  abstract = {{S}tocking hatchery-reared fish in natural shallow lakes is a common practice in {C}hinese fisheries. {T}he success of these fisheries depends on the balance between the commercial value of the stock and the growth performance of stocked fish to rapidly reach commercial size. {T}he mandarin fish {S}iniperca chuatsi has become a commercially important fishery in {C}hina. {H}owever, the performance of hatchery-reared mandarin fish ({HMF}) after release into natural environments and their interactions with wild mandarin fish ({WMF}) have received little attention. {I}n this study, we compared the growth, feeding and reproduction of {HMF} with {WMF} in a shallow {Y}angtze lake. {W}e found that 11 mo after release, the growth of {HMF} was significantly slower than that of {WMF} but rapidly caught up after 16-19 mo. {T}his suggests that {HMF} may experience compensatory growth after 11 mo, which may be a result of a low reproductive investment compared to {WMF}. {I}n addition, the trophic niche of {HMF} differed significantly from that of {WMF}, with a lower diversity of prey and a single dominant prey species. {F}urthermore, there was no significant diet overlap between {HMF} and {WMF}. {O}ur findings demonstrated that the growth performance of {HMF} can equal or exceed that of wild conspecifics, and that there was limited diet overlap with {WMF}, suggesting that the current stock enhancement programmes of releasing {HMF} can result in fish similar to that of {WMF}, with limited foraging competition.},
