Inclusão de farinha de resíduos da indústria de filetagem de tilápias na alimentação de girinos de rã-touro (Rana Catesbeiana Shaw,1802)

The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the inclusion of meal of tilapia industrial waster in bullfrog tadpoles' diets (Rana Catesbeina Shaw, 1802). Two hundred fifty tadpoles with initial weight and length of 0,18 +/- 0,05g and 2,50 +/- 0,18 centimeters were used, respectively, they were used and distributed in 25 aquariums of 30 liter each in a complete randomized design with five treatments and five repetitions. The tadpoles were fed four times a day with diets containing 0, 5, 10 and 15% of inclusion of tilapia filleting and another diet with 0% of supplemented tilapia filleting with synthetic methionine, being supplied four times a day at ease. The experiment period was 30 days. The diets with tilapia filleting inclusion and methionine supplementation did not have influence in the final weight and length averages, feed survival and conversion of bullfrog tadpoles. It cam be used until 15% of tilapia filleting inclusion in the bullfrog tadpoles food. The synthetic methionine supplementation in diets for bullfrog tadpoles is not necessary in diets with levels over 0,471/4 of the total methionine.

Infestação experimental em girinos de Rana catesbeiana Shaw por copepoditos de Lernaea cyprinacea Linnaeus (Copepoda, Lernaeidae)

The Lernaea cyprinacea Linnaeus, 1758 copepodids experimental contamination on the Rana catesbeiana Shaw, 1802 ladpoles was analized. Sixty percent (12) of infested tadpoles was found parasitized. High mortality range, lower appetence, equilibrium loss and apathy were observed. The parasites showed the preference for the mouth and cloaca: in 72 hours lhe egg saes had already developed.

New record of Trichospilus diatraeae Margabandhu & Cherian, 1942 (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) parasitizing Sarsina violascens (Herrich-Schaeffer, 1856) (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) in Brazil

This is the first report of Trichospilus diatracae (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) found in the field, parasitizing pupae of the eucalyptus defoliating Sarsina violascens (Herrich-Schaeffer, 1856) (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae) in Brazil. This offers a new perspectives for the use of this parasitoid in biological control programs against caterpillars of forestry importance.

Efeito da temperatura sobre o desempenho da rã-touro (Rana catesbeiana Shaw, 1802)

Este estudo foi realizado para avaliar os efeitos do ambiente sobre a performance de rã-touro (Rana catesbeiana Shaw, 1802), criada em gaiolas de fibra de vidro instaladas no interior de estufas climatizadas. Após um período inicial de 15 dias de adaptação às instalações, à temperatura constante de 25,0ºC, os seguintes tratamentos foram aplicados: temperaturas de 23,0; 26,0; 29,0; 32,0; e 35,0ºC, por 30 dias, para rãs com 100 g PV inicial; 24,5; 26,0; 27,5; 29,0; 30,5; e 32,0ºC, também por 30 dias, para rãs com 20 g PV inicial; e a combinação das temperaturas de 26,0 e 29,0ºC com os fotoperíodos de 8, 12 e 16 h de luz a cada 24 horas, para rãs com 100 g PV inicial. Derivando-se as equações de regressão que explicam os efeitos de temperatura sobre o desempenho das rãs, estimaram-se melhores ganhos de peso à temperatura de 27,6e30,1ºC, para rãs com 100 e 20 g PV inicial, respectivamente, com melhor crescimento a 28,2ºC, para as rãs de 100 g PV inicial, e a 29,7ºC, para as rãs de 20 g PV inicial. A temperatura interagiu com fotoperíodo nos seus efeitos sobre ganho de peso e crescimento corporal, peso e rendimento de carcaça, consumo de alimentos e conversão alimentar.

Efeito da temperatura e do fotoperíodo sobre o desenvolvimento do aparelho reprodutor de rã-touro (Rana catesbeiana Shaw, 1802)

Foram avaliados os efeitos da temperatura e do fotoperíodo sobre a maturação sexual de rãs-touro pesando 94,22 g ± 12,03, mantidas durante trinta dias em temperaturas de 20, 23, 26, 29, 32 e 35°C, com fotoperíodo de 12/12 horas de luz/horas de escuridão (h L/E). A temperatura afetou os pesos do corpo gorduroso e do fígado, os quais variaram de acordo com modelos quadráticos, estimando-se maiores pesos de corpo gorduroso a 27,27°C e de fígado a 26,81°C. Estimaram-se ovários mais pesados a 28,36°C e ovidutos mais pesados a 28,77°C. Temperatura afetou a maturação sexual das rãs, avaliada por índices numéricos. Num experimento mais longo, rãs com peso médio inicial de 95,31 ± 8,46 g foram submetidas à combinação das temperaturas de 26 e 29°C com os fotoperíodos de 8/16, 12/12 e 16/8 h L/E, até atingirem a maturidade gonadal. Temperatura interagiu com fotoperíodo em seus efeitos sobre o desenvolvimento dos órgãos reprodutivos de rã-touro. Temperatura afetou a relação diâmetro do abdômen/distância entre os olhos, com maiores valores calculados para 26°C. Verificou-se que os maiores diâmetros dos ovócitos são obtidos a uma temperatura de 26°C, com fotoperíodo de 12,6/11,4 h L/E.

Suplementação com vitamina C e E sobre o desenvolvimento e sobrevivência de girinos de rã-touro (Rana catesbeiana Shaw, 1802)

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar os efeitos da suplementação de vitamina C e E sobre o desenvolvimento e sobrevivência de girinos de rã-touro. Os animais receberam 50, 250 e 500mg de vitamina C ou E/kg de ração, distribuídos segundo delineamento inteiramente casualizado com 3 repetições cada. Na dieta controle, não foram adicionadas vitaminas. Os girinos suplementados com vitamina C ou E não apresentaram diferença significativa no crescimento, comparados ao controle. Não obstante, os suplementados com 500mg de vitamina C apresentaram melhor sobrevivência (62,83%) do que os animais controle (40,48%; p<0,05), nos demais níveis desta vitamina e a adição de vitamina E não alteraram a sobrevivência. O presente trabalho sugere que 500mg de vitamina C/kg de ração constitui uma opção para melhorar a sobrevivência de girinos de rã-touro.

Transformacoes na producao de graos no Brasil Meridional no periodo 1950-1979.

A general survey on the transformations which occurred during 1950-1979 in the cultivated area and in the yield of five agricultural products. The only significant transformation which occurred in the grain production in southern Brazil was the expansion of the soybean crop which is related to its use as an industrial raw material and as an external trade product.-after English summary

Lima, uma cidade entre a aristocracia e a plebe (1950-1980)

The city of Lima has undergone serious changes over the past sixty years. Until the middle of the last century, Lima retained an urban structure similar to that built in the 18th century, during the final decades of its colonial period. This reality began to change with the abrupt onset of migration from the mountain ranges to the coast in 1946. However, rather than changes in its urban plan, Lima underwent a ethnic and social reconfiguration that would bring new color and new cultural and behavioral norms to the Peruvian capital. The arrival of migrants to the city caused a conservative reaction in the local elites, but it also sparked a need for the intelligentsia to develop new ways of thinking about the place of migrants in the space of the city, and on the other hand, to create new representations of the city itself. From being a city isolated from the rest of the country, Lima came to live with a range of cultural and ethnic references. It did so, however, without creating greater opportunities for the integration of the masses within the urban and social logic of the city, thus making clear the separation between the aristocracy and the general populace.

Caracterização de efluentes de viveiros de engorda de rã-touro (lithobates catesbeianus, Shaw, 1802)

Aim: Current analysis characterizes the effluent from bullfrog-rearing ponds during the grow-out phase; Methods: Temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, electric conductivity, turbidity, total phosphorus, N-NH3, N-NO3, BOD5 and COD and the number of thermotolerant coliforms (Escherichia coli) of the inlet and outlet water of the ponds were analyzed twice a week. Assay consisted of a completely randomized experimental design with two treatments (inlet and outlet water) and six repetitions in a split-plot, coupled to collection over time as subplot; Results: All variables were significantly different (p < 0.05) between treatments and over time (p < 0.05). Average rates of temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen levels of the supply water were higher when compared to those of the effluent. The other variables such as conductivity, turbidity, total phosphorus, ammonia, nitrate, biological oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand and E. coli were higher in the effluent when compared to rates in the supply water; Conclusions: The management during grow-out phase caused the deterioration of the water quality, with increasing levels of dissolved nutrients and the number of thermotolerant coliform. Ammonia and phosphorus levels in the effluent, caused by waste food, skin and feces, accelerate the eutrophication process of the receiving water body. Further studies on effluent treatment are required.
