Effect of aromatase inhibitors on the ovarian development of stunted yearlings of rohu (Labeo rohita): a preliminary study

Assessment of compensatory growth in stunted fingerlings of Snubnose pompano, Trachinotus blochii (Lacepede, 1801), in marine conditions

“…Even though the fish fetches better price in the market, the culture duration to attain marketable size needs to be reduced to improve economic benefits in the farming facilities such as ponds, cages and recirculating aquaculture systems. One proven approach to reduce the culture duration is to use stunted fingerlings as the stocking material, which is widely being practised in many farming systems (Bavcevic et al., 2010; Charan et al., 2014; Radheshyam & Saha, 2009; Santiago, Gonzal, Aralar, & Arcilla, 2004; Tian & Qin, 2003).…”

“…The concept of stunting can be applied in farming practices for economic benefits such as prolonged seed availability, elimination of unhealthy seed and reducing the feed costs (Charan et al., 2014; Radheysham & Saha, 2009). Hence, optimization of the protocol is imperative for its success and based on the results of the present study, 90 days stunting is recommended for field level adoption.…”

“…Many of the commercially important marine finfishes such as European seabass (Adakli & Tasbozan, 2015), Gilthead sea bream (Bavcevic, Klanjscek, Karamarko, Anicic, & Legovic, 2010), Atlantic halibut (Foss et al., 2009), Atlantic cod (Jobling, Meloey, Santos, & Christiansen, 1994) and Alaska yellowfin sole (Paul, Paul, & Smith, 1995) have exhibited compensatory growth after stunting. Hyperphagia in stunted fish has been successfully applied for growth enhancement (Charan, Suresh Babu, Venugopal, Chadha, & Sreeramamurthy, 2014; Limbue & Jumanne, 2014), better feed utilization (Morshedi, Kochanian, Ahmadi‐Niko, Azodi, & Pasha‐Zanoosi, 2013; Ruan et al., 2015) and also to tide over unfavourable environmental conditions (Cho & Cho, 2009).…”

Impact of duration of stunting on compensatory growth and biometrics of snubnose pompano, Trachinotus blochii (Lacepede,1801) in low saline conditions

“…In the case of carps, stunting is done to remove weak and sick fry so as to produce healthy larger fish seed, as a stocking material for grow-out culture (Radheysham and Saha, 2009). Indian major carps are stunted mainly for enhancing the somatic growth and to reduce the culture duration (Charan et al 2014). In the present study, we aimed to develop a strategy Previous reports suggests that same species may yield different degree of CG according to the stunting period.…”
