The use of marine biological resources has overtime been a source of food and wealth generation for different countries around the world. Among the many taxa that inhabit the oceans, fish have been the main target of artisanal, sports and industrial fishing. The family Centropomidae (order Perciformes), the genus Centropomus Lacépède (1802), comprise 12 species regarded as taxonomically v…
The creation of Tilapias in Brazil consists in one of the major sources of fish production, representing the most produced species in the country. Tilapias are advantageous due to several characteristics that made this species favorable to farming, such as rapid growth, good weather and environment adaptation and rusticity in management. The growth of this fishing activity is result of nu…
Fish consumption is associated with the different feeding habits of human communities. The continuous demanding of fish meat is mainly due to the health benefits of this food source. Among the various factors used in aquaculture operations, genetic improvement programs is one of main drivers to the productivity growth worldwide. Likewise, livestock breeding programs have achieved consider…
The tilápia Oreochromis niloticus is widely distributed fish species in Brazil and is the most farmed among the Brazilian freshwater fishes. Currently, few programs on genetic breeding have been carried out in Brazil. Aiming at producing a tilápia strain that put together superior performance and red coloration, the present project intends to apply a breeding program using the Chitralada …

The species Trachurus trecae occurs in the Eastern Atlantic between Morocco to Angola, sometimes ranging south to northern Namibia. This species is an economically important fishery resource for many countries, particularly to Angola. Fishing data reveal a recent population decline, possibly due to the strong fishing pressure coupled with the lack of fisheries management of this species. …
Rachycentron canadum (cobia) can be considered the marine fish species with the highest potential of production in Brazil, mainly due to fast growth, good feed conversion rate and excellent fillet quality. However some stages of the production cycle are limiting a large-scale production in Brazil. Nutrition can be considered the most problematic step due to the high costs of the fish oil …
The dusky grouper, Epinephelus marginatus occurs in the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic and the South American coast from Argentina to Rio de Janeiro. These fish have protogynous hermaphroditism and are essentially sedentary. The strong fishing pressure coupled with the lack of management planning of this species, late sexual maturation of male aggregation in the breeding season and the w…
Marine fish is highly dependent of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs), especially docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). The main source used to supply this requirement in marine species normally comes from fish by-products like fish oil. The reliance on fish oil could be considered a limiting factor to the industry expansion in Brazil since the cost of…
