<b>Tolerance of Nile tilapia juveniles to highly acidic rearing water

Abstract: The present work aimed at determining the tolerance of Nile tilapia juveniles to highly acidic rearing waters and the effects of water acidity on the quality of tank effluents. The experimental design consisted of four treatments with different water pH values (4.12 ± 0.84; 5.13 ± 0.74; 6.14 ± 0.64 and 8.06 ± 0.48), with five replicates each. No exchange of water was performed throughout the study, only water replenishment to maintain the initial level. Variables of water quality, soil, growth performance, met… Show more

“…These authors, however, have reared tilapia fingerlings in oligotrophic clear waters, in tanks with 100% daily water exchange. Consequently, there were low concentrations of toxic metabolites in the water, such as ammonia and H 2 S. However, Nile tilapia juveniles have grown surprisingly well on acidic organic-matter rich waters (pH < 6) in previous studies carried out in our laboratory (Nobre, Lima, & Magalhães, 2014;Rebouças, Lima, & Cavalcante, 2015;Silva, Santos Lima, Vale, & Carmo, 2013). Colt, Momoda, Chitwood, Fornshell, and Schreck (2011) have also found that O. niloticus could be transferred from pH 6 -7 to as low as pH 4.2 without problems.…”

“…However, recent data by Nobre, Lima and Magalhães (2014) suggest that the optimal range of water pH for farming Nile tilapia juveniles ranges from 5 to 8, with the species adapting and growing well in moderately acidic waters. Similarly, Rebouças et al (2015) and Wangead, Geater and Tansakul (1988) reported O. niloticus juveniles that showed better growth performance, high survival and low mortality rates when reared in acidic waters as low as pH 4.…”

“…But in spite of acid deposition in these lakes and rivers, many fish species are known to live and adapt to the acidic waters. One of such fish species is Mozambique tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus, which has some mechanisms for adaptation to acidic water (Rebouças, Lima, Cavalcante, & Sá, 2015). Likewise, the tambaqui, Colossoma macropomum, shows increase growth in acidic waters and is negatively affected by waters with pH above 8 (Aride, Roubach, & Val, 2007).…”

“…Todos os métodos gravimétricos que se baseiam na remoção da camada de gelo do produto através da aplicação de água, utilizando a diferença entre o peso inicial e o peso do produto desglaciado para estimar o percentual de gelo na superfície da amostra (Rebouças et al, 2015). Segundo Neiva et al (2015) todas as metodologias são eficientes em pescado com 20% de glaciamento, não havendo diferença entre elas.…”

“…Entretanto, Vanhaecke et al (2010) constataram valores superiores ao determinado por lei, ultrapassando 45% de água nos produtos analisados. Rebouças et al (2015) detectou relação inversamente proporcional entre o glaciamento presente nas amostras e a quantificação das metodologias oficiais. Ou seja, a eficácia dos métodos é reduzida com o aumento do percentual de glaciamento do produto, logo, não são capazes de determinar a real quantidade de água incorporada em amostras com excesso de glaciamento, sendo necessário ajuste nas metodologias.…”
