The South American continent is known for its high production and exports in fisheries and aquaculture, but has not reached its full potential in fish farming. The latest data on fish production in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela were explored in this review. Aspects of biology, production, market and health of the species most produced in South America are described in detail. These species include the round fish (Colossoma spp., Piaractus spp. and hybrids) and catfish (Pseudoplatystoma spp. and hybrids), in addition to the promising pirarucu Arapaima gigas, yellowtail tetra Astyanax altiparanae and silver catfish Rhamdia quelen. Among the countries mentioned, Chile and Brazil are two of the largest intensive fish producers in the world. Chile relies primarily on marine fish, whereas Brazil is prominent for continental production. Special emphasis is given to the black pacu Colossoma macropomum because it is a commonly farmed fish in South American countries and offers several desirable productive characteristics (domesticated, omnivorous and easy to reproduce). Furthermore, this fish has the greatest potential to compete economically with tilapia production in South America. The production of native fish is currently overtaking the production of exotic species in some countries, which is considered a milestone for South American aquaculture. Regarding diseases, the main pathogens are similar to those observed throughout the world, such as Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, different species of monogeneans and trichodinids, and the bacteria Aeromonas hydrophila. Local pathogens, such as the parasites Perulernaea gamitanae and Goezia spinulosa, are also concerning.

“…In recent years, a number of freshwater fish from South America have attracted increasing attention for their potential in aquaculture (Khan, Pether, Bruce, Walker & Herbert 2014;Portella, Jomori, Leitão, Menossi, Freitas, Kojima, Lopes, Clavijo-Ayala & Carneiro 2014;Pradhan, Jena, Mitra, Sood & Gisbert 2014;Sa, Gavil an, Rioseco, Llancabure, Vargas-Chacoff, Augsburger & Bas 2014;Volkoff 2015). The omnivorous Leiarius marmoratus and the carnivorous Pseudoplatystoma reticulatum are among the largest fishes in the South American hydrographic basins.…”

We report feeding studies on hybrid fish (carnivorous × omnivorous) to determine the interactions between protein sources during diet selection trials. We also examined behavioural rhythms (feeding and locomotor activity) using a self‐feeding system mounted with a feeder connected to an infrared photocell. Twenty fish (28.20 ± 0.05 g) were distributed in four aquariums (50 L each). First, the system was tested to evaluate the adaptation of catfish (Pseudoplatystoma reticulatum × Leiarius marmoratus) to self‐feeding (step I). During this 28‐day period, feeding and locomotor activity rhythms were recorded. In the second step, to analyse protein self‐selection, a group of 20 fish (19.10 ± 0.05 g) was released in the aquaria. The hybrid catfish were given free access to diets (soya bean meal protein (SP) vs. bovine liver protein (BP)) through two self‐feeders. The same procedure was used for (SP) vs. fish meal protein (FP). The catfish learned to activate the feeders to demand a daily feed amount equivalent to 1.8% of their body weight. The fish performed most of their actions (89.0% feeding activity and 94.1 0% locomotor activity) in the night. The diet choice by the catfish became clearer with a significantly lower intake of BP (0.37 g per 100 g body weight, 24.6%) vs. SP (1.06 g per 100 g body weight, 75.4%) and SP (0.61 g per 100 g body weight, 38.9%) vs. FP (0.91 g per 100 g body weight, 61.1%). These findings should be considered when discussing feeding behaviour, nutritional targets and protein sources for future aquaculture feeds.

“…candidates have had ontogeny of the mouthparts, buccopharyngeal cavity, and digestive system described in great detail from hatch Ma et al 2014;Portella et al 2014;Sarasquete et al 2014). While no such description exists for Gulf Killifish or congeneric species, our extensive laboratory observations of embryonic development, hatching, and first feeding in Gulf Killifish indicate that this species possesses early life history traits that are relatively uncommon among fishes, thereby influencing the outcomes of a first feeding study.…”

“…The earliest documentation of functional mouthparts and exogenous feeding in other fishes was 9-10 h posthatch and 32-36 h posthatch, respectively, for the freshwater Brycon spp. native to the Neotropics (Portella et al 2014). In fishes that delay hatching in terrestrial environments, yolk is consumed and embryonic development proceeds at a slower rate throughout incubation until the egg is either immersed in water or dies in response to a depletion of reserves (Martin 1999).…”

Feeding Larval Gulf Killifish: Total Replacement of Artemia Nauplii and Co‐Feeding from Hatch

et al. 2016

Larval Gulf Killifish Fundulus grandis hatching from air‐incubated eggs are precocial, with well‐developed mouths and eyes providing an immediate capacity for exogenous feeding. Live feeds are almost universally used in finfish and crustacean hatcheries, with newly hatched brine shrimp Artemia spp. nauplii being a standard. Across two experiments from hatch in Gulf Killifish, we evaluated the ability to replace Artemia nauplii with prepared diets. Experiment 1 measured growth and survival from hatch through 8 weeks in larval Gulf Killifish fed either Artemia nauplii or one of five commercially available diets. Experiment 2 measured survival and SL of Gulf Killifish larvae at 5, 10, and 15 d posthatch among treatments consisting of animals fed Artemia nauplii, the best‐performing commercial diet from experiment 1, or an experimental microbound diet or “co‐fed” the microbound diet and Artemia. In experiment 1, Gulf Killifish larvae fed live Artemia nauplii exhibited growth that significantly outperformed commercially available formulated diets. Mean ± SE (SEM) survival (%) among treatments ranged from 51.1 ± 7.4 to 86.2 ± 2.1. Larvae fed one commercially prepared diet outperformed larvae fed the other four commercial diets in terms of growth. In experiment 2, mean SL was significantly different among treatments by 15 d posthatch. Mean ± SEM survival (%) across all treatments in experiment 2 ranged from 87.7 ± 0.8 to 99.2 ± 0.4. Results of these experiments are some of the first to document acceptable growth and survival of finfish larvae when Artemia nauplii are completely replaced with formulated diets from hatch. The distinctive larval biology of the study species in concert with the ability to air‐incubate the embryos were presumably important factors in the ability to completely replace Artemia nauplii from hatch.
