Summary

Introduction

Connected to the light length period over a day. The intensity and increase of this ‘light time’ takes place. Photoperiod works as a Zeitgeber (cue or synchronizer), controlling regular endogenous rhythms in fish in accordance with the types of weather and seasons of the locality (Bromage et al, 2001). Photoperiod association with other synchronizers (e.g. temperature, regulates fish growth, social behaviour, metabolic rates, salinity, habitat, shelter, dissolved oxygen, pH, water locomotion, sexual maturation, survival, reproduction and level, etc.), can influence the biological rhythm (circadian body pigmentation (colouration) (Duston and Saunder, and/or annual) of animals, and thereby affecting food. Mud practice in order to acquire better growth rates, maturation, eel (Monopterus Cuchia) and Asian catfish (Clarias spawning and accelerated development of larval fish batrachus) grow well in water hyacinth
