    <abstract language="eng">In the feeding study of O. longirostris Menezes & Gèry, 1983, 211 stomachs from fish caught between March 1993 and February 1994 were analysed. Diet composition was analysed by the index of relative importance which deals with the numerical and gravimetric occurrence frequency. Results indicated that the species is piscivorous and its preferential food consisted oíAslyanax sp. 2. It was also found that Astyanax sp. 3 became an important food item, depending on the site of capture and its availability. Availability of prey seems to have a strong influence on the diet of O. longirostris. This same tendency has been observed during the different seasons of the year. Ontogenetic changes have also been found in the basic diet

    Objetivando verificar a influência da substituição da proteína do farelo de soja (FS) pela proteína do farelo de canola (FC), em rações para alevinos de curimbatá, foram utilizados 120 animais com peso médio de 1,88 ± 0,82 g e comprimento total médio de 5,40 ± 0,99 cm, distribuídos em um delineamento inteiramente casualizado com seis tratamentos e quatro repetições em aquários de vidro (50 L), com cinco alevinos por unidade experimental. As rações foram formuladas para serem isoprotéicas (26,00%), isocálcicas (0,90%) e isofosfóricas (0,70%), com níveis crescentes de substituição da proteína do FS pela do FC (0,00; 20,00; 40,00; 60,00; 80,00 e 100,00%), o que correspondeu a 0,00; 8,03; 16,10; 24,10; 32,15 e 43,12% de inclusão do FC nas rações e fornecidas por um período de 30 dias. Os parâmetros físico-químicos da água foram medidos a cada sete dias. Observou-se redução linear do ganho de peso e da taxa de eficiência protéica e aumento linear da taxa de conversão alimentar, com aumento da inclusão do FC nas rações. A taxa de sobrevivência e o custo de ração/kg ganho não foram afetados com o uso do FC nas rações. Os valores da temperatura da água, do pH e da condutividade elétrica permaneceram dentro dos níveis adequados. Concluiu-se que o aumento dos níveis de inclusão da proteína do farelo de canola nas rações para alevinos de curimbatá acarretou redução no desempenho dos mesmos.<br>The influence of the substitution of soybean meal protein (SM) by canola meal protein (CM) in Prochilodus lineatus fingerling diets was verified. One hundred and twenty specimens, averaging weight 1.88±0.82g and total length 5.40±0.99cm, was assigned to a completely randomized randomized design, with six treatments and four replicates, in a 50 L glass aquarium, with five fingerlings in each experimental unit. Isoprotein (26.00%), isocalcium (0.90%) and isophosphorus (0.70%) diets were formulated with increasing replacement levels of SM protein by CM protein (0.00, 20.00, 40.00, 60.00, 80.00, and 100.00%). Values correspond respectively to 0.00, 8.03, 16.10, 24.10, 32.15 and 43.12% of CM inclusion in diets for 30 days. Physical and chemical parameters of water were measured every seven days. Through an increase in CM inclusion in diets, a linear decrease in weight gain and protein efficiency rate was reported; a linear increase in food conversion has also been recorded. There was no influence of CM inclusion in diets on survival rate and feed costs/kg gained. Water temperature, pH and electrical conductivity remained within proper limits. Increase in levels of protein inclusion of CM in diets for Prochilodus lineatus fingerlings caused a decrease in their performance
