Seasonality of reproduction of Piaractus brachypomus in South Bolivia
The reproductive period of Piaractus brachypomus is short in South Bolivia. This area is close to the Southern limit of the species and conditions favourable to its reproduction last for only a few months. In order to increase fry production, we studied the possibility of extending its spawning period in captivity.

Effect of dietary carbohydrates and lipids on growth in cachama (Piaractus brachypomus)
The effects of diets with three contents of carbohydrates and lipids were evaluated on the growing performance of cachama Piaractus brachypomus juveniles (initial weight 7.8 ± 0.49 g). The experiments were performed a 3 × 3 factorial design (200, 280 and 360 g of carbohydrates and 40, 80 and 120 g of lipids kg−1).

Genetic identification of F1 and post-F1 serrasalmid juvenile hybrids in Brazilian aquaculture.
Juvenile fish trade monitoring is an important task on Brazilian fish farms. However, the identification of juvenile fish through morphological analysis is not feasible, particularly between interspecific hybrids and pure species individuals, making the ...

ABSTRACT Aeromonas hydrophila is a major zoonotic bacterial pathogen responsible for haemorrhagic septicemia, substantial economic losses in aquaculture and increasing antimicrobial resistance among field isolates. It is also one of the main bacterial species associated with mortality outbreaks in pirapitinga, Piaractus brachypomus, culture in the ...

ABSTRACT The fatty acid composition of fish is influenced by species, age, diet, and tissues, which respond differently to dietary lipids. This study examined how two commercial diets with contrasting polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) profiles, affecting eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), alter the fatty acid composition in ...

ABSTRACT Biofloc technology (BFT) offers a sustainable aquaculture strategy; however, the value of its byproduct, biofloc meal (BFM), as a feed ingredient requires validation for key species. This study evaluated the use of BFM from a tilapia–molasses system as a feed ingredient for white cachama (Piaractus orinoquensis) juveniles.

La cachama blanca (Piaractus brachypomus), una especie potencial para el mejoramiento genético
Resumen En Colombia, la piscicultura continental es una alternativa de seguridad alimentaria, que tiene un alto incremento (10% anual), considerándose especies como Tilapia (Oreochromis sp.) y cachama blanca (Piaractus brachypomus), los dos renglones más importantes para su desarrollo. Aunque la cachama blanca es una especie en la cual se han realizado
