ABSTRACT

We evaluated the growth and diet composition of hybrid surubim larvae (Pseudoplatystoma corruscans x P. reticulatum) produced in two fish farming by using different systems of feeding with natural plankton: M I, larvae are transferred to fertilized fish pond for being freely fed with natural plankton; M II, larvae are remained inside laboratory in glass fiber boxes and plankton are gathered with a plankton net and offered in a controlled way. It was collected 10 individuals daily during the feeding period with live plankton for 20 days. After the biometry, stomachs were opened and the food items identified and quantified by the volumetric method. The items were represented by algae, protozoa, microcrustacean, insect larvae and surubim fragments (cannibalism). The items with higher volumetric percentage were Chironomidae larvae (29.25%) followed by surubim fragments (19.68%) in M I, and surubim fragments (21.85%) and Moina micrura (19.97%) in MII. The items Chydorus sp., Diaphanosoma sp., sp. Macrothrix and Ephemeroptera larvae were found only in fish of M I, while algae Ulothrix sp., Oscillatoria sp. and the protozoa Difflugia sp were only found in stomachs of surubim from M II. Regarding the growth, the surubim had grown faster in M I.


Este trabalho avaliou o crescimento e a composição da dieta de larvas do surubim híbrido (Pseudoplatystoma corruscans x P. reticulatum) produzidas em duas pisciculturas que utilizam sistemas diferentes de alimentação com plâncton natural: M I, as larvas são transferidas para viveiros previamente fertilizados para se alimentarem livremente com plâncton natural e M II, as larvas permanecem no laboratório em caixas de fibra de vidro e o plâncton são coletados com rede e oferecidos de forma controlada. Foram coletados dez exemplares por dia durante 20 dias. Após a biometria e a retirada dos estômagos, os itens alimentares foram identificados e quantificados por meio do método volumétrico. Os itens com maiores percentuais volumétricos foram larvas de Chironomidae (29,25%) seguido de restos de surubim (19,68%) em M I e restos de surubim (21,85%) e Moina micrura (19,97%) em M II. Os itens Chidorus sp., Diaphanosoma sp., Macrotrix SP. e larvas de Ephemeroptera foram encontrados apenas nos estômagos dos surubins do M I, enquanto as algas Ulothrix sp., Oscillatoria sp., assim como o protozoário do gênero Diflugia , foram observados apenas nos estômagos dos surubins do M II. Em relação ao crescimento, os surubins do M I apresentaram crescimento mais rápido do que em M II.
