O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da densidade de estocagem e da salinidade da água, na larvicultura do pacamã Lophiosilurus alexandri, alimentado com náuplios de Artemia sp. Foram utilizadas três densidades de estocagem: 20, 40 e 60 larvas L-1 (D20, D40 e D60, respectivamente). Para cada densidade testaram-se três índices de salinidade da água: água doce (S0), 2 (S2) e 4 (S4), em delineamento experimental inteiramente ao acaso, em esquema fatorial 3x3, com três repetições. Foram analisados: crescimento, sobrevivência, mortalidade, canibalismo, produtividade e níveis de amônia não ionizada. As concentrações de amônia não ionizada foram maiores nas densidades D40 e D60. Aos dez dias de alimentação, o peso foi afetado negativamente em D40 e D60 associado à maior salinidade da água (S4). A maior sobrevivência foi obtida no tratamento D20S2, enquanto os menores valores foram registrados em relação à salinidade S4, independentemente da densidade testada. Foram verificadas baixas taxas de mortalidade e ausência de canibalismo. A produção de juvenis também foi influenciada pelos fatores avaliados. Larvas de L. alexandri podem ser criadas, durante os dez primeiros dias de alimentação exógena, em água doce ou a 2 com maior produção de juvenis na densidade D60.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito de água levemente salinizada sobre a larvicultura intensiva do tambaqui, matrinxã, apaiari e piau, durante os dias iniciais de alimentação. As larvas foram mantidas em água artificialmente salinizada, em concentrações de 0 (água doce) a 14 g L-1 de NaCl (intervalo de 2,0 g L-1), e foram alimentadas com duas porções diárias de náuplios de Artemia, de acordo com protocolo para cada espécie, em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com três repetições. Larvas de tambaqui, matrinxã e apaiari podem ser cultivadas em até 2 g L-1 de concentração salina, sem prejuízos ao crescimento e à sobrevivência. Larvas de piau foram mais tolerantes e suportaram até 4 g L-1 de concentração salina. Acima disto, a mortalidade dos peixes aumentou e chegou a 100% à concentração de 6 g L-1 (matrinxã e apaiari) e de 10 g L-1 (tambaqui). A salinização da água a 2 g L-1 proporcionou maior taxa de sobrevivência a larvas de matrinxã e maior crescimento a larvas de tambaqui, apaiari e piau. Estas duas últimas espécies apresentaram melhor crescimento com a maior quantidade de náuplios. Água salinizada a 2 g L-1 é benéfica para as espécies estudadas, pois otimiza o potencial de crescimento das larvas e o uso de náuplios de Artemia como alimento vivo.

O presente estudo teve como objetivo a caracterização da qualidade ambiental da represa Mãe D’água, com ênfase na macrofauna bentônica. A área de estudo, situada na vertente sul/sudeste do morro Santana, município de Porto Alegre/RS (Brasil), faz parte de uma sub-bacia hidrográfica que tem como nível de base o lago Guaíba, um importante manancial de água doce. Para análise dos indicadores ambientais da água (variáveis físicas, químicas e microbiológicas), sedimento (textura e teor de matéria orgânica) e dos macroinvertebrados bentônicos, foram realizadas duas coletas de campo (verão e inverno de 2004), em quatro unidades amostrais na represa. As variáveis ambientais da água apresentaram características típicas de ambientes aquáticos eutrofizados. As concentrações de cargas orgânicas foram evidenciadas pelos valores médios de DBO5 (16,5 mg/L), e dos nutrientes fósforo (1,37 mg/L) e nitrogênio (12,73 mg/L). O sedimento apresentou altos teores das frações silte e argila, com teor de matéria orgânica superior a 10% do seu peso seco. A macrofauna bentônica caracterizou-se pelos baixos valores de densidade e riqueza, com dominância de Chironomidae (58,5%) representado principalmente pelo gênero Chironomus, organismos geralmente adaptados a sobreviver em ambientes escassamente oxigenados. Estes resultados mostram que a interferência antrópica está influenciando na dinâmica natural da área de estudo, contribuindo para a eutrofização das águas, baixa saturação de oxigênio, dominância de partículas finas no sedimento, e na redução da macrofauna bentônica.

This work aimed to study the structure and dynamic of Phytoplankton and Bacterioplankton in a complete cycle of shrimp cultivation (Litopenaeus vannamei) and determine the environmental factors responsible for the structural changes of these communities. The study was realized in a saltwater shrimp farm (Macaíba, RN), between September/2005 and February/2006, and in a freshwater shrimp farm (Ceará Mirim, RN), between May/2007 and September 2007. The samplings were collected weekly in saltwater farm and every fifteen days in freshwater farm. Total phosphorus, chlorophyll a and environmental parameters (pH, dissolved oxygen, salinity, temperature, depth and water transparency) were measured. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the phytoplankton and bacterioplankton were carried out. The Shannon-Wiener ecologic indexes of diversity and the Pielou equitability indexes were calculated to the phytoplankton. Bacterial density was determined by epifluorescence microscopy. The data were statistically analyzed by Pearson correlation and t-Test. Chlorophycea were predominat in salt water and in the captation/drainage point (24 to 99%). Diatoms had higher wealth. The species Choricystis minor had the highest occurrence (100%) and dominance (90-100%), thus showing its adaptation to the high temperatures, salinity and low water transparency conditions. Filamentous Cyanobacteria like Oscillatoria sp., Pseudoanabaena sp. and Phormidium sp. had constant levels. The negative correlation between chlorophycea and water transparency, and the positive correlation between chlorophyll a and salinity, showed that the phytoplankton was well adapted to the low transparency and to the high salinity. The bacterioplankton was negatively correlated with the total phosphorus and salinity. In freshwater, Cyanobacteria were predominant (>80%), presenting some producers of toxins species like Microcystis sp., Aphanizomenon sp., Cylindrospermopsis raciborskii e Anabaena circinalis. Cyanobacterial density and total phosphorus and chlorophyll a concentrations exceeded the maximum value allowed by legislation. The means of total phosphorus varied from 264 to 627 Wg.L-1 and the means of chlorophyll a oscillated between 22 and 182 Wg.L-1. The phytoplankton species were selected by low availability of the light, high pH, temperature and high availability of total phosphorus. The bacterioplankton showed high densities (5,13 x 107 to 8,50 x107 Bac.mL-1). The studied environments (ponds and rivers) presented a high level of trophic state based on the high concentrations of chlorophyll a and total phosphorus and cyanobacteria dominance. The composition of species in the ponds and rivers was similar, as well as high concentrations of total phosphorus and chlorophyll a, highlighting the pollution caused by the discharges of the farms in natural environment

It is important to evaluate the quality of water for proper management of these resources, since the increase of environmental degradation and the multiple use of water resources are decreasing the quality of water consumed by living beings. The objective of this study was to characterize the phytoplankton community and its variations during periods of dray and rain in Jiqui Lake located in Parnamirim, RN. It was also aimed to analyze the physical and chemical factors of this environment, in order to contribute to the knowledge of water quality used for human consumption. The collection of water samples were carried out in September 2008 to August 2009. The collection of the phytoplankton community was carried out in four sampling sites (surface, bottom, margin of the lake without macrophytes and site dominated by macrophytes). Phytoplankton was collected using plankton net of 20m. The analysis of nutrients and identification of phytoplankton were performed in the laboratory. The results indicate that concentration of chlorophyll a was high in the bottom with mean value of 1.07 μgL-1 (SD ± 1.61). During the study period there was a dominance of the following species: Euglena gracilis, Trachelomonas sp, Cyclotellas sp, Gomphonema apuncto, Navicula cuspidata var. cuspidata, Navicula sp, Rhopalodia gibba. There was homogeneity between limnological values in the four study sites, with significant difference between the periods of drought and rain. The Jiqui Lake is considered oligotrophic due to its low concentrations of chlorophyll a, high transparency and low levels of nutrients. The values of BOD and chlorophyll a concentration remained below the permitted standards existing for freshwaters in Brazil, thus the water from Lake Jiqui is of good quality, suitable for human consumption.

Due to the increasing activities and its disordered occupation, the catchment of the Pitimbu river is reason of concern for the population, since the river empties in the lagoon of the Jiqui where 30% of the water of this lagoon are caught for the supplying the city of Natal, playing an important fuction in the supply of water superficial for the capital of the Rio Grande do Norte. The superior stretch of the hydrography catchment of the Pitimbu river - Macaíba/RN, object of this study, is denoted by the eminently agricultural occupation with the use of the irrigated agriculture in the many properties that compose this stretch. Because of this becomes necessary to analyze the availability of the water resources in the catchment of the Pitimbu river, in the superior stretch, collating with the use and occupation of the existing terrain. The stretch in study was divided in eight points which had been performed tests throughout the water and analyzed the parameters physicist-chemistries and heavy metals that are praised by resolution CONAMA nº 357 e, visits in field with photographic survey for characterization of this verifying the situation where if it finds the river. The stretch presented some divergence in the parameters of pH and iron, however the results denote a characteristic of the region. The great amount of slide barrages throughout the river and the wet street was observed, had also verified near the edges the launching of garbage and, the great amount of aquatic vegetation. With this it is concluded that the water of the river can be used for human supplying, therefore inside presents a quality of drinking waters of the standards demanded for resolution CONAMA nº 357, in this way, the stretch in study could be adopted as an Envoiremental Area Protection (APA), to preserve and to guarantee, at least in this stretch, that its condition remains unchanged and continues to supply of permanent form a water of excellent quality

The Pitimbu River Basin is concern reason, therefore this is one of the mains freshwater sources for the Natal city supplying. The Pitimbu waters river flow into Jiqui pond, as the main supplier of this, that supplies 16% of Natal population and there is a bigger importance despite the supplying of a parcel of Natal city made joining underground waters with the water proceeding from the Jiqui pond, being used for dilution waters of contaminated wells with nitrate. Even with the importance of the Pitimbu, there is a strong pressure of occupation of its edge according to a critical urban growth, becoming the situation worse and increasing the necessity of management of the use and occupation of the ground and keeping the control of the prompt pollution, as punctual as diffuse. There are many studies about Pitimbu River Basin, however they summarize themselves to some months or even in a few years. This work, that gathers these information, increasing the amplitude and making possible an evaluation of the attitude of the water in a period extended for an evaluation of values of variable quality of water referring to the standards, that usually happens about the variable frequency distribution, central tendency and measures of dispersion, as the coefficient of variation, coefficient of skewness and the coefficient of determination of certain variable on another one. This work to evaluates the quality conditions of the Pitimbu river waters by analyzing thirty five (35) variables Physical, chemical and biological in eight (8) points of water course since 1993 to 2007. Given this situation, all knowledge about the waters quality conditions obtained in this work, is a strong subsidy for management of use and ground occupation, considering the river basin as territorial unit of management, and as the water is public good domain, being a priority human use, It is necessary to guarantee to current and the future generations available water resources in appropriate standards of quality as the established standard and identifying possible reasons of pollution through statistics analysis

Over exploitation of oil deposits on land onshore or offshore, there is simultaneous generation of waste water, known as produced water, which represents the largest waste stream in the production of crude oil. The relationship between the chemical composition of oil and water production and the conditions in which this process occurs or is favored are still poorly studied. The area chosen for the study has an important oil reserve and an important aquifer saturated with freshwater meteoric. The aim of this work is to study some chemical parameters in water produced for each reservoir zone of production in mature oil fields of Açu Formation, using the hydrochemical and statistical analysis to serve as a reference and be used as tools against the indicator ranges water producers in oil producing wells. Samples were collected from different wells in 6 different areas of production and were measured 50 parameters, which can be classified into three groups: anions, cations and physicochemical properties (considering only the parameters that generated values above detection limits in all samples). Through the characterization hydrochemistry observed an area of water and chlorinated sodium, chlorinated calcium or magnesium (mixed) in well water in different areas of Açu, by applying a statistical treatment, we obtained a discriminant function that distinguishes chemically production areas. Thus, it was possible to calculate the rate of correct classification of the function was 76.3%. To validate this model the accuracy rate was 86%

A Amazônia brasileira detém cerca de 69% da água doce disponível no Brasil, quantidade que acaba criando a ilusão de que não falta e nem faltará água na região, assim, a grande oferta deste recurso se torna um problema quando se trata da Gestão e Planejamento dos Recursos Hídricos na Amazônia, em função do uso perdulário e a falta de conservação dos mananciais, agravado pelo lançamento de resíduos líquidos sem tratamento. Falar em programas de conservação de água na Amazônia algumas décadas atrás e ainda hoje, com menor intensidade, é de certa forma estranha, devido à grande quantidade de água disponível e a cultura da abundância. Porém, com as mudanças climáticas, ssociada à crise da água no século XXI e o crescimento da consciência ambiental, surgiu um novo paradigma para o uso da água. Assim, a presente pesquisa busca discutir a importância do aproveitamento de água de chuva para fins não potáveis, visto o potencial de aproveitamento, ao longo de todo ano, devido o alto índice pluviométrico presente na região amazônica, variando, em média, de 119,6mm no mês de novembro a 441,6mm no mês de março. Foi verificado o potencial de aproveitamento de água da chuva, a partir das áreas dos telhados de alguns prédios, localizados na Universidade Federal do Pará – UFPA, Campus Guamá, também conhecido como Cidade Universitária Professor José da Silveira Netto. Os métodos utilizados para o dimensionamento do reservatório foram os de Rippl e o Interativo, sendo a verificação da viabilidade econômica feita através dos métodos do Valor Presente Líquido - VPL e payback descontado. Como resultado, obteve-se através do método de Rippl um volume superior a 1000 m³, enquanto que, pelo método interativo foi de no máximo 75 m³. A viabilidade econômica apresentou-se fragilizada em função do tempo de retorno ser superior a vida útil do sistema de aproveitamento de água de chuva.
