Abstract
It has been revealed that a change in water pH during free swimming of fish in the pH gradient field optimizes fish growth and their physiological state. Fish locomotor activity rises. However, despite additional activity, the fish energy budget improves, energy consumption decreases weight gain, and the efficiency of food utilization for growth increases. The changes in growth parameters and in energy caused by swimming in the pH gradient field are closely correlated. This is evidence of the systemic character of fish response to changes in the pH of water. The changes in one metabolic parameter can be used to assess other parameters. The results of this study should be considered for the improvement of juvenile fish farming techniques.
