  abstract = {{T}he influence of three commercial diets with different protein and lipid contents (40:14, 45:8, 48:8 protein:lipid - {P}:{L}, in % dry weight of diet) on growth performance, survival and the histology of the liver and intestine was analysed in early juveniles of silver arowana, {O}steoglossumbicirrhosum, reared in captivity. {I}ndividuals (initial wetweight-{W}-i=1.07 +/- 0.04g; total length-{TL}= 6.0 +/- 0.17cm) were raised in triplicate (n=12 fish per tank) at 26.2 +/- 0.1 degrees {C} and fed one of three commercial diets over 60days. {A}t the end of the trial, survival (90.5 +/- 3.3%) and condition factor (0.5 +/- 0.02) were not affected by dietary treatments, whereas specific growth rate, {TL} and {W} gain were lower in animals fed the 40{P}:14{L} diet. {H}istological analysis revealed a larger accumulation of lipid droplets in the intestines of the group supplied with the 40{P}:14{L} diet, as well as a larger surface of hepatic lipid vacuoles compared to the other treatments, although no signs of steatosis were observed. {J}uveniles fed the 48{P}:8{L} diet displayed the lowest liver lipid accumulation; however, a protein content higher than 45% did not improve growth performance. {T}he intestine and liver lipid accumulation of individuals fed the 45{P}:8{L} diet might indicate a more balanced lipidic metabolism. {I}ntestine and liver histologies proved to be useful markers to identify the nutritional condition in juveniles of {O}.bicirrhosum, even when differences in nutritional composition were subtle (i.e. protein variation of 3%).},
