;Oh et al, 2007;Bavcevic et al, 2010). Ali et al (2003) explained that in short food deprivation periods where sufficient food is available between the starvation periods, a hyperphagic reaction during refeeding can prevent measurable growth depression, thus the growth patterns of continuously fed and temporarily deprived fish become almost identical.…”

“…Similarly,10-day sampling periods of our study, both SGR and FI values increased during the refeeding period in 2 cycled 5 day starvation / 20 days satiation (G2) and single cycle 10 days starvation / 40 days satiation (G3) groups compared to the control group. The tendencies of SGR values depending on the length of the starvation period were reported for three cyprinid species (Leuciscus cephalus, Chalcalburnus chalcoides mento, and Scardinius erythrophthalmus) (Wieser et al, 1992), hybrid tilapia (Wang et al, 2000(Wang et al, , 2005, barramundi (Tian and Qin, 2003), red sea bream (Oh et al, 2007) and olive flounder (Cho and Cho, 2009) species. The higher feed intake in starved fishes compared to the control group during the refeeding period was interpreted as an effort for compensate for body weight lost during the starvation period.…”

“…Wang et al (2000), in their 8 week study on hybrid tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus × O.niloticus), found the feed intake and specific growth rate values during refeeding period in fish starved for 1, 2 or 4 weeks significantly higher compared to the control group and reported that these fish showed some compensative reactions. During 8 weeks with a single phase of starvation, it was found that growth and chemical composition was related with duration of food deprivation in barramundi, Lates calcarifer (Tian and Qin, 2003). In another study, following 2 weeks of restricted feeding, fishes were fed until they were satiated for 5 weeks and it was reported that compensation had not occurred in the highest restricted feeding group (Tian and Qin, 2004).…”

This study was designed to investigate the effects of starvation and refeeding cycles on growth performance and body chemical composition of juvenile sea bass. For this purpose, a total of 720 juveniles with an initial mean weight (IW) of 5.85±0.54 g were divided into 12 tanks (400 L) in triplicate groups. During the period of the experiment, the control group (C) was fed to satiation three times a day. The feeding regimes of the other three groups were designed as follows: 2 days starvation / 8 days satiation (G1) (5 cycles), 5 days starvation / 20 days satiation (G2) (2 cycles) and 10 days starvation / 40 days satiation (G3) (1 cycle). After 50 days, only group G1 demonstrated partial compensatory growth. The difference between the final weights (FW) of groups was found statistically significant (P<0.05). Specific growth rates (SGR) of fasting groups were lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). G1group was determined to have the best values of feed conversion ratio (FCR) and economic conversion ratio (ECR). Hepatosomatic index (HSI) did not differ significantly between groups (P>0.05). Total fat (TF) was lowest in G3 (P<0.05). The partial compensation by group G1 presents possibilities for economic optimization.

“…Wang et al (2009) observed that Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) subjected to cycles of one to four weeks of food deprivation, followed by two to eight weeks of refeeding, showed partial compensatory growth. According to Tian & Qin (2003), total compensation is possible only when the body mass of food deprived animals is not inferior to 60% of that of continuously fed fish.…”

“…Several studies have focused on compensatory growth in fish (Wieser et al, 1992;Tian & Qin, 2003;Turano et al, 2008;Wang et al, 2009). Ituassú et al (2004) subjected tambaqui to different periods of deprivation and found that after a restriction of up to 14 days the species showed total compensatory growth and higher body protein deposition when feed was restored.…”

-The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of feed deprivation and refeeding with diets containing different energy to protein ratios (E/P) on the performance and physiology of juvenile tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum). A 4x2 factorial arrangement with three replicates was used, with four E/P ratios (11.5, 10.5, 9.5, and 8.5 kcal g -1 digestible energy per protein) and two feeding regimens (with and without deprivation), during 60 days. Fish from the food-deprived group were fasted for 14 days and refed from the fifteenth to the sixtieth day, whereas the remaining fish were fed for 60 days. At the end of the experimental period, weight of fish subjected to food deprivation was lower than that of those continuously fed; however, this condition did not influence the physiological parameters analyzed. Tambaqui fed 11.5 kcal g -1 achieved lower final weight than those fed with the other diets, in both regimens. Among the physiological parameters, only plasma protein presented significant increase in fish fed 8.5 kcal g -1 , in both feeding regimens, probably due to the higher dietary protein concentration. These results indicate that fish show a partial compensatory growth, and that 10.5 kcal g -1 can be recommended for the diet of juvenile tambaqui.Index terms: Colossoma macropomum, blood parameters, energy/protein requirement, food restriction. Estratégias alimentares e relação entre energia e proteína sobre o desempenho e a fisiologia de tambaquiResumo -O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da privação alimentar e da realimentação com dietas contendo diferentes relações entre energia e proteína (E/P) sobre o desempenho e a fisiologia de juvenis de tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum). Utilizou-se arranjo fatorial 4x2 com três repetições, com quatro relações E/P (11,5, 10,5, 9,5 e 8,5 kcal g -1 de energia digestível por proteína) e dois regimes alimentares (com e sem privação), durante 60 dias. Peixes do grupo com privação alimentar permaneceram em jejum por 14 dias e foram realimentados do décimo quinto ao sexagésimo dia, enquanto os demais foram alimentados por 60 dias. Ao final do período experimental, o peso dos peixes submetidos à privação alimentar foi menor do que o dos alimentados continuamente; entretanto, esta condição não influenciou os parâmetros fisiológicos avaliados. Tambaquis alimentados com 11,5 kcal g -1 obtiveram menor peso que os alimentados com as demais dietas, em ambos os regimes. Entre os parâmetros fisiológicos, apenas a proteína plasmática apresentou aumento significativo nos peixes alimentados com 8,5 kcal g -1 , em ambos os regimes alimentares, provavelmente em razão da maior concentração de proteína na dieta. Esses resultados mostram que os peixes apresentam crescimento compensatório parcial em todos os tratamentos, e que 10,5 kcal g -1 pode ser recomendada para a dieta de juvenis de tambaqui.Termos para indexação: Colossoma macropomum, parâmetros sanguíneos, exigência energia/proteína, restrição alimentar.
