Abstract:Resumo -O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da privação alimentar e a ocorrência de crescimento compensatório sobre o desempenho produtivo de formas jovens do robalo-flecha (Centropomus undecimalis). O experimento teve duração de 60 dias, em que os peixes -35 indivíduos por tanque -foram divididos nos três seguintes grupos de tratamentos: com alimentação todos os dias (controle); com alimentação cinco dias por semana, seguidos de dois dias de jejum; e com alimentação quatro dias por semana, seguidos… Show more
“…Studies on CG are more common in fish (El Ghazali et al, 2009; Herrera et al, 2016; Oliveira et al, 2020) and prawns (Marques & Lombardi, 2011; Wei et al, 2008; Wu et al, 2001). In molluscs, Fermin (2002) described the occurrence of full CG in abalones ( Haliotis asinina ) after periods of feed restriction, whereas Auster and Stewart (1984) found that Argopecten irradians scallops presented CG characterized by faster growth after spawning, than slow prespawning growth.…”
This work aimed to assess the occurrence of compensatory growth in Nodipecten nodosus farmed in Caraguatatuba, Brazil, during intermediate phase at the densities of 50 (control), 800, 1600 and 3200 m −2 . Subsequently the densities were reduced to 50 m −2 for the growout phase, in which each treatment consisted of scallops originating from the same density used during the intermediate phase, with mean height equal to the average recorded in each density. The treatments were named according to the original density (T50, T800, T1600 and T3200). At the end of the intermediate phase, height, survival and specific growth rate (SGR) were significantly higher for the density of 50 m −2 . After the growout phase, height was higher in T50, but the total SGR and increase in height were lower. Survivals, adductor muscle dry weight, total dry weight and condition index did not differ significantly. In addition, during the intermediate phase, SGR was higher in scallops at 50 m −2 , but, at the beginning of the growout phase, SGR decreased in T50 scallops and increased in those of the other treatments. The results indicated the occurrence of compensatory growth in N. nodosus, which would allow increasing stocking densities in the intermediate phase.

“…The exact mechanisms for compensatory growth are still poorly understood, but hyperphagia and feed efficiency are the physiological bases of compensatory responses, occurring simultaneously or not (Hayward, Noltie, & Wang, 1997; Sevgili, Hossu, Emre, & Kanyilmaqz, 2013; Urbinati et al, 2014). When feeding is restored, animals submitted to a food deficit become hyperphagic compared to fish maintained with a continuous ad libitum food supply, reflecting in daily feed consumption (Ali et al, 2003; Gonçalves et al, 2014; Gurney, Jones, Veitch, & Nisbet, 2003; Herrera, Silva, Santos, Sousa, & Sanches, 2016). In Perca flavescens , the end of hyperphagia occurred after 2 weeks of recovery and in Lates calcarifer juveniles, up to 21 recovery days.…”
This study was carried out to evaluate the effects of feed restriction on the performance and feeding behaviour of Brycon orbignyanus. Ten‐day larvae (72.84 ± 8.61 mg) were distributed in 36 aquariums (density of 15 larvae/L) in a completely randomized design consisting of six treatments and six replicates. The treatments were determined according to the number of feed restriction days: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 days (F0, F2, F4, F6, F8 and F10, respectively), totalling 10 days. The results for final weight, weight gain and specific growth rate were significant (p < .05), and F2 and F0 presented the highest values among all experimental groups. The adopted feeding strategies did not influence final survival (p > .05), and no cannibalism behaviour was observed in any of the treatments. F2 and F0 treatments also displayed higher swimming speed (p < .05) among the assessed groups. The time spent searching for and capturing prey was significantly lower in the F0 treatment. Muscular atrophy for the F10 group was observed, and F2 animals presented no significant difference (p > .05) in muscle fibre diameter when compared to F0. Thus, dietary restrictions can be applied as a strategy for B. orbignyanus reared in intensive laboratory systems for 2 days without compromising performance, muscle growth and feeding behaviour.
