The article describes the process of tench growing (male and female species removed from set gear in the Volga river in the Astrakhan region) using experimental feedstuff "T", taking into account the fact that problems with artificial growing tench ( Тinca tinca ) appear first in the process of feeding when wild sires change to artificial food. The research took place on the base of the department of aquaculture and water bioresources of Astrakhan State Technical University in innovation centre "Bioaquapark - scientific and technical centre of aquaculture" in 2015. Special feed including components of animal origin - mosquito grab and sludge worm as an effective substitute to fish flour, as well as components of vegetable origin (carrot, parsley, pumpkin, wheatgrass) for domestication of tenches are offered for the first time. Food technology has been described. The exact composition of the formula, which is being licensed at the moment, is not disclosed. Feed "T", which has undergone biological analysis and is in accordance with organoleptic and physical standards was used for feeding tench female and male species during domestication period (60 days), along with food "Coppens" (Holland). Feed efficiency was determined according to survival and daily fish growth. Growth rate of females appeared more intensive than growth rate of males fed with experimental food "T". Daily growth changed depending on the types of food: from 0.3 ("Coppens") to 0.47 (experimental food) in females, from 0.25 ("Coppens") to 0.39 (experimental food) with males. Ability to survive among tench species fed with "Coppens" and experimental food made 60% and 100%, correspondingly. Nutricion of tench species with experimental food encouraged their domestication, which allowed using tench species in further fish breeding process in order to get offspring. The project was supported by the Innovation Promotion Fund in terms of the project "Development and implementation of the technique for the steady development of aquaculture: food "TechSA".

Tanaman wori merupakan salah satu tanaman kelompok fabaceace yang tumbuh melimpah di Sangihe dan sangat potensial digunakan sebagai salah satu sumber pakan ikan. Kadar protein daun wori adalah 25,53% sehingga berpotensi menjadi protein nabati bagi ikan. Kendala utama yang ditemui ketika memanfaatkan daun tanaman wori adalah kandungan karbohidrat yang tinggi yaitu 48,51% sehingga dapat mempengaruhi proses pencernaan ikan, penyerapan nutrisi yang berujung pada rendahnya pertumbuhan ikan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh tepung daun wori femerntasi terhadap laju pertumbuhan spesifik dan sintasan hidup ikan nila. Rancangan percobaan yang digunakan adalah Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL). Perlakuan yang dilakukan terdiri dari tiga perlakuan dan tiga kali ulangan yaitu kadar tepung daun wori tanpa fermentasi A (kontrol) 10%, kemudian B tepung daun wori fermentasi (10%), dan C tepung daun wori fermentasi (20%). Laju pertumbuhan spesifik dan efisiensi pakan diuji menggunakan ANOVA sedangkan sintasan hidup akan dianalisis secara deskriptif. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa penambahan tepung wori fermenasi dalam pakan dapat meningkatkan nilai laju pertumbuhan spesfik ikan nila dan efisiensi pemanfaatan pakan dengan nilai tertinggi pada perlakuan C yaitu SGR 1,94%/hari. Sementara itu, untuk semua perlakuan nilai sintasan hidup sebesar 100%.   The wori plant is one of the plants of the fabaceace group that grows abundantly in Sangihe and has potential to be used as a source of fish feed. The protein content of wori leaves is 25.53%, so it has the potential to become vegetable protein for fish. The main obstacle encountered when utilizing wori plant leaves is the high carbohydrate content of 48.51% so that it can affect the digestion process of fish, nutrient absorption which lead to low fish growth. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of wori femerntation leaf meal on the specific growth rate and survival of tilapia. The experimental design used was a completely randomized design (CRD). The treatments consisted of three treatments and three replications, namely the content of fermented wori leaf powder, A (control) 10%, then B fermented wori leaf powder (10%), and C fermented wori leaf powder (20%). Specific growth rate and feed efficiency were tested using ANOVA, while survival rate was analyzed descriptively. The results of this study indicate that the addition of fermented wori powder in the feed can increase the value of the specific growth rate of tilapia and feed utilization efficiency with the highest value in treatment C, namely SGR 1.94% / day. Meanwhile, for all treatments the survival rate was 100%.

Growing degree-days (GDD, °C·days) are an index of ambient thermal energy that relates directly to an ectotherm’s cumulative metabolism but is rarely used to describe growth and development in fish. We applied GDD to length and maturity data from 416 populations of walleye ( Sander vitreus ) from Ontario and Quebec, Canada (mean annual GDD = 1200 to 2300 °C·days). On average, males matured after they had experienced 6900 °C·days and reached 350 mm total length (L) (n = 77 populations), and females matured after 10 000 °C·days and at 450 mm L (n = 70). Across 143 populations, GDD accounted for up to 96% of the variation in the length of immature walleye but also revealed a twofold difference in growth rate that was indicative of variation in food availability. When applied to data from eight populations in which walleye abundances have changed dramatically over time, GDD revealed a 1.3-fold increase in immature growth rate when abundance was low compared with when it was high. Our results both demonstrate the explanatory power of GDD with respect to fish growth and maturity and inform the development of regional management strategies for walleye.

The model of von Bertalanffy has been and is still widely used to model fish growth, mainly because of its good description of annual growth over the whole life span. However, it does not take into account a seasonal variability in growth rate, an important phenomenon that appears quite well correlated with water temperature fluctuations in temperate climates. In the present study, we demonstrated that it was possible to model such variations by including daily water temperature in the von Bertalanffy growth formula owing to the correlation between the growth coefficient k and water temperature. The model we chose to describe such a correlation includes parameters with obvious biological significance and is mathematically well structured, which allowed an extensive use of our growth model. Hence, we use our new model to describe annual variability in the growth of European grayling (Thymallus thymallus L.) in a river section where water temperature could rise up to the thermal tolerance limit for this species, inducing reduced growth rates and severe mortality events. Finally, we were able to explain the growth rate variability from one year to the next by interannual water temperature fluctuations.

Effects of different prey taxa and daily ration levels on fish growth and the relationship between fish growth rate and mean otolith increment width were investigated for juvenile chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) in saltwater aquaria. Growth was positively correlated with ration, and food conversion efficiency was much higher for fish fed the harpacticoid copepod, Tigriopus californicus, than either the calanoid copepod, Pseudocalanus minutas, or the gammarid amphipod, Paramoera mohri. Otolith increments were produced daily for at least the first 160 d after hatching and there was a direct relationship between mean daily otolith increment width and fish growth rate. These results illustrate the possibility that otolith microstructure recapitulates juvenile chum growth histories during estuarine residence.

A forest stream was treated with permethrin to determine the response of brook trout to a reduction in the aquatic food resource following an insecticide treatment. The treatment resulted in massive invertebrate drift and significant reductions of benthos, but did not produce trout mortality or evidence of unusual behaviour. The density, population age structure, movement patterns, and condition of brook trout were not measurably affected by the permethrin treatment. The growth rates of 0 + and 1 + age-classes were significantly lower following the insecticide application than those of trout from the same age-classes of pretreatment years. This reduction in growth rate resulted in significantly smaller trout after treatment. A significant reduction in the growth of trout collected during the same period from a nearby untreated control stream indicated that unusually high summer temperatures were at least partially, if not entirely, responsible for the reduced growth rate of treated fish. Growth rates returned to or exceeded pretreatment levels by the overwinter period of the treatment year.

Changing in photoperiod duration may affects the physiology of nocturnal fish such as Pangasianodon hypophthalmus. A study aims to understand the effects of controlled photoperiod towards survival and growth of P. hypophthalmus has been conducted from June to August 2020. There were 3 treatments applied, namely natural photoperiod, 18 hours dark (18D), and 24 hours dark (24D) with 3 replications in each treatment. The rearing tanks used in this study were 100 L circular plastic tanks.  In 24D treatment, the tanks were placed under dark colored tarp tent continuously.  For the 18D treatment, the tanks were placed under dark tarp tent, but the tent was opened for 6 hours/ day (the tanks were in dark condition for 18 hours/ day), while the control tanks were positioned under natural photoperiod. P. hypophthalmus fingerlings, 6-8 cm TL and   4-5 g BW were used in this study. Thirty fishes were reared in each rearing tank, they were feed with commercial pellets, 2 times/day, at satiation. Fish survival was monitored every day, while samplings for fish growth were conducted weekly for a 8 weeks period. Results indicate that the survival of   fish was 100% in each treatment applied. Fish growth, however, shown differences. The growth of fish reared in 24D and 18D was better than that of the control. By the 9th week,  the fish in 24D was around 70.71g BW with 19.27 cm TL  (daily growth rate 9.35%), while those of the 18D was 69.41 g BW, 18.77 cm TL and 9.29% daily growth rate. The fish reared under natural photoperiod was around 61.95 g BW with 18.19 cm TL and 7.33% of daily growth rate. Data obtained indicate that the application of longer dark is positively improve the growth of P. hypophthalmus.Keywords:Nocturnal FishLight Dark Catfish
