“…The anesthetic effect of A. oleracea = S. acmella has already been shown by Barbas et al (2016) in tambaqui (C. macropomum) using the essential oil extracted from flowers. Posteriorly, his group also showed (Barbas et al, 2020) the same extract failed to attenuate the stress caused to juveniles of the same species during transportation. In this study, we showed the A. oleracea flowers' extract may, in fact, cause seizure-like behavior.…”

Anesthesia or seizure-like behavior? The effects of two Amazonian plants, Acmella oleracea and Piper alatabaccum in zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Currently, available fish anesthetics can produce important side effects, including respiratory arrest and distress. Easy-to-implement alternatives with low toxicity are needed to ensure fish health as well as to help artisanal fisheries and fish sellers in handling and transporting fishes, and native plants seems to be the best alternative. We aimed to implement an anesthetic protocol using crude ethanolic extracts from flowers and leaves of two Amazonian plants, the Acmella oleracea and Piper alatabaccum. We first tested the extracts for anesthesia, using the zebrafish as model. Even though in some treatments the animals apparently entered deep anesthesia, many of them presented aberrant behaviors and even died. Thus, we performed new experiments testing the extracts effects on seizure-like behaviors of the fish. Only the leaf extract of A. oleracea has potential effects for fish anesthesia. Both the flower extract from this plant and the leaf extract from P. alatabaccum induced seizure-like behavior in the animals. In conclusion, besides bringing a possible new anesthetic protocol for fish, our work draws attention for the neurotoxic effects the anesthetic solutions may cause, since several studies defend other Piper species as anesthetic for fish and A. oleracea flowers’ extract was already pointed as fish anesthetic.

“…In general, the efficacy and usability of anaesthetic agents are evaluated by monitoring induction and recovery times. Several anaesthesia studies have also focused on the evaluation of haematological and biochemical parameters of fish (Barbas et al., 2020; Becker et al., 2017; Boaventura et al., 2020; Ribeiro et al., 2019; Rożyński et al, 2019; Velisek et al., 2011), but few have studied the effect of anaesthetic agents on ECG parameters (Barbas, Maltez, et al, 2017; Hill & Forster, 2004; Huang et al., 2010; Ma et al., 2019). In the present study, the average values of G. rufa ECG parameters in different eugenol concentrations were studied (Figure 5).…”

In aquaculture, sedation and anaesthesia are performed to prevent undesirable situations, such as physical injuries and stress during measuring, weighing, transport, vaccination and blood sampling of fish species. For this purpose, synthetic anaesthetic agents, such as 2-phenoxyethanol and tricaine methanesulfonate (MS-222), and natural anaesthetic agents, such as essential oils (EOs) of Eugenia caryophyl-

“…As reported for jundia, the investigations carried out with tambaqui used RAS as an experimental system to evaluate other productive management systems or parameters, and they were not specifically designed to evaluate the growth performance of tambaqui in such systems. These studies mainly focused on nutrition (Paulino et al 2018;Júnior et al 2017;Nwanna et al 2008), reproduction (Gallego et al 2017;Maria et al 2015), management (Dantas et al 2020;da Costa et al 2019), behaviour (Reis et al 2019;Barbosa et al 2009), genetics (Ariede et al 2020;da Silva et al 2019) and health (Barbas et al 2020;Paz et al 2019). Lima et al (2019) evaluated different stocking densities of tambaqui juveniles in RAS.…”

South American fish species suitable for aquaponics: a review

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Tilapia and catfish are the most popular fish species in aquaponics. However, they are not well-accepted in all markets, and finding alternative species is important in order to increase the variety of food products and meet market demands. South America has several potential fish species for aquaponics systems. Encouraging the implementation of integrated aquaculture systems by providing information about the production of South American species can help to increase the supply of high-quality food and aquaculture diversification. Thus, data for five South American fish species with potential for aquaponics were compared with existing data for the main traditional warm water species in this system, tilapia and catfish. Moreover, the degree of suitability of the novel species for these systems in terms of zootechnical performance, tolerance to water quality and nutritional composition of fish flesh were discussed. The South American species considered were jundia or silver catfish (Rhamdia quelen), yellowtail lambari (Astyanax lacustris), pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus), tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) and snook (Centropomus spp.). Their description and the tabular comparison with the most traditional aquaponic-cultured species show they are suited for this production system. How suitable they are will depend on the system design, as well as the regional characteristics of the market where they will be produced.
