Estágio supervisionado em carcinicultura de água doce

Abstract

The freshwater prawns farming is one of the areas of aquaculture that has most developed in recent years in Brazil and worldwide. But some limiting factors such as the lack of incentives and the lack of qualified professionals who may be supporting the producers ends up discouraging domestic production and thus failing to take advantage of the huge potential aquaculture within the country. This paper aims to describe the activities developed during the mandatory internship period at Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP) in the city of Jaboticabal-SP, the prawns farming sector of CAUNESP, which focused primarily on the larviculture of two species of freshwater prawns, the Macrobrachium rosenbergii and Macrobrachium amazonicum. These activities were as to improve hatchery techniques for both species, aiming at a high survival rate. The internship was carried out from January 14 to March 10, 2016, which were carried out routine practical activities or not, always according to sector demand, which were accompanied by the supervisor and the staff and the team masters and doctoral students in the sector. The activities ranged from routine managements as the sector's maintenance, supply, calibration of the water quality parameters in nurseries until fish removal, biometry, monitoring experiments and larviculture. With this meeting the hourly charge proposed by the Federal University of Pampa.
