  abstract = {{F}ish unlike terrestrial animals, use a large amount of protein as an energy source for their energy metabolism. {W}hen fed on a high protein raiton, the fish itself may choose which amount of protein in food will be converted into body growth and which will be burned through the catabolism. {T}herefore, in the study one diet was designed with a high protein content and fed to fish with different levels : 0, 5, 15, 25, 35 and 45 g crude protein kg/d. #{P}. bocourti$ has a higher growth rate than #{P}. hypophthalmus$ at the same food intake. {H}owever, the higher growth observed in #{P}. bocourti$ is obviously associated to higher fat accumulation in the body. {T}he protein efficiency, {NPU} and {PER}, tends to be reduced at higher protein intake in both species. {E}nergy and protein requirements for maintenance were calculated to be 128 and 92 k{J}/kg/day, and 5.16 and 3.24 g/kg/day, and #{P}. bocourti$ and #{P}. hypophthalmus$, respectively. #{P}. bocourti$ has nearly a double protein and energy requirement for maintenance. {T}he event may be linked to the fact that #{P}. bocourti$ has a higher growth rate and higher ability to synthesise a large amount of body lipid than #{P}. hypophthalmus. {A}n estimate of protein requirement was in the range of 12-13 and 11-12 g/kg/day in #{P}. bocourti$ and #{P}. hypophthalmus$, respectively. {T}he {DP}/{DE} ratio was estimated to be 18 and 17 mg/k{J} in #{P}. bocourti$ and #{P}. hypophthalmus$, respectively. {T}hese low {DP}/{DE} ratios may be related to the fact that the protein requirement was relatively low in the two species.
