Resposta ao estresse em diferentes famílias de tilápia-do-Nilo

Abstract

A atividade de produção intensiva de tilápia emprega métodos e procedimentos que inevitavelmente causam algum nível de estresse aos animais. Um melhor desempenho produtivo pode ser obtido por meio do desenvolvimento de variedades com genética mais adaptada aos sistemas de produção. Atualmente, há estudos que investigam a influência do fator genético da resposta ao estresse para algumas espécies de peixes, porém não para a tilápia-do-Nilo. O presente estudo teve como objetivo verificar se há diferença do nível de resposta ao estresse entre famílias de tilápia e avaliar, por meio da análise de parâmetros genéticos, a viabilidade da utilização desta característica em um programa de melhoramento genético. Para isto, foram gerados peixes de 8 famílias com pedigree que, ao atingirem o tamanho aproximado de 15 g, foram identificados com microchip e distribuídos na proporção de 8 peixes de cada família em 6 tanques retangulares. Trinta dias após o término da avaliação do desempenho produtivo, foi aplicada a exposição aérea para posterior avaliação dos parâmetros fisiológicos. As famílias apresentaram diferentes taxas de crescimento e diferença significativa de parâmetros de resposta ao estresse. As herdabilidades dos níveis de glicose e cortisol ficaram em 0,160 e 0,220 respectivamente. Concluindo, a diferença das médias dos valores de cortisol, glicose, lactato e hemoglobina entre as famílias, bem como os valores moderados de herdabilidade obtidos para os níveis de cortisol e glicose demonstram o grande potencial destes parâmetros de serem utilizados para exercer pressão de seleção no desenvolvimento de variedades de tilápia-do-Nilo menos sensíveis ao estresse.

The intensive tilapia production activity employs methods and procedures that inevitably cause some level of stress to the animals. A better productive performance can be obtained through the development of varieties with genetics more adapted to production systems. Currently, there are studies investigating the influence of the stress response genetic factor for some fish species, but not for Nile tilapia. This study aimed to verify whether there is a difference in the stress response level among Nile tilapia families and to evaluate, through the analysis of genetic parameters, the feasibility of using this trait in a breeding program. For this, 8 families with pedigrees were generated which, when they reached the approximate size of 15 g, were identified with a microchip and distributed in the proportion of 8 fish of each family in 6 rectangular tanks. Thirty days after the end of the productive performance evaluation, they were submitted to aerial exposure for further evaluation of the physiological parameters. Families showed different growth rates and significant difference in stress response parameters. Heritability of glucose and cortisol levels was 0.160 and 0.220, respectively. In conclusion, the difference in mean cortisol, glucose, lactate and hemoglobin values between families, as well as the moderate heritability values obtained for cortisol and glucose levels demonstrate the great potential of these parameters to be used to exert selection pressure on the development of Nile tilapia varieties less sensitive to stress.
