Crude protein levels for juvenile pirarucu
Ituassú, Daniel Rabello; Pereira Filho, Manoel; Roubach, Rodrigo; Crescêncio, Roger; Cavero, Bruno Adan Sagratzki; Gandra, André LimaThe objective of this work was to verify the effect of four protein levels on pirarucu, Arapaima gigas, growth performance. One hundred and twenty pirarucu juveniles, with an average weight of 120.6±3.5 g, were stocked into 12 floating cages with 1 m3 (ten fish per cage), in a complete randomized design with four treatments (32.7%, 39.3%, 43.4% and 48.6% crude protein), in three replicates each. After 45 days, ...
Influence of feeding period on consumption and weight gain of pirarucu
Crescêncio, Roger; Ituassú, Daniel Rabello; Roubach, Rodrigo; Pereira Filho, Manoel; Cavero, Bruno Adan Sagratzki; Gandra, André LimaThe objective of this study was to verify pirarucu Arapaima gigas preferential time of feeding, and the influence of different feeding periods on consumption and weight gain of this species. Three treatments were tested: diurnal feeding (fish fed at 9h and 15h), nocturnal feeding (fish fed at 21h and 3h), and continuous feeding (fish fed at 9h, 15h, 21h and 3h). Each treatment was evaluated in triplicate, and e...
Stocking density effect on growth homogeneity of juvenile pirarucu in confined ...
Cavero, Bruno Adan Sagratzki; Pereira Filho, Manoel; Roubach, Rodrigo; Ituassú, Daniel Rabello; Gandra, André Lima; Crescêncio, RogerThe objective of this work was to evaluate the stocking density over fish growth homogeneity of pirarucu (Arapaima gigas) juveniles in small volumes cages. Twelve 1 m3 net-cages were used in a 120 m2 earth pond consisting of three treatments (15, 20 and 25 fish/m3) with four repetitions each. Fish were stocked with an initial mean weight of 10.1±0.3 g and homogeneous distributed (p>0.05) between treatments. ...
