Abstract: This research assessed four levels of crude protein—200, 250, 300 and 350 g/kg—associated with two crude lipid concentrations—110 and 140 g/kg—in diets for juveniles of tambatinga (♀Colossoma macropomum × ♂Piaractus brachypomus) over 63 days. The fish (15.2 ± 0.2 g) were distributed in… read more here.
