Cultivation of sea chub Girella laevifrons (Perciformes: Kiphosidae) juveniles on the central coast of Peru

An interesting species to diversity aquaculture in Peru is the sea chub Girella laevifrons. The objectives of this work were to evaluate the adaptation to culture of G. laevifrons juveniles and to determine the productive parameters of growth and survival. Two groups of fish: group 1 (1.35 g) and group 2 (0.99 g) were kept in experimentation for 92 days. At the end of the experiment in both groups, no significant differences were found in the productive parameters as well as in survival where this was 100%. It was concluded that G. laevifrons tolerated captivity with high survival in both groups.
