The objective of this research was to characterize the effluents of fish ponds of Macrobrachium amazonicum cultured in different densities of farming and to analyze the daily variation (24 hours) of the vertical temperature and oxygen saturation profile of the water column of the ponds. The study was conducted during a period of three months using 12 rectangular 100 m2 earthen ponds supplied with M. amazonicum individuals in four densities of farming (40, 60, 80 and 100 individuals/m2), each one […]

The efficiency of systems composed of two species of floating aquatic macrophyte (Eichhornia crassipes and Pistia stratiotes) to treat effluents from shrimp culture was evaluated in this research. The effluent originated from a pond populated with Macrobrachium amazonicum. Treatment systems consisted of 12 experimental tanks with aquatic macrophyte and three tanks without plants (control). Water samples were collected from the fresh water supply and before and after passing through the treatment systems. There are no differences in the removal of […]

The aim of this work was to determine the centesimal composition and fatty acids profile of freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium amazonicum) for determination of its nutrient potential. Six lots (each one with 100 g) containing whole prawns with individual mass ranging from 0.9 to 1.2 g were triturated and stored for posterior chemical analysis. The average values for moisture, ash, CP and total lipids were as follows: 70.3, 1.5, 24.8, and 1.5%, respectively. It was detected 36 varieties of fatty acids, […]
