Produtos agrícolas e florestais como alimento de tambaqui 293 Notas CientíficasProdutos agrícolas e florestais como alimento suplementar de tambaqui em policultivo com jaraqui Agricultural and forest products as supplementary feeding for tambaqui in polyculture with jaraquiAbstract -The objective of this paper was to evaluate the performance of tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) in a polyculture trial with jaraqui (Semaprochilodus insignis), using agricultural and forest products as supplementary feeding for tambaqui. Two ponds, measuring 644 m 2 (Pond A, associated with pigs) and 1,075 m 2 (Pond B, non associated), were stocked with 0.5 tambaqui/m 2 and 0.1 jaraqui/m 2 . After 371 days, tambaqui showed a mean growth from 18.6±4.5 g to 997.1±195.08 g in Pond A, and from 81.4±18.8 g to 519.9±191.7 g in Pond B. Feeding management of Pond A may be a sustainable alternative of tambaqui production in substitution to commercial rations.
RESUMOFoi avaliado o efeito da redução dos níveis de proteína e a suplementação de metionina e/ou lisina em rações sobre a excreção de amônia em juvenis de tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum). O experimento foi realizado em delineamento inteiramente casualizado com esquema fatorial de duas entradas: 2 níveis protéicos (25 e 20%) e 4 níveis de inclusão de aminoácidos: a) 0% de suplementação, b) DL-Metionina (3% da PB), c) L-lisina (5% da PB) e d) Dl-Metionina (3% da PB) + L-lisina (5% da PB), com duração de 55 dias. A coleta de água das unidades experimentais ocorreu em três momentos (1 o dia, 27 o dia e 55 o dia) durante o período experimental. Nestes dias, foram realizadas 3 coletas de amostras de água para análise de amônia de cada unidade experimental (08:00 , 14:00 e 20:00 horas). Os dados de excreção de amônia foram analisados por ANOVA com medidas repetidas no tempo a 5% do nível de significância. A redução em 5% do nível de proteína na dieta gerou uma diminuição de 28,4% na excreção de amônia. Contudo, a suplementação de lisina e metionina não influenciaram esta diminuição.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Amônia, Lisina, Metionina, Proteína, Tambaqui. Reduction of protein levels and methionine and/or lysine supplementation in diets and their effects in total ammonia nitrogen excretion of tambaqui juveniles (Colossoma macropomum Cuvier, 1818) ABSTRACTIt was evaluated the effect of the reduction of crude protein level (CP) and the lysine and/or methionine supplementation in total ammonia nitrogen excretion on tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) juveniles. The experiment developed in a factorial and randomized design with two levels of protein contents (20% and 25% CP) and four levels of amino acid supplementation: a) Dl-methionine (0% of CP) and L-lysine (0% of CP), b) Dl-methionine (3% of CP), c) L-lysine (5% of CP), d) Dl-methionine (3% of CP) + L-lysine (5% of CP), during 55 days. The water sampling from experimental units was done at 3 moments (1 0 day, 27 0 day e 55 0 day). In these days, 3 samples of each experimental unit were collected in elapsing of the time (08:00 a.m., 02:00 p.m. and 08:00 p.m.). The ammonia excretion data were analysed by repeated-measures ANOVA (p>0,05) with time as within effect. The reduction of 5% in diet protein, decreased in 28,4% total ammonia excretion decreased, however, the lysine and methionine supplementation did not influenced this factor.
Matrinxã is a very promising amazonian fish for fish culture in Brazil. This study is aimed at determining the approximate tolerated temperature range in this species. Groups of ten young matrinxã specimens (15.1±0.8 cm average length and 58.3±10.3 g average weight) were subjected to 9 different temperatures for 24 hours without previous acclimation. Fish were transferred from an initial temperature of 27ºC to those ranging from 12 to 39ºC at 3ºC intervals. Both 12ºC and 39ºC temperatures were lethal for this species with 100% mortality rate. Following 2 minutes of exposure to 39ºC fish changed behavior, showing an increase in opercular movements and erratic swimming; mortality reached 100% after 18 minutes. At 12ºC, fish lost equilibrium immediately after exposure and started swimming erratically; after only 4 minutes fish became lethargic and remained immobile on the bottom of the tank. Total mortality was only evident following 24 hours. At 15ºC matrinxã lost equilibrium after 5 to 6 minutes of exposure but mortality was only 20% after 24 hours. Fish tolerated well temperatures ranging from 18 to 36ºC with 100% survival after 24 hours. This preliminary study suggests that temperatures between 18 and 36ºC are the approximate range normally tolerated by this species, although survival at other temperatures may be increased by gradually acclimating fish to the more severe increases or decreases in temperature. In addition, it indicates that matrinxã may be cultivated over a wide geographical area.
