The main objective of this investigation is to determine the effect of two protein levels and two energy-to-protein ratios in diets of juvenile paiche (Arapaima gigas) on their productive performance and body composition. It was carried out at the Fish and Crustacean Nutrition and Feeding Research Laboratory (LINAPC), Academic Department of Nutrition of the National Agrarian University of La Molina. Thirty-two paiche juveniles of an average initial weight of 345.7 g were used, grouped in four blocks (large, medium, small and very small) randomly distributed in aquariums for growth tests. Four experimental diets were evaluated, resulting from the interaction of two protein levels (50 and 45 percent) and two energy to protein ratios (10 and 8.5 kcal ED/g PB); being for T1: 50%PB and a ratio of 10 kcal DE/g PB, T2: 50% PB and a ratio of 8.5 kcal DE/g PB, T3: 45%PB and a ratio of 10 kcal DE/g PB and T4: 45 %PB and 8.5 kcal DE/g PB ratio. The data obtained were analyzed using a completely randomized block design (DBCA) and using Tukey's test to evaluate statistical differences between treatments. The results found in terms of productive performance did not show significant statistical differences between treatments for weight gain (GP) and biomass (GB), feed intake (C), specific growth rate (TCE) and condition factor (K), however, numerically higher values were observed in T1. The feed conversion (CA) presented a statistical difference, being better for T2. Body composition presented statistically higher values with T1 for gross energy (EBc) and body ether extract (EEc); likewise, the hepatosomatic index (IHS) showed a statistical difference, producing a greater effect with T4. No statistical differences were found for the protein efficiency ratio (PER), body protein (PTc) and economic efficiency ratio (TEE) due to the effect of the factors evaluated, however, T2 was the most economically efficient. Therefore, it is concluded that using diets with a protein level of 50 percent and a ratio of 8.5 kcal DE/g PB, better feed conversion was obtained, while, with the same level of protein, but with a ratio of 10 kcal DE/g PB improved the values in terms of retention of gross body energy and body fat in juvenile paiche.
