As exigências nutricionais de tilápias nas fases de desenvolvimento

Abstract

The objective of this work was analyzed as requirements of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Tilapia form different nutrients for growth, reproduction and health: essential amino acids for formation such as proteins in most tissues and fish; energy for maintenance of basic metabolism and growth; cellular fats that are essential membrane components and energy source; which are important for the formation of bones and teeth; form, which act as enzymatic components in different changes of general processes. The requirements of these nutrients are dependent on several factors such as: fish development stage, species, water temperature, among others. However, a balanced nutrition can help to demonstrate its full genetic potential in productive performance and better resistance to diseases. Thus, a methodology used to carry out this work is based on a literature review.
