“…Many fish species, including both marine and freshwater react to photoperiod regime and day length affecting growth. In recent years' growth and gonadal development exposing Sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) for 40 days long photoperiod (12L:12D& 24L:0D), (Villamizar et al, 2009), Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.) for 24 weeks long photoperiod (24L:0D, 20L:4D & 18L:6D) (Rad et al, 2006), Top mouth Gudgeon (Pseudorasbora parva) short and long photoperiod (0L:24D, 4L:20D, 8L:16D, 12L:12D, 16L:8D, 20L:4D & 24L:0D) for 90days (Zhu et al, 2014). Several changes have been reported in growth, survival, reproductive patterns and levels of relevant hormones in fish species due to the effects of photoperiod regimes (Boeuf & Le Bail, 1999).…”

The objective of this research is to enhance the growth and reproductive performance in the test fish, red eyed orange molly (Poecilia sphenops) exposed to standardized manipulated photoperiod. In present study, growth and gonadal development of the test fish with an average initial weight (0.52g) and an average total length (3.2cm) exposed to two photoperiods (18L:6D and 10L:14D) at constant light intensity (1500 lx) for a period of 60 days was investigated. The fish were fed with formulated feed twice a day as per 10% of body weight. During a long day photoperiod (18L:6D) significant increase in growth parameters such as, weight gain (2.2 ± 0.04), feed conversion ratio (8.9 ± 0.004) and specific growth rate (1.2 ± 0% day -1 ) was observed. Mean gonadosomatic index (GSI) in female (30.4 ± 0.11) and male fish (2.0 ± 0.17) was also significantly higher in long-day photoperiod followed by short day photoperiod (10L:14D). The results confirm that manipulated long-day photoperiod induced somatic growth and enhanced gonadal development in P. sphenops without causing any stress.All rights reserved.

“…Photoperiod has important impacts on aquatic life (Boeuf & Bail, ). It has been used in aquaculture to improve growth (Bani, Tabarsa, Falahatkar, & Banan, ; Liu et al, ), control reproduction (Rad, Bozao, Ergene, Karahan, & Kurt, ; Zhu et al, ) and enhance fish coloration for several species (Ali & El‐Feky, ). Fish exposed to long photoperiod or prolonged light increases locomotion, feed conversion efficiency and feed intake, which may lead to improved growth depending on species (Veras et al, ).…”

“…However, the effect of photoperiod on growth performance is still confusing. Some fish have been reported to display high growth performance in long photoperiod such as Giant gourami, Trichogaster fasciata (Bano & Serajuddin, 2018), Gilthead sea bream, Sparus aurata L. (Gines, Afonso, Arguello, Zamorano, & Lopez, 2004), Red-eyed orange molly, Poecilia sphenops (Zutshi & Singh, 2017) and Topmouth gudgeon, Pseudoporasbora parva (Zhu et al, 2014). However, other fish species attain high growth rate in short photoperiods such as Juvenile lenok, Brachymystax lenok (Liu et al, 2015) and African catfish Clarias gariepinus (Mustapha, Okafor, Olaoti, & Oyelakin, 2012), while exposure to photoperiod did not affect growth performance in other species such as Juvenile halibut, Hippoglossus hippoglossus (Hallaråker, Folkvord, & Stefansson, 1995) and miiuy croaker, Miichthys miiuy (Shan, Xiao, Huang, & Dou, 2008).…”

Farming of red tilapia is increasing rapidly. However, its commercial farming development is challenged by lack of clear information on genetic basis for skin colour and pigmentation differences due to environmental changes. This study investigated the effects of photoperiod (light:dark, L:D) on the growth and skin colour variation of Malaysian red tilapia. A total of 180 fish weighing 150.48 ± 0.44 g were reared under natural photoperiod (13L:11D, control), prolonged lightness (24L:0D) and prolonged darkness (0L:24D) in three replicates for 78 days. The weight gain of fish cultured under both prolonged light and darkness were significantly higher than fish under natural photoperiod. The tyrosinase level in ventral skin was significantly higher for fish cultured under prolonged darkness condition than in the other two photoperiod regimes. Contrary, the cysteine level in the dorsal skin was significantly higher in the fish cultured under natural photoperiod than in prolonged light and darkness. The relative mRNA expressions of SRY‐related HMG‐Box 10 (sox 10), tyrosine (tyr), tyrosine‐related protein 1 (tyrp‐1) and solute carrier family 7 member 11 (slc7a11) genes were significantly higher in ventral skin of fish under prolonged darkness than the other two photoperiods. This study demonstrates that photoperiod has an impact on melanogenesis and growth of red tilapia. Understanding the effects of photoperiod on genetic basis of red tilapia will help in selective breeding programme of the important economic traits for the development of commercial red tilapia farming.

“…In China, P. parva grows quickly, with maximum length up to 11 cm; it is a batch spawner and reaches sexual maturity in the first year of its life (Zhu et al 2014). Apart from being prey to carnivorous fish, traditionally P. parva was also regarded as a delicious and nutritious food for humans (Liang et al 2010).…”

ABSTRACT. The topmouth gudgeon, Pseudorasbora parva (Temminck & Schlegel, 1842), is a small cyprinid fish that inhabits the littoral zones of freshwater habitats throughout Asia and Europe. It is regarded as an invasive species in Europe, but in its native range, in China, as food and as an environmental bio-indicator. In this study, the embryonic and larval development of P. parva was investigated for the first time. The eggs of P. parva are transparent, adhesive and elliptical. The mean size of fertilized eggs was (1.63×1.31) ± 0.04 mm. From fertilization to hatching, embryonic development could be divided into eight stages and 34 phases, and the incubation period lasted for 109.25 hours at 24 ± 1 °C. Newly hatched larvae were 4.1 ± 3 mm in length, and the yolk absorption was completed within six days after hatching. The first and second swim bladders formed at the third and ninth day, respectively. The pectoral fin formed before the hatching stage, followed by the caudal, dorsal, anal and ventral fin formation after hatching. About 20 days after hatching, the morphology of the fry was similar to the adult fish. These findings provide a basis for determining the complete ontogeny of P. parva, as well as facilitate the management and utilization of this fish.
