Feeding frequency and rate during feed training of Pacamã juveniles

The objective of this work was to evaluate feeding frequency and rate during feed training of pacamã juveniles. Feeding for three or four times a day and the feeding rates at 50, 75 and 100% of biomass were tested. Feeding management did not affect fish growth, survival, mortality, and cannibalism. Lack of management effect was kept when animals were fed extruded feed threefold a day, during 30 days. Feeding rate at 50% of biomass and threefold-a-day feeding can be used for the feed training of pacamã juveniles.
