All animals face the possibility of limitations in food resources that could ultimately lead to
starvation-induced mortality. The primary goal of this review is to characterize the various …

Individual variability in body size provides a template for selective mortality processes during
early life history stages of teleost fishes. This size variability has generated the logically …

Compensatory growth (CG) is a phase of accelerated growth when favourable conditions
are restored after a period of growth depression. CG reduces variance in size by causing …

Improving feed efficiency (FE) is key to reducing production costs in aquaculture and to
achieving sustainability for the aquaculture industry. Feed costs account for 30–70% of total …

This study examines behavioral and physiological responses of juvenile Atlantic salmon
(Salmo salar) adopting alternative life history patterns following a period of reduced growth …

Hybrid tilapia weighing 4.34±0.03 g (mean±SE) were reared in seawater at 23.8 to 27.0° C
for 8 weeks. The control group was fed to satiation twice a day throughout the experiment …

Compensatory growth (CG) is a period of accelerated growth that occurs following the
alleviation of growth-stunting conditions during which an organism can make up for lost …

Compensatory or catch-up growth (CG) is widely observed following periods of resource
deprivation. Because of this commonness, it is generally assumed that compensatory growth …

Information about fish age, development and growth is a cornerstone in fishery research and
management. Development describes the sequencing of life-history stages and growth is a …

Feed restriction in fish and crustaceans is gaining interest due to its unusual acceleration of
growth after a feed deprivation period. This phenomenon, known as compensatory growth …
