Dietary total phosphorus supplementation in goldfish diets

ABSTRACT. Although goldfish (Carassius auratus) is an important species for the ornamental fish industry, few data are available regarding the nutrient requirement of this species, with emphasis to mineral nutrition. Thus, we designed a 45-day feeding trial to evaluate the effect of dietary total ph...

Although goldfish (Carassius auratus) is an important species for the ornamental fish industry, few data are available regarding the nutrient requirement of this species, with emphasis to mineral nutrition. Thus, we designed a 45-day feeding trial to evaluate the effect of dietary total phosphorus (P) levels on growth performance and carcass mineral composition of goldfish fingerlings. 210 goldfish with 1.18 ± 0.04 g were randomly stocked into 30 3L-aquaria in a completely randomized design. Test diets were formulated to contain the following dietary total P levels: 3.5, 6.5, 9.5, 12.5 and 15.5 g kg-1. Dietary P affected all growth parameters and carcass macrominerals deposition, however, the micromineral carcass composition was not affected. No P deficiency signs were observed throughout the experiment.

An exponential model best fitted to phosphorus utilization data with an estimated requirement of 8.6 g kg-1.
