Description An understanding of biotic and abiotic factors which affect the
metabolic rate, growth and survival of fishes can be applied to the practices
of fishery management and this can also be used as a means of assessing
the responses of the fishes to environmental conditions. In culture practices
there is a possibility of reducing the energy costs to a minimum and achieving
food conversion to an optimum level. This can be carried out through an
understanding of environmental and biological factors which affect the metabolic
rate, with a view to reduce the demands on the system thereby increasing
the rate of production. The rate of metabolism is directly or
indirectly influenced by biotic (activity, weight, sex, age, oxygen debt,
condition, starvation and diet) and abiotic factors (temperature, salinity,
oxygen, carbondioxide, ammonia, pH, photoperiod, season and pressure) and
among them ambient oxygen, temperature and activity exert the greatest
influence on metabolism.
