“…We observed that it was possible to substitute the diets with SBM since increasing values of growth rate were attained by red snapper which were greater than those reported in Lutjanidae genus such as spotted rose snapper (CastilloVargasmachuca, Ponce-Palafox, Chávez-Ortiz, & Arredondo-Figueroa, 2007), and mutton snapper L. analis (Benetti et al, 2002). In this study, we report that the supplementation of taurine in diets substituted with SBM in proportions of 40% or 60% (the content of SBM in diet was 398.3 or 587.5 g kg -1 ) significantly improved growth performance and feed efficiency in red snapper compared to diets that lacked taurine but contained the same proportions of SBM.…”

This study evaluated the effect of soybean meal (SBM) diets supplemented with taurine (T) on growth performance and body composition of red snapper (Lutjanus colorado). Six isonitrogenous (50%) and isoenergetic (20 MJ/kg) diets were formulated with 20%, 40% and 60% proportions of SBM substitution of total fish meal. Three diets of fish meal protein were replaced by soybean protein which were supplemented with 0.6, 1.2 and 1.8% of taurine (SBM20+T, SBM40+T and SBM60+T), respectively, or without taurine supplementation (SBM20, SBM40 and SBM60). Each diet was fed to triplicate groups of 20 juvenile snapper (average initial weight 3.1± 0.41g) to apparent satiation three times a day for an 8-week period.The fish fed the SBM40+T diet with a total taurine concentration of 16.3 g kg -1 diet had a significantly greater final weight, specific growth rate, and a lower feed conversion ratio than fish fed the other diets. There were significant differences in feed intake and whole-body composition between fish fed different dietary treatments. Survival was not affected by the experimental diets. Considering growth, feed intake and body composition of red snapper, soybean meal could partially replace fish meal by up to 40% and supplemented with taurine in practical feeds.

“…The resulting paste is weighed and stored at -25°C until used to fed the fish as reported by Gutiérrez-Vargas and Durán-Delgado (1999). These authors report feeding spotted rose snapper 10-15% of fish body weight twice a day obtaining an individual weight gain of 476.9 g in 285 days in fish with an initial weight of 48.5 g. In another on-growing study with spotted rose snapper in floating net cages, a shrimp dry feed was manually fed twice a day at 0800 and 1600 hours at a level of 1.5% fish body weight during 153 days (Castillo-Vargasmachuca et al 2007). Protein and lipid content of the diet was 35 and 7%, respectively, in the initial 90 days, and 25% protein and 7% lipid in the last 60 days of the study.…”

“…Therefore, on-growing of the species in floating net cages has been carried out with a combination of fresh fish, squid and shrimp (Gutiérrez-Vargas and Durán-Delgado 1999) and with commercially available tilapia or shrimp feeds (Castillo-Vargasmachuca et al 2007). Those feeds have lower protein content and smaller particle size than the requirement for optimal growth in L. guttatus above 100 g of weight.…”

The spotted rose snapper (Lutjanus guttatus) and bullseye puffer (Sphoeroides annulatus) are fish species from the tropical Eastern Pacific for which controlled production of larvae and juveniles has been accomplished in recent years. Diverse topics relating to their biology and aquaculture production are currently under study, in particular the nutrition and feeding aspects required to formulate practical feeds and rearing protocols. Improvements in larval growth and survival are possible by feeding live food organisms with natural or enhanced essential fatty acids content and highly digestible artificial microdiets. The ontogeny of the digestive tract and the expression and activity of digestive enzymes have been described for S. annulatus larvae. The effect of various protein and lipid levels on growth and feed utilization has been studied in juvenile and on-growing fish. Both species have carnivorous feeding habits and require high levels of protein in their diets, from 40% to 45% (dry weight) in spotted rose snapper and above 50% in bullseye puffer, with the younger stages requiring the highest protein levels. Encouraging results have been obtained in feeding experiments with different sources of dietary protein from animal and plant origin to evaluate their suitability as feed ingredients in practical diets. Optimization of fish culture practices through feeding management has also been investigated. Trials with various fish densities and feeding frequencies in intensive culture systems are providing information to improve feed utilization and growth in on-growing fish. Further research is underway to evaluate factors in broodstock nutrition which have an impact on egg and larval quality, and into the use of various commercially available oil sources in on-growing diets. In this paper, the results on nutrition and feeding research with both species are reviewed and research needs to support their commercial production in the region are discussed.

“…The spotted rose snapper ( Lutjanus guttatus Steindachner, 1869) appears to be the most suitable snapper for farming in floating cages because it accepts artificial food (pellet), it is easy to manipulate, it tolerates captivity and its growth from hatchery to market size is completed within 8 months (Castillo‐Vargasmachuca et al . ; Ibarra‐Castro & Duncan ; Boza‐Abarca et al . ; Silva‐Carrillo et al .…”

The main purpose of this study was to review the growth models used in fish culture and demonstrate the benefit of using the most appropriate growth model for aquaculture studies. For this reason, another part of this study was to use a dataset from spotted rose snapper (Lutjanus guttatus Steindachner, 1869) cultured in floating cages to determine what growth models were applicable to this species. A total of 558 weight‐at‐age data points from a commercial farm located near Nayarit, Mexico were used. The fish were cultured for 270 days in three cages of 125 m3 capacity. The initial density was 25 fish m−3, with an average weight of 2.07 ± 0.52 g. Four asymptotic models (von Bertalanffy growth model, a logistic model, the Gompertz growth model and the Ratkowsky modified model), three nonasymptotic models (exponential, power extended and persistence models) and three versions of the generalized Schnute model were selected as candidate models. The best model was selected based on the Akaike information criterion. The maximum log‐likelihood algorithm was used to parameterize the models considering a multiplicative error structure. The survival was 90%, and the average final weight was 429.84 ± 31.53 g. We concluded that the best model for describing the growth of spotted rose snapper farmed in marine floating cages was the Schnute model.
