Abstract

Application of compensatory growth pattern in finfishes for enhancing aquaculture production is an innovative method adopted by several farmers in freshwater farming systems. Stocking of stunted fishes have the primary advantages such as growth compensation, suitability for short duration farming, economic usage of feed, extended period of good quality seed availability and enhanced survival rate with better yield. An attempt has been initiated to adopt the principles of compensatory growth pattern in marine aquaculture systems and the possible interventions in these aspects is discussed. Preliminary results reveal that marine finfishes such as Snubnose pompano and Mangrove red snapper exhibits compensatory growth pattern during post- stunting rearing period in both marine and low saline conditions
