Could the growth of Litopenaeus vannamei be compensated by long-term cyclic feed deprivation and following refeeding?

The effects of long-term cyclic feed deprivation and refeeding on compensatory growth and body composition of Litopenaeus vannamei were assessed for five different feeding protocols (i.e., 0, 1, 2, 4, 7 days fasting/days feeding) during 15 study weeks. Shrimp in each tank were weighed to calculate g...

Description
Summary:The effects of long-term cyclic feed deprivation and refeeding on compensatory growth and body composition of Litopenaeus vannamei were assessed for five different feeding protocols (i.e., 0, 1, 2, 4, 7 days fasting/days feeding) during 15 study weeks. Shrimp in each tank were weighed to calculate growth parameters. The control group has shown the highest specific growth rate (SGR) and the highest final weight compared to the cycling-feeding groups during the first 8 weeks (P
