Amazon, Aquaculture, Performance, ParasiteAbstract
In the Marajó Island (State of Pará, Brazil) the most bred species with the greatest economic interest is the tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum). Currently, one of the problem that most worries technicians and aquaculturists in Marajó is the occurrence of diseases. Many diseases require preventive management practices. However, such care is not always taken. Thus, the aim of this study was to report a case of tambaqui fingerling mortality by monogenous parasites in Marajó island. The animals were acquired in commercial fish farming and transported to the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Pará (IFPA) Campus Breves. A Part of fish were kept in laboratory for nutrition experiment and part was kept in excavated tanks. In conclusion, the occurrence of monogenoids resulted in mortality and reduced weight gain of animals kept in experimental environment, the same not being observed in their counterparts kept in excavated tanks.
