Rowly and JoeG - he is not talking about our northern yellow perch. It is some sort of sunfish.

Stuntd fish will start growing again when food becomes abundant, however they can not make up the time and growth that was lost during the period of stunting. Those that were not stunted will always be larger fish when both are the same age.
