The matrinxã, Brycon cephalus, native specie from the Amazonian Basin, shows good characteristics for farming. It is a migrating fish, being necessary an appropriate handling to induce its spawning. The objective of this work was to characterize the profile of plasma triiodotironina (T3) in matrinxã, during 16 months (October/97 to January/99), associated to the sexual maturation, besides testing T3 action associated to the carp pituitary extract in the induced reproduction. The experiment was carried out at the National Center of […]
