Estágio supervisionado em melhoramento genético de peixes

Abstract

Brazil has a huge potential for the development of the aquaculture sector because of natural conditions such as weather and water in large quantities, thus encouraging the growth of Brazilian aquaculture. To contribute to this growth the breeding of fish programs become an alternative, the Tilápia do Nilo is the first species to benefit from these programs. This work has the objective to describe the activities that were developed during the supervised internship at the Universidade Estadual de Maringá (UEM), in fish farming area with emphasis on breeding fish. The training lasted two months, from January 11 to February 26, 2016, where certain practical activities were carried out according to the local daily needs, guided and supervised by teachers and coordinators in charge of EMU. The breeding program conducted at the university aims to increase weight gain, standard size for all fish species Oreochromis niloticus, known as Tilápia do Nilo. Among the activities that have been developed are feeding the animals, the measurement of water parameters, selection of replacement players, hapas cleaning and equipment, mortality monitoring and breeding practices. In addition to activities within the breeding program were also carried out complementary activities of teaching with group studies and practices in Aquariofilia laboratory, and Biomolecular Laboratory where genetic analyzes were accompanied and collect of biological material. During the stage I have the opportunity to apply the knowledge acquired in the classroom enhancing my learning and personal growth through interpersonal relationships and the experiences lived.
