Citral as food additive for common snook - zootechnical parameters and digestiv...
Michelotti,Bruna Tomazetti; Mori,Natacha Cossettin; Magnotti,Caio Cesar Franca; Heinzmann,Berta Maria; Almeida,Ana Paula GottliebABSTRACT: Essential oils of plants whose main compound is citral showed beneficial effects when added to fish feed. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the dietary effect of the addition of citral on zootechnical parameters and digestive enzyme activities of Centropomus undecimalis. Juveniles were fed for 45 days with diets containing different amounts of citral (0.0 - control, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 ...
Stress-reducing and anesthetic effects of the essential oils of Aloysia triphyl...
Almeida,Ana Paula Gottlieb; Correia,Tiago Gabriel; Heinzmann,Berta Maria; Val,Adalberto Luis; Baldisserotto,BernardoABSTRACT Anesthetic effect of Aloysia triphylla and Lippia alba essential oils (EOs) in the Amazonian fish Serrasalmus eigenmanni was evaluated. The fish were placed in aquaria containing A. triphylla or L. alba EOs (25 to 200 µL L-1). Then, fish were transferred to aquaria containing EO-free water to evaluate their recovery time. In another experiment, fish were transferred to aquaria containing A. triphylla o...

Almeida,Ana Paula Gottlieb; Zardo,Everton Luis; Toni,Candida; Behr,Everton Rodolfo; Silva,Leila Picolli da; Vieira,João Paes; Loro,Vania LúciaABSTRACT The aim of this study was to determine the composition of gastrointestinal content and protease and lipase activities in summer and winter as well as to evaluate the relationship between digestive enzyme activity and centesimal composition of gastrointestinal content and feeding habits of two omnivorous species, Rhamdia quelen (Quoy & Gaimard, 1824) and Pimelodus maculatus (LaCèpede, 1803), and of two ...
Gill rakers in six teleost species: influence of feeding habit and body size
Almeida,Ana Paula Gottlieb; Behr,Everton Rodolfo; Baldisserotto,BernardoThis study analyzed the structure of the gill rakers of Parapimelodus valenciennis and Parapimelodus nigribarbis (planktivorous), Serrasalmus maculatus and Hoplias malabaricus (piscivorous), Iheringichthys labrosus (benthophagous) and Hypostomus commersonii (detritivorous) and related it with the body size and feeding habits of these species. The species of Parapimelodus and H. commersonii showed long, filiform...
Preference behavior of silver catfish, Rhamdia quelen, juveniles in waters with...
Golombieski,Jaqueline Ineu; Becker,Alessandra Janaína; Almeida,Caroline Bruzza; Almeida,Ana Paula Gottlieb; Baldisserotto,BernardoThe aim of this study was to determine the preferred pH in silver catfish Rhamdia quelenjuveniles acclimated to different water hardness and the effect of shelters and infection by Ichthyophthirius multifiliis. Fish were acclimated for two weeks at different water hardness levels (4, 24, 50, or 100 mg CaCO3 L-1) and then transferred to a polyethylene tube with a pH gradient ranging from 3.5 to 11.7 and maintain...
