| Description: | A feeding experiment was conducted to evaluate the growth of tiger guapote, Cichlasoma managuense (Gunther), fed on isocaloric diets with varying proteinxnergy ratios. The relative metabolic growth rate increased with the protein:energy ratio up to 110-120 mg protein/kcal {P < 0-05). The protein efficiency ratio was optimal at llOmg protein/kcal. The body composition was clearly influenced by diet composition. Results indicate that juvenile C managuense obtains near optimal growth rates when fed 35-40% protein diets with 110-120mg protein/kcal. Higher ratios will not be cost effective |
