Comparison of compensatory growth responses of juvenile three‐spined stickleback and minnow following similar food deprivation protocols
The compensatory growth responses of individual juveniles of two co‐ existing species were compared after identical periods of starvation to determine inter‐specific similarities and differences. The carnivorous stickleback Gasterosteus aculeatus was compared with the omnivorous minnow Phoxinus phox...

The compensatory growth responses of individual juveniles of two co‐ existing species were compared after identical periods of starvation to determine inter‐specific similarities and differences. The carnivorous stickleback Gasterosteus aculeatus was compared with the omnivorous minnow Phoxinus phoxinus. Both species experienced 1 or 2 weeks of starvation before being re‐fed ad libitum. The two species differed in their response to the starvation periods, with minnows showing a lower weight‐specific loss. Both species showed compensatory responses in appetite, growth and to a lesser extent, growth efficiency. Minnows wholly compensated for 1 and 2 weeks of starvation. At the end of the experiment, sticklebacks starved for 2 weeks were still showing a compensatory response and had not achieved full compensation.
