This work evaluated the effects of different carbon/nitrogen (C/N) ratios in the larvae and fry culture of Piaractus orinoquensis in biofloc system on the water quality, proximate analysis and growth performance. The experiment was conducted in two stages: (a) larval stage from 0 to 12 days post stocking (DPS) and (b) fry stage from 13 to 24 DPS, at a density of 10 larvae/L. Three groups of C/N ratios were evaluated as follows: T1: 10/1 ratio, T2: 15/1 ratio and T3: 20/1 ratio, each treatment with three replicates. Both in the larval and fry culture, total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) and nitrite were higher in the T2 and T3 treatments, while the nitrogen removal in T1 treatment was more efficient, resulting less TAN, nitrite and higher nitrate. However, the water quality parameters in all treatments were within the appropriate ranges for fish culture in biofloc. T2 treatment was nutritionally better, presenting higher levels of protein, lipids and energy. In both stages, P. orinoquensis survival and final weight were significantly higher in the T2 treatment. In conclusion, P. orinoquensis larvae and fry culture in biofloc is viable, improving the survival and growth at a C/N ratio of 15/1.
Titulo en ingles: Influence of the temperature in the survival of larvae of Rhamdia sebae c.f. (Siluriforme heptapteridae).RESUMEN: Para determinar la influencia de la temperatura en la sobrevivencia de larvas de Rhamdia sebae c.f., durante la primera hora pos-siembra para alevinaje en estanques de tierra, ejemplares de 120 horas de nacidos, previamente alimentados desde las 72 horas pos-eclosión, cada 6 horas, con naúplios de Artemia sp. Fueron sometidas a diferentes tratamientos de temperatura (5.5 a 39.0ºC, con intervalos de 0.5ºC), efectuándose registros de sobrevivencia cada cinco minutos durante una hora. La sobrevivencia de las larvas fue mayor de 80% entre 14-33 ºC sin diferencias estadísticas significativas (p<0,05), constituyéndose éste intervalo en el rango de confort. Los rangos de estrés inferior y superior en los que se obtuvo un porcentaje de sobrevivencia entre 30 y 80% fueron de 10.5-14 ºC y 33-37ºC respectivamente. Los rangos críticos inferior y superior, con un porcentaje de sobrevivencia inferior al 30%, se establecieron en 6-10.5 ºC y 37 a 38.5ºC respectivamente. Las temperaturas letales fueron 5.5 y 39 ºC. El tiempo de repuesta de ajuste a la temperatura “aclimatación”, fue estimado en 10 minutos (95% de confiabilidad). Palabras clave: Rhamdia sebae, larvicultura-alevinaje, temperatura, rangos de confort, estrés, critico, aclimatación.ABSTRACT: To determine the influence of the temperature in the survival of larvae of Rhamdia sebae c.f., during the first hour after the seeds for the alevinaje, larvae of 120 hours of born, previously fed from the 72 hours post- beginning every six hours with nauplii of saline Artemia, they were subjected to different treatments of temperature (5.5 to 39 ºC, with interval of 0.5 ºC), each treatment with six replies and registrations every five minutes. The survival of the larvae was bigger than 80% among 13 to 33 ºC during the whole experienced time and in all you reply them carried out, without significant statistical differences between treatments and times to p <0,05, being constituted this interval in the range of comfort. The ranges of inferior stress and superior with percentage of survival between 30 and 80%; they went from 10.5 at 13.5 ºC and 33.5 at 37ºC respectively. The ranges of it breaks, with a percentage of inferior survival to 30%, they went from 6 to 10 ºC for the range of it breaks inferior and 37.5 to 38.5 ºC for the range of it breaks superior. The lethal temperatures were 5.5 and 39 ºC. The time of having restored from adjustment to the temperature (“acclimatization”), it was estimated in 10 minutes (95% of dependability). Key words: Rhamdia sebae, temperature, larvario development, comfort, break, sobreexperience.
