    abstract = {In this study, the effects of different food deprivation and re-feeding has been examined on growth,
nutrition, body composition and composition of liver. The groups consisted of the constant control over the
experimental period until full feeding was twice daily, groups of 2-8 days of food deprivation followed
by 8-32 days of re-feeding in repeated cycles during 80 days. At the end of expriment, the daily food intake,
ash and moisture content of the body composition were significantly affected by alternating periods of food
deprivation and re-feeding (p<0.05). But alternating periods of food deprivation and re-feeding are not effective
on weight gain, specific growth rate, condition factor, feed conversion efficiency, protein efficiency ratio, lipid
and protein content of body omposition and content of the liver glycogen and lipid (p>0.05). After the feeding
period, roups that have experienced food deprivation showed complete compensatory growth. Because growth
in these groups showed no significant difference compared with the control group. The study establish that,
sobaity fish have ability to achive optimal growth after food deprivation and re-feeding periods}
