The present study evaluated stress indicators in pacu exposed to ammonia in water under the following conditions: without NH4Cl (0.00 g/L); with 0.0078 g NH4Cl/L; and with 0.078 g NH4Cl/L (pH 8.3 and 27 ºC). After the salt dilution the water flow was interrupted and reestablished in 24 hours. Sampling occurred prior to the addition of NH4Cl (control) and after 12, 24 and 48 hours. Glycaemia increased only in fish with the highest salt concentration when compared with group control, […]

The objective of this study was to evaluate the enzymatic activity of trypsin in the intestinal content of the Thai tilapia male submitted to four different water temperatures. Fingerlings with 0.835 ± 0.004 g initial body weight were distributed in fishbowls with temperatures of 20, 24, 28 and 32ºC. They were fed the same diet and maintained under these conditions until the 55th day of the experiment. The tilapias were removed from the fishbowls and immediately placed on ice for […]
