Prospection of Autochthonous Lactic Acid Bacteria Displaying Probiotic Potential to Enhance Colossoma macropomum Larvae Growth and Immunoprotection Against Aeromonas hydrophila Thayná M. dos Santos, Layana A. B. Pereira, Laine P. C. dos Santos, Andrya L. Lopes, Larissa A. F. Sampaio, Graziella V. G. de Matos Silva, Juliana N. Ferreira, Gleika T. J. Dos Reis, Jonny B. Teixeira, Raimundo J. T. Diniz‐Neto, Laura G. M. de Carvalho, Michelle Midori Sena Fugimura, Luciano Jensen Vaz, Silvia E. Plaul, Gustavo S. Claudiano Journal of Fish Diseases, 2026 This study assessed the functional potential of autochthonous lactic acid bacteria isolated from the gastrointestinal tract of tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) as larviculture probiotics. Five strains were selected and identified as belonging to the genus Weissella. In vitro assays revealed high tolerance to acidic pH (2.0–3.0), resistance to bile salts (10%), biofilm formation capacity, hydrophobicity and direct Aeromonas hydrophila inhibition. In in vivo tests, strains M13 and M14 promoted significant increases in tambaqui survival (72.2% and 68.7%; p < 0.05) and growth (standard length and eye diameter), as well as water quality (nitrite reduction), highlighting multiple beneficial effects. Innate immunity was activated, with total protein level (I3 and M14) and agglutinating titre (M13 and M14) increases. Intestinal colonisation was confirmed by bacterial counts, and the observed effects were consistent with adhesive and antimicrobial strain properties. The findings demonstrate a synergistic interaction between probiotics, hosts and pathogens, with integrated health, performance and environmental stability benefits. Strains M13 and M14 are, thus, promising alternatives to the use of antibiotics in intensive aquaculture systems, contributing to sustainable and safe tropical fish production strategies.
Dietary protein requirement for tambaqui cultivated in biofloc and clear water systems Raphael Brito dos Santos, Judá Izel-Silva, Paulo Adelino de Medeiros, Michelle Midori Sena Fugimura, Thiago Mendes de Freitas, Eduardo Akifumi Ono, Gustavo da Silva Claudiano, Elizabeth Gusmão Affonso Aquaculture International, 2023 This study aimed to compare tambaqui ( Colossoma macropomum ) juvenile (9.20 ± 0.23 27 g) growth performance, digestive enzymes, and body composition when offered different feed crude protein (CP) levels (24, 28, and 32% CP) in biofloc (BFT) vs. clear water (CW) systems over 60 days in a 2 × 3 factorial experimental design. Water quality was also measured throughout the experiment. Decreased nitrite ( P < 0.05) and increased pH, electrical conductivity, nitrate, turbidity, settleable solids, and total suspended solids were observed in the BFT system compared to the CW system ( P < 0.05). Tambaqui in the BFT system presented better feed conversion, final weight, weight gain, productivity, specific growth rate, and protein efficiency rates ( P < 0.05) and 100% survival for all CP treatments and rearing systems. No differences ( P > 0.05) were detected in tambaqui proximal composition and digestive enzymes, except for trypsin, which was higher activity ( P < 0.05) in fish reared in the BFT system. No statistical differences concerning performance indices were noted for CP levels, regardless of the rearing system, although the results suggest better tambaqui adaptive capacity in the BFT system, through better use of the natural food produced in this system. This study indicates that feed containing 24% CP may be offered to tambaqui in both systems, although the BTF was more efficient for rearing tambaqui presenting productivity of 3.09 ± 0.21 kg.m −3 compared to 2.18 ± 0.08 kg.m −3 of the CW system.
Growth performance and health of juvenile tambaqui, Colossoma macropomum, in a biofloc system at different stocking densities Raphael Brito Santos, Judá Izel‐Silva, Michelle Midori Sena Fugimura, Sabrina Medeiros Suita, Eduardo Akifumi Ono, Elizabeth Gusmão Affonso Aquaculture Research, 2021 The present study evaluated the biofloc system (BFT) for rearing of tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) at different densities. Juveniles of 23.74 ± 0.22 g were randomly distributed following a 2 × 3 factorial design to evaluate three stocking densities (50, 100 and 200 fish/m3) in BFT (BFT50, BFT100 and BFT200) and clear water (CW50, CW100 and CW200) and basal (BS30, with 30 fish/m3), in triplicates for 60 days. Water quality variables, zootechnical performance and blood parameters were evaluated. The dissolved oxygen concentration was significantly lower in BFT and inversely related to stocking density, while electric conductivity was higher for BFT. The fish of BFT50 and BFT100 presented the lowest feed conversion ratio, the greatest final weight, weight gain and specific growth rate among treatments. Blood parameters showed no statistical differences among treatments. BFT is efficient for culturing tambaqui, and 100 fish/m3 is the best stocking density for the tested growth stage, despite presenting greater biomass and productivity in the density of 200 fish/m3.
Monoculture and polyculture of shrimp Litopenaeus schmitti and mullet Mugil curema in bioflocs system and clear water Emanuela Paula MELO, Lidia Miyako Yoshii OSHIRO, Michelle Midori Senna FUGIMURA, Tiago Viana da COSTA, Helaine dos Reis FLOR, Nivaldo Faria SANT'ANA Boletim do Instituto De Pesca, 2016 The aim of this study was to evaluate the monoculture and polyculture of white shrimp Litopenaeus schmitti and mullet Mugil curema in bioflocs system and clear water. The experimental design was completely randomized in a factorial arrangement (4x2) with four cultures systems (shrimps and fish) and two culture medium (clear water and bioflocs), with four replications: (M50/0) - monoculture L. schmitti density 50 m- 2; (P50/5) – polyculture L. schmitti and M. curema density 50 m-2 and 5 m2, respectively; (P50/10) – polyculture L. schmitti and M. curema density 50 m-2 and 10 m-2 respectively; (M0/10) - monoculture M. curema density 10 m-2. The polyculture of L. schmitti with mullet affected zootechnical performance of shrimp, however, L. schmitti juveniles showed better performance, for all analyzed indexes, when cultured in the bioflocs. The mullet in monoculture and polyculture with lower stocking density (5m-2) showed better final weight , weight gain and specific growth rate than mullet in polyculture with higher density (10m-2) and better performance when cultured in clear water. The bioflocs contributed significantly to shrimp juvenile growth, however fish did not present the same performance in bioflocs system.
Effect of the sexual proportion on reproductive performance of pink shrimp Farfantepenaeus brasiliensis (Decapoda: Penaeoidea) Helaine dos Reis FLOR, Lidia Miyako Yoshii OSHIRO, Tiago Viana da COSTA, Michelle Midori Sena FUGIMURA, Felipe Nolasco Gomes RODRIGES, Luciana Antunes de MATTOS Boletim do Instituto De Pesca, 2016 Farfantepenaeus brasiliensis is a native species in Brazilian coast. It is one of the most exploited marine resources. In order to contribute to the development of techniques to promote the rearing their cultivation, the objective of this study was to evaluate the pink shrimp reproductive performance in captivity under different sex ratios. Breeders were captured in Sepetiba Bay/Brazil and maintained during 107 days in maturation tanks. One hundred and eight animals were randomly distributed into tanks 18 in the proportions 1:1 and 1:2 (M:F). Females have undergone unilateral ablation and identified by markings on their uropods. The evaluation of the reproductive performance was estimated by the number of spawning, fecundity and hatching rate. It was determined optimal size (32,00 mm CL) and minimum weight (24,00 g LW) for reproduction in females. The better fertility and nauplii hatching indicate that the sex ratio 1:2 is most suitable for this species.
