This proposal aims to modernize the aquaculture animal facility at UNESP's Aquaculture Center (CAUNESP), ensuring compliance with Brazil's Normative Resolution CONCEA No. 61/2023 and MCTI Ordinance No. 9.037/2025. The initiative will improve four experimental units-Tilapia Culture, Fish Reproduction, Fish Genetics and Breeding, and Aquatic Microbiology and Parasitology-each with a strong …
Although the use of dietary fiber in diets for monogastrics has been left behind in the past, recent studies show that, at ideal levels, fiber has effects similar to commercial prebiotics currently sold. Its use in fish diets is linked to the principles of circular bioeconomy that aims to reuse waste in food production. The natural diet of tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) and its adaptatio…
Aquaculture Center of São Paulo State University is nowadays composed by 41 specialists working with several themes in aquaculture. In this universe, at least 27 researchers are awarded the CNPq PQ scholarship. This situation is reflected in management activities in Public Policies, such as consultancies and advisory services, since some members of CAUNESP have systematically occupied imp…

Brazilian aquaculture faces the challenge of reducing commercial feed costs without compromising the zootechnical performance and health of farmed fish. In this context, the use of agro-industrial by-products rich in dietary fiber, such as passion fruit residue (Passiflora edulis), emerges as a sustainable and functional alternative. This project aims to investigate the effects of includi…
Nucleotides (NTs) are functional supplements composed of a nitrogenous base, phosphate group and sugar. They are considered conditionally essential nutrients as they play key roles in the functioning of the animal organism. Dietary supplementation of NTs has been shown to increase the growth and palatability of the diet, promote intestinal development and repair, as well as increase the a…
Carbohydrate is an important non-protein energy source in fish feed, but diets high in carbohydrates cause metabolic disorders that affect intestinal health and contribute to a suppressed immune system. Choline has important functions in energy metabolism and acts as a hepatoprotector. However, the widely used form is choline chloride, which has low bioavailability and high hygroscopicity…

The increasing adoption of plant-based diets in aquaculture aims at greater sustainability, but may compromise the intestinal health of fish due to the presence of antinutritional factors. Studies report the occurrence of enteritis in carnivorous, omnivorous and even herbivorous species fed these diets. In the case of tambaqui, a native species of economic importance, there is still a lac…
The study of new ingredients for use in diets for fish, such as algae, is a matter of great importance. Although the productive responses received great attention, it is fundamental to know the physiological and metabolic effects of these ingredients to evaluate the potential of these foods. The overall objective of the project is to evaluate the use of microalgae as an alternative and po…
The proper utilization of dietary carbohydrates and the protein sparing effect result in decreased production costs and reduced nitrogen excretion. Therefore, studies are being conducted to analyze this possible sparing effect of dietary protein. Accordingly, the carbohydrate diet enables the dietary protein for maximum growth. The pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus) represents an interesting …
