Um dos caminhos para identificar os contaminantes e seus efeitos em ecossistemas aquáticos é examinar a resposta de alguns organismos considerados bioindicadores. O presente projeto teve por objetivo avaliar a bioconcentração de cádmio e cobre pelo peixe de água doce Oreochromis niloticus (tilapia), visando, principalmente, estabelecer seu potencial bioindicador de contaminação destes metais em ambientes fluviais.Dentre os vários metais pesados passíveis de contaminação ambiental, o cobre um elemento essencial e o cádmio um elemento não essencial, são altamente tóxicos, mesmo em níveis de concentrações muito baixos e podem se elevar quanto maior for o nível trófico do organismo, podendo chegar ao homem em teores magnificados. Em condições laboratoriais, foram determinadas as toxicidades aguda de Cu, de Cd, e de Cu+Cd em ti¡pias em períodos de 24 á 96 horas de exposição. A partir dos resultados obtidos nos testes de toxicidade aguda, foi estabelecida a dose letal que levou a óbito metade da população (CL50). Os valores encontrados para o presente estudo foram: CL50-96h para cobre – 3,53 mg/L;CL50-96h pra cádmio – 20,13 mg/L;CL50-96h para cobre combinado ao cádmio – 1,36 mg/L. Foram avaliadas as concentrações dos referidos metais nos fígados e nas brânquias. O presente estudo mostra que em linhas gerais o fígado acumulou mais metal do que as brânquias, e que o processo de absorção do cobre é mais rápido do que o do cádmio para a espécie de peixe testada. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que o cobre foi mais tóxico do que o que o cádmio, entretanto, a combinação de ambos metais apresentou maior toxicidade

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).

Employing the method of least squares and quadratic B-spline polynomials, different statistical models were tested to identify the most appropriate to model the mean trajectories of live weight and carcass yield of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Data of live weight (8,758) and carcass yield (2,042) of tilapias with ages between 106 and 245 days were obtained from 72 families derived from 36 males and 72 females. The sex and tank variables were considered as classificatory and the coefficients of quadratic polynomials B-spline of two to five intervals of the same size were used as covariables. According to most fit criteria used, the models with quadratic B-spline polynomial with five intervals of the same size presented the best adjustments. The increase in number of intervals of B-spline polynomial improved the fit of the polynomials to the data. The inclusion of classificatory effects from sex, tank, the interaction of these effects and the quadratic polynomial B-spline nested in this interaction indicated that, over time, each sex, grown in different tank, presented different mean trajectory, necessitating the inclusion of nesting time in the interaction sex x tank in order to avoid the under or overestimation of breeding values of the selection candidates in breeding programs of this species.
