Zusammenfassung: | The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the citral chemotype of Lippia alba essential oil (EOLA) as an additive in a simulated transport with different loading densities of tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) juveniles. Simulated transport of tambaqui juveniles at three loading densities (30, 60 and 90 fish/L) was carried out either with only water (WC) or 20 [micro]L.[L.sup.-1] EOLA. Dissolved oxygen levels, pH, conductivity and temperature of the water were measured at the beginning and end of the simulated transport. Treatment with EOLA did not change survival or dissolved oxygen levels at the end of simulation. The pH of the water at the end of simulation with EOLA was lower than in that of WC but did not change with loading density. Water conductivity increased with loading density; however, it was lower in the groups with EOLA. The addition of EOLA can be useful in long-term transportation at high loading densities, but further studies related to tambaqui physiology are required. Key word: fish transportation, additive, water quality, Lippia alba, oxygen, conductivity. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a eficacia do oleo essencial de Lippia alba quimiotipo citral (EOLA) como aditivo em transporte simulado com diferentes densidades de carga de juvenis de tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum). O transporte simulado de juvenis de tambaqui em tres densidades de carga (30, 60 e 90peixes /L) foi realizado apenas com agua (WC) ou 20 [micro]L.[L.sup.-1] EOLA. Niveis de oxigenio dissolvido, pH, condutividade e temperatura da agua foram medidos no inicio e no final do transporte simulado. O tratamento com EOLA nao alterou a sobrevivencia ou os niveis de oxigenio dissolvido no final da simulacao. O pH da agua no final da simulacao com o EOLA foi menor que o do WC, mas nao mudou com a densidade de carga. A condutividade da agua aumentou com a densidade de carga, no entanto foi menor nos grupos com EOLA. A adicao de EOLA pode ser util no transporte de longo prazo em altas densidades de carga, mas sao necessarios mais estudos relacionados a fisiologia do tambaqui. Palavras-chave: transporte de peixes, aditivo, qualidade de agua, Lippia alba, oxigenio, condutividade. |
