Daily feeding and protein metabolism rhythms in Senegalese sole post-larvae
Fish hatcheries must adapt larval feeding protocols to feeding behavior and metabolism patterns to obtain more efficient feed utilization. Fish larvae exhibit daily ingesting rhythms rather than ingesting food continuously throughout the day. The aim of this study was to determine the daily patterns of feed intake, protein digestibility, protein retention and catabolism in Senegalese sole post-larvae (Solea senegalensis; 33 days post-hatching) using C-14-labeled Artemia protein and incubation in metabolic chambers. Sole post-larvae were fed at 09: 00, 15: 00, 21: 00, 03: 00 and 09: 00+1 day; and those fed at 09: 00, 21: 00, 03: 00 and 09: 00+1 day showed significantly higher feed intake than post-larvae fed at 15: 00 h (P=0.000). Digestibility and evacuation rate of ingested protein did not change during the whole cycle (P=0.114); however, post-larvae fed at 21: 00 and 03: 00 h showed the significantly highest protein retention efficiency and lowest catabolism (P=0.002). Therefore, results confirm the existence of daily rhythmicity in feeding activity and in the utilization of the ingested nutrients in Senegalese sole post-larvae.Fundacao para a Ciencia e a Tecnologia (FCT; Portugal) [CCMAR/Multi/04326/2013, 310305/FEP/71, IF/00482/2014/CP1217/CT0005]; PROMAR Program; Fundo Regional para a Ciencia e Tecnologia (FEDER); Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad (MINECO; Spain) by project EFISHDIGEST [AGL2014-52888-R]; FEDER/European Region Development Fund (ERDF); Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad (Spain) [BES-2012-051956]; European Social Fund under the Operational Programme for the Enhancement of Human Potentialinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Influência do período de alimentação no consumo e ganho de peso do pirarucu Influence of feeding period on consumption and weight gain of pirarucu
O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar o período preferencial de consumo alimentar do pirarucu, Arapaima gigas, e a influência de diferentes turnos de alimentação no consumo e ganho de peso dessa espécie. Foram testados três tratamentos: alimentação diurna (peixes alimentados às 9h e 15h), alimentação noturna (peixes alimentados às 21h e 3h) e alimentação contínua (peixes alimentados às 9h, 15h, 21h e 3h). Cada tratamento foi avaliado em triplicata, com cada unidade experimental formada por oito peixes, com peso médio de 313 g, estocados em tanques-redes de 1 m³ (1x1x1 m). Os nove tanques-redes foram alocados em um viveiro escavado de 120 m². O experimento durou 60 dias. A alimentação contínua promoveu maiores ganhos de peso e biomassa, taxa de crescimento específico e consumo total. Os tratamentos alimentação diurna e alimentação noturna apresentaram ganho de peso semelhante, porém, a alimentação diurna apresentou a melhor conversão alimentar. O período preferencial de alimentação do pirarucu foi o noturno, principalmente no começo da noite. Os dados deste estudo indicam que o horário de preferência alimentar não é o melhor horário de alimentação do pirarucu, em uma criação comercial. O período de alimentação mais indicado para a espécie, baseado na capacidade de conversão alimentar, é o diurno.<br>The objective of this study was to verify pirarucu Arapaima gigas preferential time of feeding, and the influence of different feeding periods on consumption and weight gain of this species. Three treatments were tested: diurnal feeding (fish fed at 9h and 15h), nocturnal feeding (fish fed at 21h and 3h), and continuous feeding (fish fed at 9h, 15h, 21h and 3h). Each treatment was evaluated in triplicate, and each trial unit had eight fishes with 313 g average weight, stoked into a 1 m³ (1x1x1 m) net cage. The nine net cages were located on a 120 m² earth pond. The trial lasted for 60 days. Continuous feeding promoted the highest weight and biomass gain, specific growth rate and feed consumption. Nocturnal and diurnal feeding treatments showed similar weight gain; however, diurnal feeding had the best feed conversion ratio. The preferred feeding time for pirarucu was the nocturnal period, mainly at the beginning of night. Data from this study indicated that the preferred feeding time is not the best one for feeding pirarucu on a commercial husbandry. The most indicated feeding period for this species, based on its feed conversion capacity, is diurnal period
