Tilapia, Oreochromis ssp, is the second most cultivated fish in the world and the main specie produced in Brazil. The tilapia health is the main concern of the fish culture chain, and it has been significantly affected by emerging diseases caused by Francisella noatunensis subsp. orientalis (FNO) and, more recently, by the Infectious Necrosis of the Spleen and Kidney virus (ISKNV). The Fi…
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…

Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is one of the most important farmed freshwater fish in the world. The four main Nile tilapia producer countries are currently China, Indonesia, Egypt and Brazil, representing together more than 83% of world production in 2021. One of the main challenges for the advancement of tilapia farming in Brazil is the frequent appearance of diseases during the p…
In fish, exposure to high temperatures can affect the proliferation, differentiation or even the survival of germ cells, compromising fertility and, therefore, the reproductive capacity of the species. In a recent study on rainbow trout, it was shown that heat stress during the early stages can induce permanent effects on essential reproductive aspects during the adult stage of males, in …
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 …

Pacu Piaractus mesopotamicus is one of the most important native fish cultivated in South America. Aeromonas hydrophila is a free-living gram-negative bacterium responsible for large economic losses in its production. Studies on the genetic basis of resistance of farmed pacu to A. hydrophila infection have revealed a polygenic architecture of resistance. In the case of polygenic traits, g…
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…
