Morphometrics, fillet yield and fillet composition in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, strains thai chitralada, Brazil local and their hybrid / Características morfométricas, rendimento e composição do filé de tilápia do Nilo, Oreochromis niloticus, da linhagem tailandesa, local e do cruzamento de ambas

ABSTRACT

Morphometrics, fillet yield and fillet composition differences were researched in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, strain thai-chitralada (Tai), Brazil (Local) Northern Paraná and their hybrid (Hbr, male Thailand x Brazilians female ). The experiment was designed entirely randomly with three treatments (strains) and three repetitions per treatment in hapa nets in ponds. The initial weights were 0.39 ± 0.20, 0.45 ± 0.22 and 0.41 ± 0.15 g for the strains Tai, Bras and Hbr, respectively. At the end of the experiment, the weights were 650.67, 534.25 and 360.00 g for the same previous sequence, with statistically significant differences between groups (P 0.05). Four morphometric proportions were established to characterise each group. For the ratio (head height)/(head length), the Tai strain was largest (P 0.05) as compared to the two other strains. The other morphometric proportions were not different (P > 0.05). The strain Hbr produced (P 0.05) greater fillet yield (39.05%) when compared to Local (38.00 %) and Tai (36.51 %), the latter two were not different from each other (P > 0.05). Considering fillet composition, Local strain had the least crude lipid content of (1.88 %), as compared to Hbr (2.44 %) and Tai (2.96 %) which were significantly different (P 0.05).

RESUMO

As características morfométricas, rendimento e a composição do filé foram pesquisadas em tilápia do Nilo Oreochromis niloticus, das linhagens tailandesa chitralada (Tai), local (Local, Norte do Paraná, Brasil), e da proveniente do cruzamento de ambas (Hbr, macho tailandesa x fêmea local). Ao início do experimento os peixes (n 900) apresentavam peso de 0,39 ± 0,20; 0,41 ± 0,22 e 0,45 ± 0,15 g e ao final 650,67; 534,25 e 360,00 g para as variedades Tai, Local e Hbr, respectivamente. Foram estabelecidas quatro razões morfométricas, sendo que a razão entre a altura da cabeça/ comprimento da cabeça da variedade Tai foi maior (P 0,05). A composição centesimal do filé da linhagem Local apresentou menor teor de lipídeos (1,88%) (P 0,05) quando comparada à Hbr (2,44%) e Tai (2,96%), que também diferiram entre si, com menor teor de lipídeos para a Hbr (P 0,05). O teor em proteína bruta, cinzas e umidade do filé não apresentaram diferenças significativas (P > 0,05) entre as variedades.
