The main objective of this thesis was to assess food intake by bream, depending on the onset and end of spawning period. To meet the objectives of a practical experiment was carried out. This experiment was run on the dams Hamry and Brno in the years 2008 and 2009. Subsequently it was determined by standard methods. These methods (indirect, food frequency, filling index, index of superiority and gonadosomatic index. Subsequently, an analysis of stomach.

The object of the thesis is to experimentally find the most suitable method of artificial spawning of pikeprech, using hormonal stimulation of ovulation in females hormonal medication containing HCG. After scraping of the broodstock and after artificial fertilization of eggs obtained experimentally test new methods of artificial stickiness removing of eggs and then evaluate the success of artificial incubation of stripped, fertilized and unstickeness eggs of pikeprech. Experiments that are part of the thesis have been divided into several sub-experiments. In the first experiment was observed effect of different doses of hormonal Chorulon, containing the active substance HCG, the basic indicators of reproductive females. Was evaluated as spawning synchronization, spawning success, the number of spontaneous spawnings, fertility of females and hatching rate of eggs. The used HCG doses were 250, 500, 700 and 1000 IU per kilogram of body weight. All eggs were deprived of stickiness using a mixture of talc and milk. In the second experiment was carried out comparing different types of removes stickiness solutions. Here was evaluated especially time and labor intensity and the influence of various solutions on fertilization and hatching rate of eggs. In this trial was all pikeperch females injected the same amount of HCG hormone 500 IU per kilogram of body weight. Tested solutions was a mixture of talc and milk, just eggs wash water and the solution of various concentrations alkalase. The amount alkalase was 0,5; 1; 1,5; 2 and 5 ml, which are mixed with distilled water, so that the total volume of the solution was 1000 ml. The third experiment was supposed to simulate the pilot plant mass propagation of pikeperch females. All females received the same amount of hormone 500 IU of HCG per kilogram of body weight. All eggs were deprived of stickiness using a mixture of talc and milk. In the last experiment was one of the methods tested, which could limit the number of spontaneous spawning during the artificial spawning of pikeperch. To prevent spontaneous spawning were selected females (all were injected with 500 IU of HCG per kilogram of body weight) sewing genitourinary papilla. The incubation of eggs collected during all the experiments were used Zugské bottle.

Resumo: Estudos têm revelado que a planta Aloe vera possui muitas substâncias com propriedades farmacêuticas tais como ação cicatrizante, imuno-estimulante, fungicida entre outras. O uso de seu extrato pode ser eficiente no tratamento de problemas advindos do manejo na piscicultura, como no transporte, onde ocorrem injúrias e quadro de estresse com imunossupressão. O presente trabalho avaliou os efeitos da Aloe vera adicionada na água no transporte de juvenis de matrinxã (Brycon amazonicus) em indicadores hematológicos, metabólico e imunológico. Após 48 horas de jejum, peixes foram transportados em diferentes concentrações de Aloe vera (0%; 0,002%; 0,02% e 0,2%) e amostrados antes do transporte (nível inicial - n=8), às 2 horas de transporte (n=10), após 4 horas (na chegada - n=8), 24 e 96 horas depois do transporte (período de recuperação - n=8). Após o transporte, os peixes foram distribuídos, conforme o tratamento, em quatro caixas de 1.000 litros, com fluxo contínuo de água. No sangue total foram determinados o hematócrito, número e volume de eritrócitos, concentração de hemoglobina e atividade respiratória de leucócitos, e no plasma a concentração de glicose. Os resultados hematológicos não apresentaram padrão consistente. A glicemia aumentou após duas e quatro horas de transporte nos peixes de todos os tratamentos, sem diferença entre eles, e voltou aos valores iniciais (pré-transporte) 24 e 96 horas pós transporte. Na atividade respiratória dos macrófagos houve um aumento em duas horas de transporte nos peixes expostos à Aloe vera. A Aloe vera também aumentou a atividade respiratória dos macrófagos in vitro, provando assim sua ação imunoestimulante. Os resultados indicam que a adição de Aloe vera na água de transporte não afetou as respostas metabólica e hematológicas, mas potenciou a resposta imunológica não específica / Abstract: Aloe vera has many substances with pharmaceutical properties such as wound healer, immunostimulant, fungicide and others. The use of its extract can be effective in the treatment of problems caused by the handling of fish, such as in the transport, when injuries occur, and the stress can reduce immune responses of fish. This study evaluated the effects of Aloe vera added to the water in the transport of juvenile matrinxã (Brycon amazonicus) in hematological, metabolic and immune indicators. After 48 hours of fasting, fish were transported in different concentrations of Aloe vera (0%, 0.002%, 0.02% and 0.2%) and sampled before transport (initial - n = 8) at 2 hours of transport (n = 10), and 4 hours (arrival - n = 8), 24 and 96 hours after the procedure (recovery - n = 8). At arrival, fish were distributed, according to the treatment, in four tanks of 1.000 l, with a continuous water flow. Fish blood was drawn and hematocrit, number and volume of erythrocytes, hemoglobin, respiratory activity of leukocytes, and glucose concentration were determined. The results did not show any consistent pattern in hematological indicators. Plasma glucose concentration increased after 2 and 4 hours of transport in fish of all treatments, without difference among them, and returned to basal amount in 24 and 96 hours after transport. The respiratory activity of macrophages increased within 2 hours of transport in fish exposed to Aloe vera. Aloe vera also increased the respiratory activity of macrophages in vitro, reinforcing its stimulanting effect. The results indicate that the addition of Aloe vera in water transport did not affect the metabolic and hematological indicators, but enhanced the nonspecific immune response tested / Orientador: Elisabeth Criscuolo Urbinati / Coorientador: Sérgio Fonseca Zaiden / Banca: José Augusto Senhorini / Banca: Paulo Sérgio Ceccarelli / Mestre

Para isto, 23 fêmeas foram distribuídas em cinco tratamentos, com indução dividida em duas doses com intervalo de 24 horas: (0,2 mL.kg-1 solução salina) + (0,2 mL.kg-1 solução salina) (T1); (0,2 mL.kg-1 solução salina) + (0,2 mL.kg-1 solução salina e 2 ml PGF2α) (T2); (0,6 mg.kg-1 EBHC (extrato bruto de hipófise de carpa)) + (0,2 mL.kg-1 solução salina e 2 mL PGF2α) (T3); (0,6 mg.kg-1 EBHC) + (5,4 mg.kg-1 EBHC) (T4); (0,6 mg.kg-1 EBHC) + (5,4 mg.kg-1 EBHC e 2 mL PGF2α) (T5). Foram coletadas amostras de sangue e ovócitos para análise dos níveis plasmáticos de PGF2α, DHP, E2 e T e avaliação dos tipos de ovócitos em quatro períodos após a segunda dose. O uso de PGF2α exógena provocou um pico plasmático de PGF2α uma hora após a segunda dose hormonal. A hipofisação, com ou sem o uso de PGF2α exógena, provocou pico plasmático de PGF2α no momento da desova. O uso de PGF2α exógena juntamente hipofisação (T5) eleva a taxa de ovulação de pacu em relação a fêmeas apenas hipofisadas (T4), provavelmente em função de níveis de GVBD e de PGF2α superiores de T5, quatro horas após a segunda dose hormonal. / The main objective of this study was to determine the plasma concentrations of 17α, 20β-dihydroxy-4-pregnen-3-one (DHP), 17β-Estradiol (E2), Testosterone (T) and Prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) and the different types of oocytes present in the ovaries throughout the pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus) hypophysation process with or without the use of exogenous PGF2α. To that, 23 females were distributed in five treatments, with induction divided into two doses with a 24-hour interval: (0.2 mL.kg-1 saline) + (0.2 mL.kg-1 saline) (T1); (0.2 mL.kg-1 saline) + (0.2 mL.kg-1 saline and 2 mL PGF2α) (T2); (0.6 mg.kg-1 CPE (crude pituitary extract)) + (0.2 mL.kg-1 saline and 2 mL PGF2α) (T3); (0.6 mg.kg-1 CPE) + (5.4 mg.kg-1 CPE) (T4); (0.6 mg.kg-1 CPE) + (5.4 mg.kg-1 CPE and 2 ml PGF2α) (T5). Blood and oocyte samples were collected for analysis of plasma levels of PGF2α, DHP, E2 and T in four periods after the second dose. The use of exogenous PGF2α caused a plasma peak of PGF2α one hour after the second hormonal dose. Hypophysation, with or without the use of exogenous PGF2α, caused a plasma peak of PGF2α at the time of spawning. The use of exogenous PGF2α together with hypophysation (T5) increased the pacu ovulation rate in relation to hypophysation only (T4), probably as a result of higher GVBD and PGF2α levels of T5, four hours after the second hormonal dose. / FAPESP: 16/20741-3

The abundance and size-class frequency distribution, growth, longevity and sex ratio were evaluated from monthly samples obtained in the northern littoral of São Paulo state from Jan/1998 to Jun/2003. We measured 5,812 individuals in which the sex ratio was skewed toward females; this was more evident in size classes greater than 10 mm in CL (carapace length) (binomial test, p<0.05). We selected 16 growth cohorts of females, and 8 of males, the majority consisting of younger individual cohorts excluded from the fisheries closure period. Growth estimates resulted in a CL∞ of 17.42 mm, a growth coefficient of 0.008 and a longevity of 579 days (1.60 year) for females, as well as a CL∞ of 16.3 mm, a growth coefficient of 0.01 and a longevity of 425 days (1.17 year) for males. Our results provide information of incontestable relevance to our knowledge of fishing management. We therefore strongly recommend that the fisheries closure period be changed to protect this species’ recruitment period and consequently its adult individuals. The reproduction and recruitment were analyzed in order to determine the size at the onset of sexual maturity, the reproductive and recruitment patterns and the copulation period. In our study, 6,456 shrimps were captured among which 5,774 were measured, which 4,322 were females and 1,452 were males. The estimated maturity was 8.3 mm and 11.2 mm, for males and females, respectively. Reproductive females were found over the 5-year study. These results suggests a continuous reproduction pattern, with peaks in summer and in spring. We verified a positive significant relation between reproductive females and temperature (lag +1 and +3), although the decrease in bottom water temperature in some peaks of reproductive activity (spawning), which was probably induced due to SACW intrusion. The recruitment was considered episodic and even though no significant relation was found between immatures and reproductive females, we suggested that the main recruitment peaks observed were a consequence of the major reproductive activities a few months prior to it. The copulation period was continuous in the sampled period, and ISP females (recently copulated) were significant correlated with reproductive males (lag 0). Thus, we propose that during this period the sexual proportion is 1:1, probably due to the migration of reproductive males, attracted to copulate. Our results provide information of incontestable relevance to our wide knowledge of the species’ reproductive biology, in order to support an accurate fishing management. / FAPESP: 2015/13639-5

The eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis Linnaeus, 1758) is considered as very perspective species for breeding at intensive aquaculture, where was successful domesticated. Consumption of eurasian perch is increased at present. The greatest grow of consumption is mainly in countries of alpine region and in Scandinavian countries. The aim of experiment was monitor and character spawning of domesticated eurasian perch in controlled conditions of breed. It was determinated fertility and then fertilization of eggs. The next aim was make incubation of fertilization eggs and determinate hatching. After hatch was determinated total length of larvae and its quality by the help of osmotic shock. Domesticated eurasian perch is spawned without problems in controlled conditions of breed. The resulting data of domesticated perch are worse than date of non-domesticated perch in some spawning characteristic. This problem will resolve with gaining knowledge about spawning of eurasian perch. The greatest problem is hatching of eggs, which is very low during spawning of domesticated perch.

The main subject of this experiment was to explain the behaving of the minnow during its reproduction, the preferation of the spawning substratum, the length of the incubation of eggs, the evolution and the growth of the juvenile and the fry. Brood fish were taken by elektrical unit in the Blanice river, in the area between the railway bridge and the weir in the village of Blanice. These were put into the experimental pond of 75 square metres. There were two spawning processes. The first took place on 10 June , the fry hatched after ten days and in the next ten days it could be found all over the pond looking for food. In the selection of the substratum the gravel (of the size of 2-5cm) was prefered at all. The standard length of the fry at the end of the process of breeding (after a hundred days) was 39{--}48 mm (the amount of 800 individuals). The second spawn took place on 11 August. The fry hatched after eight days and the next week it was hidding in the substratum and consuming yolk sack. The standard length at the end of the breeding was 18{--}26mm. The ammount of the breeded fry was 350 individuals.

The main objective of the diploma thesis was defined as the consideration of the hypothesis that food intake structure of adult roach changes significantly during the spawning period. The practical experiment was conducted to reach the defined aim. The experiment was performed on the Brno and Hamry Reservoirs in 2008 and 2009. The acquired data were analysed by standard tools used for gut contents analyses (Indirect Method, Frequency of Occurrence, Index of Fullness, Index of Preponderance) related to the Gonadosomatic Index.

Stable isotope analysis is an emerging tool to examine trophic pathways and migratory patterns of marine organisms. Squid are widely distributed in coastal and deep water regions of the Gulf of Mexico. Stable isotope ratios of carbon and nitrogen found within cephalopod tissues can provide information on both trophic level and habitat of their food sources. More recently, ontogenetic changes in stable isotope ratios within squid eye lenses have been documented. Concentric layers of crystallin proteins are added to the lens as the squid ages; the center of the lens contains the oldest layer and the youngest layers are on the outermost surface. The crystallin proteins are rich in carbon and nitrogen, providing suitable sources for isotopic analysis of both δ15N and δ13C. Doryteuthis plei is a common inshore squid in coastal waters of the western Atlantic region. This study identifies the geographic movements of D. plei in the eastern Gulf of Mexico using changes in isotope ratios in eye-lens layers. Isotopic analyses suggest that these squid begin their lives in the deep chlorophyll maximum of the outer shelf and move inshore as they age.
