Tambaqui Colossoma macropomum is the main native fish produced by the national aquaculture. However, the production chain of this fish has been significantly affected by acantocephalosis, caused by the endoparasite Neoechinorhynchus buttnerae. The selection of superior genotypes for resistance/tolerance to acantocephalosis is a fundamental approach to improve production in the context of …
Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is one of the main species of continental aquaculture production, being the most cultivated in Brazilian aquaculture. Streptococcosis shorts, associated with Streptococcus agalactiae infection, have been reported in commercial fish farms worldwide and often cause high mortality rates in Brazil. S. agalactiae is a gram-positive bacterium that has differ…
Aquaculture is projected as one of the main protein sources to feed the increased world consumption in the next decades. Brazil and Peru are key players for the aquaculture development in the region and the world, particularly for native species from Amazon region. Aquaculture species diversification and farming of native species is of particular interest in South America. The species Col…
The species Piaractus mesopotamicus (pacu) occurs in the watersheds of the Paraná-Paraguay River and corresponds to one of the freshwater fish most produced in the South America aquaculture. Therefore, pacu represents one of the main candidate fish to be improved by means of selective breeding, especially due to its market acceptance (national and international). Aeromonas hydrophila is a…

Pacu Piaractus mesopotamicus is considered one of the most important species of native fish cultivated in South America, and represents a target species for breeding programs. Infections by Aeromonas hydrophila have been responsible for high levels of mortality in aquaculture worldwide, including in the production of pacu. However, the treatments against infectious outbreaks most used in …
Tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum), native from Amazon and Orinoco River basins, has traits favorable to the cultivation system and high market acceptance. This fish is the main native species produced by national aquaculture. However, there are few genetic studies with this species, especially of genetic improvement and genomic association with traits of productive interest. The objective o…

Aeromonas hydrophila is a gram-negative bacterium considered a harmful pathogen to human health and to fish from freshwater environments. In Brazil, aeromoniosis causes high mortality rates in several fish species, including tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum). This study aims to perform a genome-wide association study for resistance to A. hydrophila in tambaqui. The specific objectives are: …
This study aims to characterize genetically the fish pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus) resistant to the bacteria Aeromonas hydrophila. The specific objectives are: 1) characterization of immune system genes, by RNA-seq technique, of susceptible and resistant individuals challenged with A. hydrophila infection; 2) characterization of QTL (Quantitative Trait Locus) associated with resistance t…
