description The pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus) is a neotropical freshwater fish. It is one of the most important species farmed in areas of the Parana and Paraguay Rivers basins. The effects of different rearing protocols on growth, survival and incidence of skeletal malformations in pacu larvae were analyzed. A total of six experimental treatments were considered, consisting of: a semiintensive larviculture (LS) in ponds; intensive larviculture (LIn) in laboratory (both LS and LIn until 60 days of life); and mixed larviculture, with 20 days of semi-intensive larviculture into cages in ponds after 14 (L1), 21 (L2), 33 (L3) or 40 (L4) days of laboratory larviculture. At the end of the experimental period, LS larvae showed higher growth rate, with average weight values (2.28g) and total length (TL-48.20mm) statistically higher than the rest (P0.05). L1 to L4 treatments showed intermediate growth values, without differences between them (P0.05), while LIn presented the lowest growth (P0.05). Survival was around 75% in all experimental groups, except LS, that presented a significantly lower value (17.5%, P0.05). Skeletal abnormalities were detected in all experimental treatments, but LIn and L1 presented the lowest incidence. In no case, visible morphological alterations were found. This study shows that prolonging pacu rearing under laboratory conditions at high densities improves temporal availability and survival of juvenile without affecting growth or subsequent osteological development of fish.

O pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus) é um peixe neotropical de água doce. É uma das espécies mais importantes cultivadas em áreas de bacias dos rios Paraná e Paraguay. Foi analisado o efeito da duração da larvicultura intensiva no crescimento, sobrevivência e incidência de malformações ósseas em pacu. Os tratamentos consistiram de uma larvicultura semiintensiva (LS) em viveiros, larvicultura intensiva no laboratório até 60 dias de idade (LIn), ou misto, com 20 dias de larvicultura semiintensiva após 14 (L1), 21 (L2), 33 (L3) e 40 (L4) dias de larvicultura no laboratório. No final da experiência, as larvas do tratamento LS apresentaram maior crescimento, com valores de peso médios (2,28g) e comprimento total (CT-48,20mm) estatisticamente superior ao resto (P0,05). Os tratamentos L1 a L4 apresentaram valores de crescimento intermediários, sem diferença estatística entre eles (P0,05), enquanto LIn apresentaram os menores valores de crescimento estimados (P0,05). A sobrevivência foi estimada em torno de 75% em todos os grupos, com exceção do LS, o qual apresentou um valor mais baixo (17,5%, P0,05). Em todos os tratamentos experimentais, foram detectadas alterações esqueléticas, mas em nenhum caso foi encontrado alteração morfológica visível. O presente estudo mostra que a retenção prolongada de larvas de pacu em alta densidade melhora a disponibilidade temporal e sobrevivência dos juvenis, sem afetar o crescimento ou desenvolvimento osteológico posterior destes.
