Relatório de estágio efectuado no Centro de Pesquisa em Aquacultura - CEPAQ: caso de estudo - acompanhamento do ciclo de produção de alevinos da Tilápia do Nilo (Oreochromis niloticus), no Centro de Pesquisa em Aquacultura - CEPAQ

Abstract

Nile tilapia is a widely farmed species in Mozambique and in many other countries due to its fast growth and hardiness. This study aimed to follow the entire fry production process of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in a semi-intensive system, from reproduction (egg collection) to the transfer of fry for grow-out or sale. During the study, direct practices related to broodstock selection, egg collection, egg incubation, feeding, sex reversal, and water quality control were observed. Data were collected in a quantitative manner, considering the parameters observed in the field and the results obtained at each stage of production. Throughout the study, it was evident that good management and daily monitoring of the fry make a significant difference in their quality and survival. This work contributes to the practical improvement of freshwater fish farming and promotes the sustainable development of aquaculture
