RESUMOAvaliou-se o efeito da densidade de estocagem na produção de "cachadia" (Pseudoplatystoma fasciatum x Leiarius marmoratus) em sistema de recirculação de água. Nas duas primeiras fases, com duração de 27 e 40 dias e usando animais com média de peso inicial de 31 e 57g, respectivamente, foram testados 20, 40, 60 e 80 peixes/m 3 . Na terceira e quarta fase, usando peixes com média de peso de 169 e 399g durante 41 e 99 dias, respectivamente, foram testados 10, 20, 30 e 40 peixes/m 3 . A taxa de sobrevivência foi acima de 92%, sem diferenças significativas entre tratamentos. Verificou-se redução no ganho de peso diário com redução com o incremento da densidade na segunda e na quarta fase experimental. A biomassa final apresentou relação direta com a densidade em todas as fases. Taxas de conversão alimentar entre 0,8 e 1,3:1 foram registradas. O "cachadia" atingiu 1,1kg em 207 dias de cultivo, mostrando-se promissor para a piscicultura intensiva.

ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different stocking densities on cachadia production (Pseudoplatystoma fasciatum x Leiarius marmoratus) in recirculating aquaculture system. In the two first phases for 27 and 40 days using fish with average weight of 31 and 57g, respectively, densities 20, 40, 60, and 80
This study aimed to evaluate the influence of increasing concentrations of dietary dry oregano leaves (DOL), ranging from 0 to 0.15%, on different performance parameters of Nile tilapia.Hence, two separate experimental trials testing growth factors (Trial 1) and innate immunity and disease resistance against Streptococcus agalactiae infection (Trial 2) were conducted with a total of 464 tilapia juveniles and two to four replicates. As a result, dietary inclusion of DOL did not induce significant effects on growth performance, hematological parameters, and fillet composition. However, there were significant differences in lysozyme activity between groups of DOL at 0.075% and the control (0%). Moreover, the bactericidal index of the positive control and groups supplemented with DOL were significantly higher than baseline treatment groups. For disease resistance, there was a reduction of 15% in the relative risk of streptococcosis in fish juveniles after dietary inclusion of oregano at 0.15%. In conclusion, the inclusion of DOL in tilapia diets resulted in no significant gains in terms of growth; nevertheless, the immune system and resistance of tilapia against S. agalactiae infection were significantly improved. † Amanda H. do Espirito Santo and Túlio S. de Brito should be considered joint first authors.
