| Abstract |
The combined effects of photoperiod treatment and swimming speed (exercise) on growth, energy deposition (liver size), gonadal development, and proportion of spawning fish at an age of two years, were studied in Atlantic cod. Exercising cod at 0.5 or 1 body lengths per sec had only minor effects on growth, and did not influence gonadosomatic indices nor the proportion of maturation of 2 year old cod. On the other hand, continuous light improved growth and delayed gonadal development; no maturation was seen at an age of two years |
