{"title":"Does Size Grading Improve Fish Farming? Evidence From a Meta‐Analysis","authors":"Chenchen Wu, Ze Zhu, Yanci Wen, Songming Zhu, Ying Liu, Kai Liu, Yi‐Jia Shih, Zhangying Ye, Xingguo Liu, Jian Zhao","doi":"10.1111/raq.70162","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/raq.70162","url":null,"abstract":"Size grading, sorting a cohort into more homogeneous size classes, is widely used in aquaculture and presumed to enhance production efficiency. However, reported effects on fish growth are inconsistent. To address this uncertainty, we conducted a comprehensive meta‐analysis spanning 32 species to systematically evaluate the effect of size grading on fish growth and to identify key moderators of this effect. Overall, size grading reduced the average specific growth rate (SGR) by 4.50%. Species personality type (aggressive vs. docile) was the most important among the moderators tested: grading significantly reduced average SGR in docile species but had no effect in aggressive ones; and in both aggressive and docile species, the effect of grading depended positively on the initial variation coefficient (IVC). We emphasized that aggressive behaviour is closely associated with the effects above and pointed out the role of IVC between frequency of aggressive behaviour (FAB) and daily food intake (DFI) in aggressive species. We also found size grading had opposing effects on changes in size heterogeneity, which is beneficial for aggressive but not docile species. Besides, while size grading significantly reduced cannibalism rate (CR) in both personality types, it was at the cost of overall SGR. Therefore, size grading may not be advisable for docile species due to growth suppression. For aggressive species, size grading generally reduces overall production, but it is recommended from an individual quality standpoint, provided a moderate size heterogeneity is maintained.","PeriodicalId":227,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Aquaculture","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148290268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This review elaborates on biocontrol in aquaculture, particularly in shrimp culture. Biocontrol in shrimp culture mainly relies on four strategies: (i) direct kill pathogen by <jats:italic>Bdellovibrio</jats:italic> or bacteriophages; (ii) suppression of intestinal pathogens with probiotics; (iii) reduction of environmental pathogens via probiotics, biofloc, or bivalves and fish; and (iv) blocking transmission of pathogens using predatory fish. “Shrimp‐fish polyculture” system for diseased biocontrol, which is convenient, effective, and affordable, focuses on blocking disease transmission routes. The efficacy of this strategy has been firmly established for white spot syndrome virus (WSSV). However, its application to other shrimp diseases is not widespread.

Despite decades of research, key regulatory mechanisms governing its reproduction remain unresolved. This review first establishes the biological and ecological foundations of the Japanese eel reproduction, then examines major biological and technical barriers to successful captive breeding, followed by an integration of current knowledge on neuroendocrine control, pathways of sex differentiation, and the physiological and molecular bases of artificial maturation. Emphasis is placed on both established mechanisms and emerging hypotheses, with particular attention to their implications for aquaculture. By identifying critical knowledge gaps, we highlight priorities for future research essential to both species conservation and the development of sustainable breeding technologies. These insights provide a foundation for optimizing hormonal induction protocols, improving larval performance, and refining nutritional management across life stages, particularly for broodstock conditioning and early larval development, thereby enabling more reliable and scalable closed‐cycle aquaculture for Japanese eel.","PeriodicalId":227,"journal":{"name":"Reviews in Aquaculture","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148290290","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
