Such characteristics make this taxon a target for a host of users, objectives and needs (commercial and recreational fishing) which, together with loss of habitat space (mangroves), attest to its fragility. Over the recent years, a catch reduction of the fat snook, Centropomus parallelus, has been implied by recreational and artisanal fishermen of Paraná State. For lack of fishery statistics that would enable the investigation of this telltale resource depletion, the present research work endeavored to carry out a preliminary stock assessment based on the survey of recreational fishing tournaments and on the study of that species’ growth. The database was gathered by controlling the catches of nine of the mentioned tournaments, having C. parallelus and Centropomus undecimalis as target species, organized by the Paraná State Recreational Fishing League (LPPE), from November, 2005 to September, 2007 in the estuaries of Paranaguá Bay and Guaratuba Bay (25o441S – 48o22’W). A total of 3,290 specimens of C. parallelus were sampled for their total length ranging from 10.0 to 69.0 cm and of 158 specimens of C.undecimalis in the range of 14,0 – 68,0 cm. The strong specific dominance of over 95% justified the emphasis of this investigation on the fat snook. The weight-length relationship showed an isometric somatic development for the two species. The mean catch per unit effort (CPUE) was estimated as 0.977 individuals per hour and 0,328 kg per hour. For the growth studies, only 159 specimens were submitted to the extraction of sagittae otoliths, while all the others were released according to the catch-and-release rules required by the LPPE. Based on the analysis of otoliths’s microstructure, the von Bertallnafy growth parameters were estimated by means of different backcalculation methods (Fraser-Lee, linear BPH, linear SPH, and potential BPH and SPH) and fiting of the growth curve (Ford-Walford and electronic routine). The most adequate growth parameters in the species’ population dynamics were K = 0.13, L¥ = 79.0 cm and t0 = 0. The ELEFAN I technique has borne out the estimates arrived at through the length-at-age analysis. The longevity and the natural mortality coefficient were estimated as 23 years and 0.33, respectively. The average values of optimum catch length and age correspond to Lopt = 43.0 cm and topt = 6 years. About 95% of the maximum biomass were found to occur in the range from 38.0 cm (5 years) to 47.0 cm (7 years). The preliminary stock assessment of C. parallelus on the Paraná State coast, carried out by means of length composition analysis and age structure of the stock reported by recreational fishing tournaments, indicated the occurrence of growth overfishing, that is, large numbers of juveniles and few adult (>35.0 cm) specimens are captured, what characterizes an age-related unbalanced population / Os robalos são peixes muito apreciados pelo público consumidor de pescado e pelos pescadores amadores, pois possuem carne de excelente qualidade e proporcionam grande combatividade quando capturados com linha. Tais características tornam este grupo de peixes alvo de distintos usuários, finalidades e necessidades (pesca comercial e pesca amadora), que aliadas à perda de parte do habitat (manguezais) indicam sua fragilidade. Nos últimos anos, uma redução nas capturas de robalo-peva (Centropomus parallelus) vem sendo sugerida pelos pescadores amadores e artesanais no litoral do Paraná. Na ausência de estatísticas pesqueiras que possibilitassem investigar a suposta deplecção deste recurso, o presente trabalho buscou realizar uma avaliação preliminar deste estoque, fundamentada no acompanhamento de campeonatos de pesca esportiva e no estudo do crescimento da espécie. Os dados foram obtidos através do acompanhamento das capturas de 9 torneios de pesca esportiva, direcionados às espécies C. parallelus e Centropomus undecimalis, realizados pela Liga Paranaense de Pesca Esportiva (LPPE), entre novembro de 2005 e setembro de 2007, nos estuários Baía de Paranaguá e Baía de Guaratuba (25º 44’ S e 48º 22’ W). Foram registrados 3.290 exemplares de C. parallelus, com comprimentos totais compreendidos entre 10,00 e 69,00 cm e 158 exemplares de C. undecimalis, com comprimentos entre 14,00 e 68,00 cm. A forte dominância específica (>95%) justificou a ênfase deste trabalho sobre C. parallelus. A relação pesocomprimento indicou desenvolvimento somático isométrico para as duas espécies. A média da Captura por Unidade de Esforço (CPUE) foi estimada em 0,977 exemplar/embarcação/hora e 0,328 Kg/embarcação/ hora. Para o estudo do crescimento, foram abatidos somente 159 exemplares para a extração dos otólitos sagittae, todos os demais exemplares registrados (3290), foram soltos dentro das regras de pesque-e-solte exigidas pela LPPE. A partir da análise da macroestrutura dos otólitos, foram estimados os parâmetros de crescimento de von Bertalanffy através de distintas metodologias de retrocálculo (Fraser-Lee, BPH linear, SPH linear, BPH potencial e SPH potencial) e de ajuste da curva de crescimento (Ford-Walford e rotina eletrônica). Os parâmetros mais adequados aos conhecimentos anteriores sobre a biologia da espécie foram K= 0,13, L = 79,0 cm e t0 = 0. A análise das freqüências de comprimento (ELEFAN I) corroborou com as estimativas de crescimento obtidas pela análise dos otólitos. A longevidade (tmáx) e o coeficiente de mortalidade natural (M) foram estimados em 23 anos e 0, 33, respectivamente. O comprimento e a idade ótimos de captura correspondem a Lotimo = 43.0 cm e tótima = 6 anos. Para os comprimentos entre 38,0 cm (5 anos) e 47,0 cm (7 anos), também foram encontrados valores elevados de biomassa relativa, em torno de 95% da biomassa máxima possível. Na avaliação preliminar do estoque de C. parallelus no litoral do Paraná, realizada através da análise da composição em comprimentos e da estrutura etária das capturas registradas nos campeonatos de pesca esportiva, foi constatada a ocorrência de sobrepesca de crescimento, ou seja, a captura de grande quantidade de juvenis e poucos exemplares adultos (>35,0 cm), caracterizando um desequilíbrio na estrutura etária da população

O robalo-flecha, Centropomus umdecimalis, e robalo-peva, Centropomus parallelus, sÃo duas spÃcies habitantes de ambientes estuarino e costeiro marinho ao longo das regiÃes Norte, Nordeste e Sudeste do Brasil portanto, com grande potencialidade para a maricultura. A estimaÃÃo dos parÃmetros de crescimento, objeto principal deste trabalho, fornecerà as informaÃÃes necessÃrias para se avaliar a relaÃÃo custo/benefÃcio na implantaÃÃo de projetos de cultivo, principalmente quanto à eficiÃncia alimentar sobre a taxa de crescimento registrada por populaÃÃes naturais. Os dados bÃsicos foram obtidos por amostragem dos desembarques de pescado no Mercado de SÃo Pedro (NiterÃi, Estado do Rio de Janeiro), efetuados pela frota comercial de barcos linheiros que atuam ao longo da costa de Cabo Frio (23 S). O material coletado consiste de 264 exemplares, sendo 130 de C. undecimalis e 134 de C. parallelus, no perÃodo entre junho de 1999 e junho de 2000. Destes foram retiradas escamas para os estudo da idade e crescimento, por meio da identificaÃÃo dos anÃis etÃrios e mediaÃÃo das zonas de crescimento. As amplitudes de variaÃÃo do comprimento total foram 33,1 â 78,9 cm (C. undecimalis), e 29,5 â 57,3 cm (C. parallelus). As premissas bÃsicas sobre proporcionalidade nos padrÃes de crescimento da escama e do peixe, e sobre a periodicidade na formaÃÃo dos anÃis etÃrios, foram avaliadas por meio da anÃlise de regressÃo e variaÃÃo mensal no Incremento Marginal, respectivamente. Os parÃmetros de crescimento, comprimento mÃximo teÃrico, coeficiente de crescimento, e idade inicial aparente, bem como o Ãndice de desempenho do crescimento, foram estimados. O coeficiente de mortalidade natural (M) foi tambÃm estimado para fazer parte da razÃo M/K. AnÃlises estatÃsticas foram empregadas para se comparar o padrÃo de crescimento entre as duas espÃcies (teste t) e a significÃncia da mudanÃa de idade em intervalos mensais (teste H, de Kruskal-Wallis). Os resultados obtidos estÃo resumidos nos seguintes itens: (a) Confirmou-se a premissa de proporcionalidade isomÃtrica entre os comprimentos do peixe e da escama; (b) as âdatas de aniversÃrioâ do robaloflecha e do robalo-peva correspondem aos perÃodos mensais de abril-junho e agosto-outubro, respectivamente; (c) os parÃmetros de idade e crescimento estimados para o robalo-flecha foram: L = 101, 1 cm, W = 11,4 kg, K = 0,112, t0 = - 2,59 ano, tmax = 29,3 anos e fâ = 3,058; (d) os parÃmetros de idade e crescimento estimados para o robalo-peva foram: L = 67,9, W = 3,6 kg, K = 0,187, t0 = - 2,48 ano, tmax = 18,6 anos e fâ = 2,936; (e) O robalo-peva atinge um menor tamanho mais tem taxa de crescimento mais rÃpida do que o robalo-flecha; (f) o coeficiente de mortalidade natural foi estimado como M = 0,259 (C. undecimalis) e M = 0,406 (C. parallelus), com os respectivos valores de M/K = 2,312 e M/K = 2,171, que classificam estas espÃcies como pertencentes ao 4 nÃvel trÃfico; (g) Os valores do coeficiente de desempenho (fâ) confirmam a adoÃÃo de uma estratÃgia de crescimento compatÃvel com espÃcies predadoras de mÃdio e grande portes. / The common snook, Centropomus umdecimalis, and the fat snook, Centropomus parallelus, are two species that dwell on estuarine and costal marine environments along the North, Northeast and South Brazil, hence with great potential for mariculture. The estimation of age and growth parameters, the primary objective of this paper, should supply the necessary information to evaluate the cost/benefit ratio for the development of marine fish farms, especially as to feeding efficiency in promoting the enhancement of growth rates in comparison to that of wild populations. The databank was obtained by means of sampling of the landings made at the SÃo Pedro fishmarket, in NiterÃi, Rio de Janeiro State, by the commercial fleet of liners which fish for pelagic resources off Cabo Frioâs coast (23oS) The collected material was comprised of 264 specimens, 130 of C. undecimalis and 134 of C. parallelus, in the period from June, 1999 through June, 2000. From a site below the pectoral fin scales were drawn for age and growth studies to be performed by means of the identification of age rings and measurement of growth bands. Total lengths of the sampled fish were in the range of 33.1 â 78.9 cm (C. undecimalis) and 29.5 â 57.3 cm (C. parallelus). The basic assumptions on the dependence of fish size on scale size, and the periodicity in age rings formation were investigated by regression equations and monthly variations in the scaleâs marginal increment, respectively. The parameters of the growth equation, namely asymptotic length, growth coefficient and theoretical age at birth, and growth performance index as well were estimated. The natural mortality coefficient (M) was calculated in order to make up the M/K ratio. Statistical analyses were used in order to compare the growth rate between common snook and fat snook through Studentâs t test, and to assess the significance of age changes between pairs of adjoining months through Kruskal-Wallisâ H test. The drawn results may be summarized as follows: (a) the assumption of a regression of scale length on fish length was met; (b) the âbirth datesâ of common snook and fat snook correspond with April-June and August-October monthly periods; (c) the age and growth parameters for common snook were: L = 101. 1 cm, W = 11.4 kg, K = 0.112, t0 = - 2.59 yr., tmax = 29.3 yr. and fâ = 3.058; (d) the age and growth parameters for fat snook were: L = 67.9, W = 3.6 kg, K = 0.187, t0 = - 2.48 yr., tmax = 18.6 yr. and fâ = 2.936; (e) the fat snook reaches a smaller size but grows quicker than the common snook; (f) the natural mortality coefficient was estimated at M = 0.259 (C. undecimalis) e M = 0.406 (C. parallelus), entailing respective values of M/K = 2.312 and M/K = 2.171, which classify those species into the fourth trophic level; (g) The growth performance indices indicate the adoption of a strategy consistent with that assumed by mean- and large-sized predatory species.

The effect of parasitism on the individual, and on a population, is one of the least understood and poorly studied areas of fish ecology. Parasites compete for maternal energetic reserves required for the production of viable eggs and offspring; thus parasites can directly influence population dynamics by lowering the number of offspring that survive to produce. The goal of this work was to explore the effect of parasitism on the reproductive potential of fish. Traditional measures of somatic energy reserves and body condition were examined along with newer measures of fatty acids present in eggs to approximate reproductive potential. Eighty female common snook, Centropomus undecimalis, were collected during spawning season (mid April to mid October) from four spawning aggregations along the southeastern coast of Florida and examined for a suite of biological, reproductive, and parasite infection measures. General linear models were used to model somatic indices, body condition, fatty acid composition and the ratios of fatty acids in eggs as a function of parasite infection parameters, host age, capture location, capture month and year. All fish were included in the somatic indices and body condition analysis while a subset of 40 fish were used in the analysis on fatty acid composition and the ratios of fatty acids in eggs. / Includes bibliography. / Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2015. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

The resurgence of Texas' snook (Family Centropomidae) recreational fishery is coupled with an uncertainty as to what species occur in State waters, a limited understanding of life history, and habitat needs of its constituents. This study described species composition and early life history aspects of juvenile (< 100 mm SL) centropomids taken in bag seine collections in estuarine and freshwater habitats along the upper, middle, and lower coast of Texas during 2006 to 2010. Centropomus specimens (n = 548) captured from 41 locations across the Texas coast as well as congeners from Mexico (n = 24), Florida (n = 7), and Costa Rica (n = 3) were used in a genetics- and meristic-based determination of species composition, growth rates, range of hatching dates, geographic distribution, and habitat association. Genetic analyses of the mitochondrial DNA 16s ribosomal RNA gene and the mitochondrial control region (D - loop) validated the presence of smallscale fat snook (C. parallelus Poey, 1860, n = 333), common snook (C. undecimalis Bloch 1792, n = 212) and Mexican snook (C. poeyi Chavez, 1961, n = 3) in Texas, with the last of these validations representing the first known record of this species in Texas. AMOVA of 16s and D - loop sequences failed to detect genetic differentiation within Texas for C. parallelus and C. undecimalis. However, AMOVA for 16s and D - loop C. undecimalis sequences did yield significant genetic differences between Texas and Mexico against those from Florida and Costa Rica. Juvenile centropomids (< 100 mm SL) in Texas occupied backwater habitats with dissipated currents similar to those of Florida congeners (tidal sloughs, freshwater habitats, and structured shorelines). Coastal ranges of these species differed with C. parallelus taken from the Rio Grande to West Galveston Bay, whereas C. undecimalis was captured from the Rio Grande northward near Palacios. Three C. poeyi were captured at only two locations (Laguna Vista and Port Aransas). Daily growth rates varied between species and capture years, with these ranging from 0.22 to 0.97 mm d^-1. Analyses of hatch-date distribution suggest centropomids in Texas begin spawning in August and continue it through late September into mid-November.

In an effort to determine the optimal temperature for rearing Centropomus undecimalis larvae during the yolk resorption period, larval development was measured under four different temperature regimes (23, 25, 28 and 31 °C). The eggs were incubated at 28 °C until hatching, which occurred at about 17 hours post-fertilization. After hatching, temperatures were adjusted to the respective treatment levels. Measurements were collected from 25 individual larvae across rearing temperatures at the following pre-determined time intervals: at hatching, 24 hours post hatch (hph), 48 hph, and 72 hph. Morphometric measurements were obtained from photomicrographs, including yolk sac length and height, oil globule diameter, standard length, body height at anal pore, and eye diameter. Larvae in the 25 °C treatment had longer median standard length, body height, and more energy reserves than those larvae reared at other temperatures. The yolk sac and oil-globule were present up to 72 hph at 23 and 25°C, while these were entirely consumed after 48 hph in treatments at 28 and 31 °C. Centropomus undecimalis larvae had the highest growth rates during the first 24 hph, and this period corresponded to the highest energy consumption as determined by the decrease in yolk-sac and oil-globule volume. Survival was assessed during the third trial only. The 31 °C treatment presented the worst survival percentages, with a maximum survival of 37.2% at 24 hph, and 100% mortality at 72 hph. The 25 °C treatment featured higher survival at the end of the trial than the other treatments with 1.7% survival. Eye diameter didn't vary significantly with time and was not a useful parameter for tracking development during yolk resorption. These results led to the conclusion that 25 °C was the optimal temperature to raise snook larvae during the yolk-resorption period.

Eight juveniles of each species were sacrificed for anatomical characterization. Gastrointestinal transit time was evaluated in ten individuals of each species that were kept in cylindrical tanks of 300 L. The fish were fed to apparent satiety once daily with an experimental feed containing 10 g.kg -1 of oxide Of titanium. After 3 days, a second diet was offered with a similar composition but containing 10 g.kg -1 of chromium oxide. Every two hours, the feces were collected by sedimentation. The stomagomatic index was higher in the cobia (1.96 ± 0.53). On the other hand, the intestinal coefficient was higher in the Brazilian mojarra (0.57 ± 0.06). The digestive traits of the different species analyzed presented distinct anatomical and histological characteristics, probably due to their different eating habits. However, these anatomical differences had no effect on gastrointestinal transit time, which did not differ between species and was estimated at 18 h. In the digestibility experiment, six rations were prepared. The fish with 43.27g (± 12.90) and 15.40 cm (± 1.33) of weight and total length were distributed in six cylindrical-fiberglass tanks (300L; 12 fish per tank) in a system Recirculation. The dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), ethereal extract (EE), mineral matter (MM), crude energy (CE) and amino acids (AA) coefficients were estimated. The CDA of the different nutrients of the evaluated ingredients presented values above 62.08%. The CD of the AA reflected the high digestibility of PB. The results show the capacity of the Brazilian mojarra to take advantage of both the animal and vegetable ingredients. / O presente estudo avaliou o tempo de trânsito gastrointestinal, a caracterização anatômica do trato digestivo do beijupirá (Rachycentron canadum), carapeba listrada (Eugerres brasilianus) e robalo-flecha (Centropomus undecimalis) e a digestibilidade aparente de diferentes ingredientes pela carapeba listrada. Oito juvenis de cada espécie foram sacrificados para a caracterização anatômica. O tempo de trânsito gastrointestinal foi avaliado em dez indivíduos de cada espécie que foram mantidos em tanques cilíndricos de 300 L. Os peixes foram alimentados até a saciedade aparente, uma vez por dia, com uma alimentação experimental contendo 10 g.kg-1 de óxido de titânio. Após 3 dias, foi oferecida uma segunda dieta com uma composição similar, mas contendo 10 g.kg-1 de óxido de cromo. A cada duas horas, as fezes foram coletadas por sedimentação. O índice estomagossomático foi maior no beijupirá (1,96 ± 0,53). Por outro lado, o coeficiente intestinal foi maior na carapeba (0,57 ± 0,06). Os traços digestivos das diferentes espécies analisadas apresentaram características anatômicas e histológicas distintas, provavelmente devido a seus diferentes hábitos alimentares. No entanto, essas diferenças anatômicas não tiveram efeito no tempo de trânsito gastrointestinal, que não diferiu entre as espécies e foi estimado em 18 h. No experimento de digestibilidade foram elaboradas seis rações. Os peixes com 43,27g (± 12,90) e 15,40 cm (± 1,33) de peso e comprimento total foram distribuídos em seis tanques cilíndro-cônicos de fibra de vidro (300L; 12 peixes por tanque) em sistema de recirculação. Foram estimados os coeficientes de digestibilidade aparente (CDA) de matéria seca (MS), proteína bruta (PB), extrato etéreo (EE), matéria mineral (MM), energia bruta (EB) e aminoácidos (AA). Os CDA dos diferentes nutrientes dos ingredientes avaliados, apresentaram valores acima de 62,08%. Os CDA dos aminoácidos (AA) refletiram a alta digestibilidade da PB. Os resultados encontrados evidenciam a capacidade da carapeba listrada de aproveitar tanto o ingrediente de origem animal quanto vegetal.

This study aimed to determine centesimal composition, cholesterol content, fatty acid profile, and caloric content of some commonly commercialized fish species from two environments in Alagoas State, Brazil. Samples of 80 fish fillets of four species. carapeba-listrada (Eugerres plumieri Cuvier, 1830) and mackerel (Scomberomorus cavala Cuvier, 1829) from Alagoas coast; and mullet (Mugil cephalus Linnaeus, 1758) and camurim (Centropomus undecimalis Bloch, 1792) from the Mundaú Lagoon Estuary Complex, a marine-estuarine environment, were analyzed. The samples analyzed presented high moisture for camurim and carapeba-listrada. The mackerel and mullet presented the largest protein percent content. The total lipid contents of all samples were similar. As to ash content, the mackerel and camurim presented the largest values. The largest caloric contents were found for mackerel and mullet. In relation to cholesterol contents the mullet and camurim had the eminence. Fatty acid contents, saturated (palmitic acid, pentadecanoic acid, heptadecanoic acid, tetradecanoic acid, dodecanoic acid, and stearic acid), monounsaturated (heptadecenoic acid, oleic acid, and 9-hexadecenoic acid), and polyunsaturated (linoleic acid, α-linolenic acid, arachidonic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, docosapentaenoic acid, and docosaexaenoic acid) were analyzed. Marine mackerel and estuarine mullet are the most indicated fish in nutritional terms due to their content lipid-protein and eicosapentaenoic and docosaexaenoic acid contents. This information will be valuable for later inclusion in the Regional/National Food Composition Table. / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Este estudo teve como objetivo determinar a composição centesimal, o teor de colesterol, o perfil de ácidos graxos e o valor calórico de quatro espécies de peixes em dois habitats (água salgada e estuário) do Estado de Alagoas. Foram analisadas 80 amostras de filés de peixes. As espécies estudadas são as mais comercializadas: carapeba-listrada (Eugerres plumieri Cuvier, 1830) e cavala (Scomberomorus cavalla Cuvier, 1829) da Costa Marítima Alagoana; tainha (Mugil cephalus Linnaeus, 1758) e camurim (Centropomus undecimalis Bloch, 1792) do Complexo Estuarino Lagunar-Lagoa Mundaú-AL. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram elevados teores de umidade no camurim e na carapeba-listrada em base úmida. A cavala e a tainha apresentaram os maiores percentuais de proteína em base úmida. Os teores de lipídeos totais foram iguais em ambas às espécies estudadas. Quanto às cinzas, os maiores valores foram detectados na cavala e no camurim em base úmida. Os maiores valores calóricos foram encontrados na cavala e na tainha. Com relação ao colesterol a tainha e a cavala foram às espécies que demonstraram maiores teores. Em ambas às espécies estudadas destacaram-se os ácidos graxos: palmítico, pentadecanóico, margárico, mirístico, láurico, esteárico, heptadecenóico, oléico, palmitoléico, linoléico, α-linolênico, araquidônico, eicosapentaenóico, docosapentaenóico e o docosaexaenóico. Considerou-se a cavala no habitat marinho e a tainha no habitat estuarino como as espécies saudáveis do ponto de vista nutricional, devido aos teores lipídicoprotéico e de eicosapentaenóico e docosaexaenóico. Estas informações podem servir de subsídio para posterior inclusão destes dados em Tabela de Composição de Alimentos Regionais/Nacionais.
