Protein and amino acid supplementation in tambaqui feed

The tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) has high potential for zootechnical exploitation because as well as having highly prized meat it can reach a commercial size of around 1kg in the first year of rearing in captivity. However there is a lack of information on crude protein and its reduction with supplementation of limiting amino acids. Therefore in this book I present the results of research carried out with the aim of determining the effects of crude protein levels and their reduction with amino acid supplementation based on the ideal protein concept in rations for tambaqui fry.
