Abstract

In the southern region of Honduras it has been viewed aquaculture as an alternative for obtaining high quality protein for low-income rural population. In this area obtaining alternative low-cost local inputs and fast-growing aquaculture is key to ensuring the success of the processes that strengthen food security in the population. One option for achieving this goal is the use of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) as specie of culture and flour Jícaro (Crescentia alata) as a basis for the development of low-cost food. In this study the growth of channel catfish and tilapia in fattening stage was evaluated obtaining a conversion factor of 3.56: 1 and 4.19: 1 respectively, with feed containing 25% crude protein and 70% of its composition flour-based Jícaro. The tilapia obtained an increase in daily weight 0.68 grams and 2.76 grams the catfish; the condition factor in the two species at the end of the experiment was appropriate.
