Behaviour represents a reaction to the environment as fish perceive it and is therefore a key
element of fish welfare. This review summarises the main findings on how behavioural …

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 …

Among the fishes, a remarkably wide range of biological adaptations to diverse habitats has
evolved. As well as living in the conventional habitats of lakes, ponds, rivers, rock pools and …

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 …

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 …

Latitudinal populations of the Atlantic silverside, Menidia menidia, show substantial genetic
variation in rates of energy acquistion and allocation. Reared in common environments …

The influence of two water temperatures (16 and 22° C) on growth, feed conversion, body
composition and nutrient retention was investigated in juvenile turbot fed to satiation (0.9 …

Mass‐specific standard metabolic rate (SMR, or maintenance metabolism) varies greatly
among individuals. Metabolism is particularly sensitive to variation in food consumption and …

A feeding trial was conducted to evaluate influences of dietary protein and energy
modifications as well as indispensable amino acid supplementation on channel catfish …

The effect of feed cycling on compensatory growth was examined in juvenile rainbow trout,
Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum), held individually at 15° C. Fish were fasted for 2, 4, 8, or …
