Objetivou-se avaliar os efeitos da temperatura no desempenho e na atividade de lipase de tilápias do Nilo, linhagem Tailandesa. O delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado, com quatro tratamentos (20, 24, 28 e 32ºC), seis repetições e 10 peixes por unidade experimental (aquário). Utilizou-se a mesma dieta para todos os tratamentos. Aos 55 dias do experimento foi avaliado o consumo de ração aparente, o ganho de peso, a conversão alimentar aparente, a atividade de lipase e a atividade específica de lipase. O consumo de ração aparente e o ganho de peso aumentaram linearmente (p
The objective of the study was to evaluate the growth of piau (Leporinus friderici) juveniles fed with diet supplemented with different levels of Schizochytrium sp. One hundred and forty juveniles of L. friderici were stocked in 20 aquariums (35 L) at the density of 0.2 fish L −1 , weighing and measuring 11.80±1.08 g and 9.68±0.31 cm, respectively. The feeds were prepared and supplemented with 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 g of Schizochytrium sp. kg −1 of diet. On the 60 th day, all juveniles were collected for measurement of the following parameters: Feed intake (g day −1), weight (g), weight gain (g), food conversion, total length (cm), Specific Growth Rate (SGR) and Fulton's condition factor (K). Also, the whole-body composition was analyzed for dry matter, mineral matter, crude protein, lipids, calcium and phosphorus. A linear effect (p<0.05) was observed for weight gain, weight, biomass, feed intake, SGR and K when Schizochytrium sp. was included in the feed. The levels of crude protein, calcium and phosphorus in juveniles had a linear decreasing effect (p<0.05) with the increase of Schizochytrium sp. in the feeds. In brief, our results showed that L. friderici juveniles fed with artificial diets supplemented with Schizochytrium sp. had a better growth, with a significant influence on their body chemical profile.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
