Abstract
There are many factors that affect the growth of aquatic organism individuals, and the main exogenous factors are water temperature, salinity, light, dissolved oxygen, nutritional factors, etc. These environmental factors in natural waters mostly have certain periodic variations, such as daily changes, seasonal changes, and tidal changes. Numerous studies have showed that there is not a so-called optimal ‘value’ for the growth of some aquatic organisms, but rather an optimal amplitude of variation. Understanding such patterns can help us to innovate farming techniques that accelerate the growth of farmed organisms.
