Abstract

Because of the potential water and favorable climatic conditions, fish farming in Brazil has been considered a great economic potential, but for their full development, there is a challenge, the need to reduce production costs. Aiming to explore alternatives to reduce cost in the preparation of diets for fish, this study aims to investigate possibilities to replace the feed ration for an alternative use as raw material, elements such as fish meal, from the tailings the processing of fish (heads, viscera and carcasses of fish), the use of tailings from family agriculture (seeds, bark, roots, leaves and fruits) and the cultivation and capture of agencies intended to supplement food (termites, earthworms and ants) aiming at the partial or even total replacement of commercial feed intended to supply used in fish farming. The methodology consisted in the analysis of six published studies which were observed in the species of fish, by-products used as raw material for the elaboration of alternative food, the methodologies used in cultivation, and the results of each study. The result showed that all the experiments were successful in pescentuais siguinificativos of the commercial meal -replacement by some other form of nutrition.
