The experiment was performed with 160 tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) with average weight 11.01±2.08 g and total length 7.8±0.18 cm. Fishes were kept in sixteen aquariums with 56 L of water at 29.1±0.4 oC of temperature, initial stocking density 1.97 g/L and constant aeration. The objective of this study was to assess the influence of photoperiod on fish performance. Treatments consisted of four photoperiods: T1 = 6 hours; T2 = 12 hours; T3 = 18 hours and T4 = 24 hours, […]

The objective of the present research was to evaluate phosphorus in diet for pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus) juveniles on water quality, livestock performance, body yield and carcass chemical composition. A total of 100 juveniles, 25.9±1.32 g average weight were randomly assigned into 20 fiberglass tanks, with five treatments and four replications. The fish were fed four times a day (8 and 11 a.m.; 2 and 5 p.m.), with extruded diets containing 0.40; 0.55; 0.70; 0.85 and 1.0 % total phosphorus. No differences […]

The aim of this study was to evaluate the requirement of crude protein (CP) and digestible energy (DE) in piavuçu fingerlings (Leporinus macrocephalus), for a period of 45 days. It was used 150 fingerlings with average weight of 0.40 ± 0.08g, distributed in 30 aquariums (30L) in a completely randomized design in a 3x 2 two-factorial scheme composed of three levels of crude protein (25, 30 and 35% of crude protein) and two levels of digestible energy (3,250 and 3,500 […]
