Níveis elevados de agressividade estão diretamente relacionados ao crescimento heterogêneo e ao canibalismo, podendo levar a perdas significativas na produção no setor da aquicultura. Uma alternativa para redução da agressividade poderia ser o aumento da produção de serotonina por meio da suplementação dietética com o aminoácido triptofano (TRP). A serotonina é um neurotransmissor que regula diversos processos comportamentais, dentre eles, a agressividade e o estresse. Assim, neste estudo avaliamos o efeito da suplementação dietética com triptofano TRP no comportamento agressivo em juvenis de tilápia-do-Nilo. Os peixes foram mantidos em aquários individuais durante sete dias e alimentados uma vez ao dia “ad libitum” com as dietas: T1(controle: 0,32% de TRP), T2 (1,28% de TRP) e T3 (2,56% de TRP). O índice de agressividade foi avaliado com base na resposta do peixe à sua imagem no espelho. Contabilizamos o número de ataques (mordidas) à imagem de um espelho posicionado em uma das laterais do aquário durante vinte minutos. Os peixes alimentados com T3 apresentaram menor frequência de mordidas (P = 0,010849) durante o período de observação, em comparação ao grupo controle. Concluímos que a dieta contendo 25,6mg/g TRP altera a agressividade em juvenis de tilápia-do-Nilo e que a rações suplementadas com TRP podem ser uma estratégia eficiente no manejo de pisciculturas. Também avaliamos os efeitos do TRP exógeno na ansiedade (teste do objeto novo) e estresse (teste do confinamento) em juvenis da tilápia-do-Nilo, porém não houve diferenças significativas entre os tratamentos

Among the sexual hormones the estrogens are receiving major attention due to their biological activity. Such biological response is atributed to the best conformation recognized by their receptors, resulting in maximum responses. The estrogens are also considered responsible for most of disruptor´s effects caused by their presence in aquatic ecosystems. The 17β-estradiol hormone is produced by vertebrates during the reproductive phase of their lives and its presence has been detected in superficial waters. The objective of this study was to evaluate the cause-effect of tilapia exposition to the hormone 17β-estradiol through the analysis of biotransformation enzymes in liver and gills, complemented with the quantification of 17β-estradiol and estrone in water samples collected from fish ponds integrated to swine production. The present study was conducted under laboratory conditions, in a randomized experimental design with three levels of 17β-estradiol (E2) (0, 5, 15 µg L-1), with three replicates. After 7 days of exposure time, liver and gills were extracted to analyze three isoforms of cytochrome P450: EROD, BROD, PROD and the activity of Glutathione S-Transferase (GST). The results showed that the EROD activity (CYP1A), normally induced by the metabolism of aromatic compounds, did not present statistical differences among the treatments exposed to E2, what means that the hormone did not induce isoform 1A in fish under these particular experimental conditions. PROD activity was significantly altered in both concentrations, by means of 5 and 15 µg L-1, when compared to control. This result can indicate an important role of PROD on the metabolism of E2 present in water. Regarding to the BROD activity, it could be observed differences statistically significant between control and both groups of treatments. Two or more CYP isoforms can contribute to the metabolism of the same compound, what makes BROD a candidate as a next bioindicator of the exposure to E2 in aquatic ecosystems. Analysis of variance could confirm the effect of E2 statistically significant on the GST activity in liver tissues with >90% of significance (Prob>F = 0.0753). Furthermore, it was possible to observe that the values of GSTs activities in liver and gills in both, control and treatments, follow a tendency, that means, enzymatic activity in gills increase as the increasing of the activity in the liver tissues. In this study, the 17β–estradiol was found in measurable concentrations in three sampled points, and these values were similar to the findings of other authors at different locations in Brazil. In addition, those values are much higher than the minimum concentration that presented observable effects (10 ng L-1).

In Mozambique, the portuguese language is considered the official language, second language, national language and competes with more than twenty Bantu languages spoken by the majority of population. The standard norm lose away their floor to the Mozambican Portuguese which carries own characteristics pertaining to the sociolinguistic context of the country. Schools attempt their best, but they cannot teach the European standard due the multilingual and Portuguese contact with African languages, a fact that is reflected in the media and in the literature through their oral and written forms. These difficulties result in high rates of failures due to problems encountered in using the European standard by teachers and writers who prepare the school books. This research suggests the standardization of the Mozambican variant as well as the preparation of dictionaries and grammars illustrating the sociolinguistic reality of Mozambique in order to improve the quality of education. It also emphasizes the need for a self-esteem spirit on Mozambicans in general as a conduit to eliminate the soaring bias that Mozambicans can not speak portuguese language

This study aimed to evaluate possible histopathological liver of tilapia fed diets containing fish silage and level protein. Sample of 180 fed with tilapia fingerlings fed with diets containing three protein levels (20, 24 and 28% CP), and Proportions residue fermented silage of tilapia (1/4 and 1/2) of were analyzed during 75 days. The tissue fragments were fixed in Bouin and included in Histosec (R). After that, between 2 to 5 mu m slices were done in a rotation microtome. The methods used for tissue analysis were hematoxilin/eosin and PAS. The histological slices were examined under light microscope (Olympus BX-50). The disarray in the morphology of the liver of fish fed biological silage was influenced by high protein levels, and increased proportions of 1/2 of animal protein diets. It was observed that the variation of hepatocytes is directly related to the type of diet for fish. In fish fed diets containing 28% CP, the liver showed disruption of the structure cordon of hepatocytes, necrosis and shifting points of the core to the periphery. Elevated levels of biological fish silage cause deleterious changes in the liver. The level of protein required to maintain the health of the associated development fish is 24% crude protein.
