Acompanhamento da produção de espécies de peixes e camarões ornamentais em sistema com recirculação de água

Abstract

In the period from November 30, 2020 to February 18, 2021 was carried out the supervised internship in the fish farm Tanganyika located in Aquiraz - Ceará. Three species of ornamental aquatic organisms were monitored, regarding the production process in an intensive system with recirculating water, namely, swordfish (Xiphophorus hellerii) in the albino variety Kohaku, Corydora fish (Corydoras aeneus) in the albino variety, and dwarf shrimp (Neocaridina davidi) in the varieties red sakura; orange sakura; black sakura; red rilli; orange rilli; yellow, blue dream and; green jade. The activities performed on the farm involving reproductive, feeding, and sanitary management, as well as monthly separation into lots by size, color, destination for sale, among others, were very specific for each species, revealing differentiated work and knowledge on the part of those who practiced them. Aquarium and/or tank preparation activities were also followed, both for the accommodation of adult fish and shrimp (breeders and reproducers) in reproductive intervals, as well as for eggs, larvae, post-larvae, and growth of these animals. Internships carried out in aquaculture farms (for meat or ornamental) are of great benefit to the learning and experience of students in the area of Agricultural Sciences, providing the market with a highly qualified professional, both academically and practically.
