Effect of enzymatic complex in the diet of pirarucu, Arapaima gigas juveniles [PDF]
Acta Amazonica, 2021 The pirarucu, Arapaima gigas is a native, carnivorous fish species from the Amazon basin. As carnivorous fish have low amylase activity, exogenous enzymes can improve the digestibility of carbohydrates in aquaculture feeds. We evaluated the digestibility

Chemical composition of different muscle zones in pirarucu (Arapaima gigas) [PDF]
Food Science and Technology, 2017 Abstract Identifying potential patterns in pirarucu ( Arapaima gigas ) composition, as a function of the different fish muscle zones (dorse, venter, ventrecha and tail), was the main objective of this research. For such, the different pirarucu muscle zones were evaluated, in order to obtain proximate composition and minerals content.

Dietary <i>Schizochytrium</i> sp. Meal Enhances the Fatty Acid Profile in Pirarucu (<i>Arapaima gigas</i>) Fillets with No Effect on Growth Performance and Health Status. [PDF]
Animals (Basel)Simple Summary This study focused on enhancing omega-3 in fillets of pirarucu by supplementing Schizochytrium sp. meal as a source of docosahexaenoic acid. Two diets with soybean oil or 5% Schizochytrium sp meal were tested for pirarucu.

Oxygen consumption from air and water, ammonia and urea-N excretion, and Na<sup>+</sup> fluxes during progressive aquatic hypoxia in Amazonian armoured catfish Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps and Pterygoplichthys pardalis. [PDF]
J Fish BiolAbstract The Amazonian loricariid fish Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps, from the Rio Negro, and Pterygoplichthys pardalis, from the Rio Solimões, are facultative air‐breathers that can use the stomach as an air‐breathing organ. Measurement of oxygen uptake under progressive aquatic hypoxia revealed a relatively high hypoxia resistance of both species.

Global Research Trends of Black Soldier Fly Larvae (<i>Hermetia illucens</i>) Meal in Aquaculture From a Scientometric Perspective (2007-2025). [PDF]
Aquac NutrBlack soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens) meal (BSFLM) has gained increasing attention over the past two decades as a sustainable and functional ingredient in aquafeeds. This study presents the first scientometric analysis of BSFLM research in aquaculture from 2007 to 2025, using data from Scopus and Web of Science (WOS).
