Five-day-old pacu larvae (Piaractus mesopotamicus) with average length and weight of 5.96 mm and 0.42 mg, respectively, were reared as follows: in a semi-intensive system with larvae stocked directly into fertilized ponds ...

The low-salinity water may improve live food utilization during larviculture, mainly when larvae are fed with salt water organisms. This study aimed to determine the median lethal concentration (LC50) of NaCl in water for ...

In this study, the costs and gross income related to the production of pacu Piaractus mesopotamicus juveniles were evaluated. This evaluation took into consideration a semi-intensive rearing, with direct stocking of the ...
