Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the sperm characteristics of pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus) maintained in biofloc technology (BFT) in comparison partial water renewal system (PWR). Twenty-five males in two production systems were used: 12 in BFT and 13 in PWR. The fish were induced to reproduce in two moments: before the distribution in the experimental units of both systems; and after maintenance of the breeders for 42 days in the systems. After 42 days, only 23 % of PWR fish released semen, compared to 75 % of those kept in BFT. This improvement in the reproduction of pacu broodstock kept in BFT can be corroborated by the higher (P < 0.05) gonadosomatic index of broodstock kept in BFT (0.387) compared to those kept in PWR (0.135), and also due to more advanced germ cell stages (spermatocytes, spermatids, spermatozoa) in broodstock testes maintained in BFT at 42 days. Despite a decrease in sperm concentration in BFT from the first to the second collection, the total number of spermatozoa did not differ significantly. Plasma membrane integrity associated with mitochondrial potential was worse for broodstock kept in PWR compared to those kept in BFT. The total amount of spermatozoa produced per liter of water used in BFT was 46,406, surpassing 304 of PWR's system. Maintaining pacu breeders in BFT for 42 days is more efficient for induced reproduction in situations of successive semen collections compared to the PWR system, with improved water optimization.
期刊介绍:
Animal Reproduction Science publishes results from studies relating to reproduction and fertility in animals. This includes both fundamental research and applied studies, including management practices that increase our understanding of the biology and manipulation of reproduction. Manuscripts should go into depth in the mechanisms involved in the research reported, rather than a give a mere description of findings. The focus is on animals that are useful to humans including food- and fibre-producing; companion/recreational; captive; and endangered species including zoo animals, but excluding laboratory animals unless the results of the study provide new information that impacts the basic understanding of the biology or manipulation of reproduction.
The journal''s scope includes the study of reproductive physiology and endocrinology, reproductive cycles, natural and artificial control of reproduction, preservation and use of gametes and embryos, pregnancy and parturition, infertility and sterility, diagnostic and therapeutic techniques.
The Editorial Board of Animal Reproduction Science has decided not to publish papers in which there is an exclusive examination of the in vitro development of oocytes and embryos; however, there will be consideration of papers that include in vitro studies where the source of the oocytes and/or development of the embryos beyond the blastocyst stage is part of the experimental design.
