The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus) raised in cages and fed diets containing levels of crude protein (CP) and digestible energy (DE). It was used 3.960 fish with an average initial weight of 293.38 ± 5.67 g, distributed in 18 net-ponds with 5 m3, with 220 fish per experimental unit (44 fish/m3) in a 3 × 2 factorial scheme composed of three levels of crude protein (25, 30 and 35%) and two […]

Six acclimatized incubators were initially installed in the Experimental Frog Farm of the Federal University of Viçosa and later in Experimental Frog Farm of the Federal University of Rio Grande, with the objective of accomplishing experiments to evaluate the effects of the environment on frogs performance in cages of fiber glass. Environments with temperatures of 25ºC and photoperiod of 12/12 hours of light/hours of darkness (h L/D) were available to frogs adaptation during 15 days before each experiment. The treatments […]
