PROTEIN AND LIPID METABOLISM ADJUSTMENTS IN SILVER CATFISH (RHAMDIA QUELEN) DURING DIFFERENT PERIODS OF FASTING AND REFEEDING

Protein and lipid metabolism adjustments in silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen) during different periods of fasting and refeeding

Abstract The fish may experience periods of food deprivation or starvation which produce metabolic changes.In this study, adult donut wall pegboard Rhamdia quelen males were subjected to fasting periods of 1, 7, 14, and 21 days and of refeeding 2, 4, 6, and 12 days.The results demonstrated that liver protein was depleted after 1 day of fasting, but
