Growth rate and survival level will be low. In case of catfish, they are still better than those.

Momir Paunović

Yes, if food is available.

J. Pal

Paunovic can you suggest some related paper in evidence of the positive answer.

growth rate is higher

Stressed fish generally grow more slowly than non-stressed fish. Stress elevates cortisol which has a direct suppressive effect on growth. Also, energy that would otherwise be directed to somatic growth is used to combat the effects of stressors. I've attached an old article of ours with some useful citations.
