“…H1 fishes showed an increase in the body fat content compared to H2 fishes, which indicates a higher ability to precipitate fat into the body. Amancio et al (2019) declared that consuming higher amount of feed, caused higher deposition of fat in fish body, due to higher intake of digestible energy. The results of the current study showed that fishes of both groups did not significantly differ in the body content of protein.…”

Laboratory experiments were conducted to compare the growth performance and feed efficiency of two groups, old (H1) and new (H2) of common carp Cyprinus carpio L. (97.37+0.33 g). Fishes of the H1 introduced to Iraq in 1982 and then their reproduction and farming began on a large scale, while fishes of the H2 was introduced to Iraq in 2009 by Inmaa Agricultural Enterprises Organization. H2 group indicated significantly (p<0.05) better performance in several studied parameters which included specific growth rate (SGR), feed conversion ratio (FCR), protein efficiency ratio (PER), protein productive value (PPV), total apparent digestibility and apparent digestibility of protein and carbohydrates. This group also recorded significant (p<0.05) lower feed satiation level and fat deposited in the body compared to the old group (H1). Results of the current experiment concluded that there is a clear higher efficiency of the group H2 in most studied growth and feed efficiency parameters, which indicates the possibility of obtaining higher productivity and better economic profits when used in farming activities.

“…Six isoproteic and isoenergetic diets were formulated according to the nutritional requirements for tambaqui (De Lima Amancio et al, 2019; Lima et al, 2016) with six graded levels (0%, 6%, 12%, 18%, 24%, 30%) of DBSFL meal (Table 2). All the ingredients were ground (0.5 mm) in a hammer mill (Vieira®).…”

Black soldier fly (BSF, Hermetia illucens) meal is a prominent ingredient to keep up with the increasing demand of protein sources for aquafeeds. This study evaluated the digestibility of defatted BSF larvae meal (DBSFL) by indirect method, growth performance, haematological parameters, and carcass composition of tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) fed diets containing DBSFL. The apparent digestibility coefficient of protein from DBSFL was 84.2%, corresponding to 42.9% of digestible protein. For the feeding trial, juvenile tambaqui (3.25 ± 0.01 g) were randomly distributed in 18 experimental units (100 L; n = 3; 27 fish/tank) in a recirculation system. Fish were fed to apparent satiation for 60 days with isoproteic and isocaloric diets containing 0%, 6%, 12%, 18%, 24% or 30% of DBSFL meal. At the end of feeding trial, fish length and weight were recorded; blood samples were drawn from caudal vein of three fish per tank, and three fish from each replicate were euthanized for analysis of carcass proximate composition. The inclusion of up to 30% DBSFL meal did not impair tambaqui growth performance and fish body composition. The blood cholesterol level of the fish fed diet with 30% DBSFL inclusion was higher, but within the limits recorded for that species. DBSFL meal seems to be an interesting and safe protein source for tambaqui farming. The use of this ingredient as protein source can encourage the circular economy by promoting environmental sustainability.

“…Vieira et al 266 reported highest growth performance under farm conditions for juvenile tambaqui (2.05~9.06 g) fed diets containing 32% CP. A recent study reported higher growth performance and reduced excretion of nitrogen metabolites for juvenile tambaqui (2~20 g) fed diets containing 30% CP, 267 and maximized growth rate for juvenile tambaqui (6.5~74.6 g) fed diets containing 29% digestible protein 268 …”

Within the rich diversity of South American freshwater fish, Colossoma macropomum (Characiformes: Serrasalmidae), known as tambaqui, cachama or blackfin pacu, can reach 30 kg, is a traditional product in regional fish markets and has drawn the attention of fish farmers since the 1930s. Considerable progress achieved in different fields of aquaculture science has contributed to the growth of tambaqui production.
