I can answer this based on my recent experiences. I frequently leave my fish 
unfed for a week at a time 4 or 5 times a year while I go away "on vacation". 
The water is changed automatically but the fish are not fed. When I return I 
usually search for eggs in some of the species tanks in which I have a special 
interest. I usually find no or nearly no eggs the first few days. Then after 
regular daily feeding, the egg production picks up. It takes a week or more 
before it gets back to what I was getting before the absence. I suppose if I were 
gone longer it might take longer to recover.
