Growth of (Rainbow Trout) through a Recirculation System in the Foothills of the Extreme North of Chile.

Given the overexploitation of fisheries and the growing consumption of sea products, aquaculture is emerging as an alternative to meet the demand for protein at regional, national, and global levels. In northern Chile, the foothills of the Andes offer an opportunity for sustainable economic diversification. In this study, results of a rainbow trout () culture in a recirculation system are presented, analyzing its growth and performance under altitude conditions.

Feeding Habits of (Cuvier, 1832) in Northern Chile and Southern Perú.

The trophic relationships of pelagic fishes with migratory traits such as the South Pacific Bonito, (Cuvier, 1832), have not been studied in depth in the past. The objective of the present research was to analyze the feeding habits of South Pacific Bonito by sex and to analyze a comparison between summer and autumn months in three different areas of the eastern South Pacific by applying different techniques used in trophic biology. Between December 2013 and June 2014, specimens were captured in the areas of Pozo de Lisas (Ilo, Peru), La Capilla (Arica, Chile) and Chanavayita (Iquique, Chile).

Breeding of a Wild Population of South Pacific Bonito (Cuvier 1832) Broodstock under Laboratory Conditions in Pisagua, Northern Chile.

The wild population of South Pacific bonito , which has a wide distribution in northern Chile, is considered of importance in Chilean aquaculture. The biological feasibility of cultivation of any marine species begins with the establishment of an initial broodstock population to obtain eggs, larvae, and juveniles. In this work, 22 South Pacific bonito fishing campaigns were carried out in Pisagua, Chile, between spring in November 2011 and the summer in January 2012.
