Essential oil of Lippia alba in the transport of Nile tilapia
This study aimed to examine the action of the essential oil of Lippia alba (EOLA) in the stress response for transport of Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus . The fish were transported into three treatments (in triplicate): control, 10 and 20 µL L-1 EOLA, with loading density of 15 fish/plastic bags...

Zusammenfassung: | This study aimed to examine the action of the essential oil of Lippia alba (EOLA) in the stress response for transport of Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus . The fish were transported into three treatments (in triplicate): control, 10 and 20 µL L-1 EOLA, with loading density of 15 fish/plastic bags for 8h. Plasma glucose levels were significantly decreased in fish exposed to 20µL L-1 EOLA in comparison with the control group and fish exposed to 10µL L-1 EOLA, but the plasma cortisol, lactate and paraoxonase levels were similar. Un-ionized ammonia and ventilatory rate demonstrated a significant reduction in the treatments with the use of EOLA. In conclusion the use of 20µL L-1 EOLA is indicated for Nile tilapia transport.
RESUMO: O estudo objetivou verificar a ação do óleo essencial de Lippia alba (EOLA) na resposta de estresse para o transporte de tilápia-do-Nilo Oreochromis niloticus . Os peixes foram transportados por 8h sob três tratamentos (triplicata): controle, 10 e 20µL L-1 EOLA. Níveis plasmáticos de glicose foram significativamente menores em peixes expostos a 20µL L-1 de EOLA, em relação com o grupo controle e os peixes expostos a 10µL L-1 de EOLA, mas, cortisol, lactato e paraoxonase plasmáticos foram similares. Amônia não-ionizada e taxa de ventilação demonstraram redução significativa nos tratamentos com EOLA. Conclui-se que o uso de 20µL L-1 de EOLA é indicado para o transporte de tilápia-do-Nilo. |
