Abstract: | Growth is arrested in male and female Sparus aurata during gonadal recrudescence and spawning. Growth and feeding rates of fish exposed to a constant long photoperiod () were significantly higher than those of fish under a natural photoperiod. When the experimental photoperiod was shortened, fish underwent gonadal recrudescence and reduced feeding, and their growth was arrested. Fish under the long photoperiod regime reached the commercial weight of 350 g six months earlier than the controls. |
