Resumo

The effect of partially replacing protein by carbohydrates in eel (Anguilla anguilla) diets was studied. The growth of eels fed 40% protein and 38% wheat meal was greater than that of eels fed 50% protein and 20% wheat meal or 30% protein and 56% wheat meal. The body fat of eels fed a high carbohydrate diet was greater (weight/weight) than the body fat of eels fed a low carbohydrate diet. The food conversion value was lower in eels fed 40% protein than eels fed 50% or 30% protein. However, the protein efficiency ratio was lower in eels fed a low percentage of protein (30%) than that of eels fed a high percentage of protein (40% or 50%).
