Abstract
This paper aims to highlight the effects of various concentrations of protein premixtures on the growth in length and weight of adult specimens of ornamental fish Poecilia reticulata, bred in captivity. Of this consideration, the experiment was set up with six groups: R1, R2, R3, TG, TP and TD, which were fed differently as follows: R1 with mixed fodder containing 30% CP (crude protein), own recipe; R2 with mixed fodder containing 30% GP, own recipe; R3 with mixed fodder containing 30% CP, own recipe; TG with Troco Grower fodder containing 43% CP; TP with Troco Prim fodder containing 44% CP; TD with Tetra Discus fodder containing 48% CP. The research was conducted over a period of three months in which there have been followed the length and weight, to determine body indices (average increase of the weight gain, Fulton index and average weight ratio multiplier).

PCR detection of white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) from farmed Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) in selected sites of the Philippine
Great losses caused by white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) in shrimp culture have been attributed to poor screening procedures in farms and the lack of sufficient access to specific pathogen free brood stock. Thus, early...
