The light intensity in growth, behavior and skin pigmentation of juvenile catfish Lophiosilurus alexandri (Steindachner)

ABSTRACT The survival of several fish species in captivity depends on their adaptation to the environmental conditions and the biological characteristics. The objective of the study was to evaluate the influence of different light intensity levels in growth, behavior and skin pigmentation in juvenil...
