          Abstract

          Abstract: The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of the use of an artificial substrate for periphytic biofilm growth on the microbiological composition of the biofilm, water quality, and zootechnical performance of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in rearing tanks. The experiment consisted of two treatments: presence and absence of artificial substrate for the growth of periphyton, with five replicates. Water quality parameters were evaluated throughout the entire experimental period. Every two weeks, samples of the periphyton were collected for the analysis of its microbiological composition and biometric measurements of the fish were performed. The number of heterotrophic bacteria in the biofilm increased during the experimental period, but that of Aeromonas decreased with the use of the artificial substrate. The total ammonia nitrogen in the tanks with periphyton reduced in 30% compared with that of the control. Tilapia reared with the biofilm showed a final weight 2.4 times greater than that of those subjected to the control, as well as an increase of 59.19% in their productivity. The use of an artificial substrate for periphytic biofilm in Nile tilapia rearing tanks favors the maintenance of the quality of the culture water, the protection of the fish against pathogens, and the improvement of the zootechnical performance of the fish.

          Resumo: O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito do uso de substrato artificial para o crescimento de biofilme perifítico sobre a composição microbiológica do biofilme, a qualidade da água e o desempenho zootécnico de tilápia-do-nilo (Oreochromis niloticus), em tanques de cultivo. O experimento consistiu de dois tratamentos: presença e ausência de substrato artificial para o crescimento de perifíton, com cinco repetições. Os parâmetros de qualidade de água foram avaliados durante todo o período experimental. A cada duas semanas, foram coletadas amostras do perifíton para análise da sua composição microbiológica e realizadas medidas biométricas dos peixes. A quantidade de bactérias heterotróficas no biofilme aumentou durante o período experimental, mas a de Aeromonas reduziu com o uso do substrato artificial. O nitrogênio amoniacal total dos tanques com perifíton reduziu 30% em relação ao do controle. As tilápias criadas com o biofilme apresentaram peso final 2,4 vezes maior que às submetidas ao controle, além de aumento de 59,19% na sua produtividade. O uso de substrato artificial para a formação de biofilme perifítico em cultivo de tilápia em tanques favorece a manutenção da qualidade da água de cultivo, a proteção dos peixes contra patógenos e a melhora do desempenho zootécnico dos peixes.

            Monitoring and managing microbes in aquaculture – Towards a sustainable industry

            Summary Microorganisms are of great importance to aquaculture where they occur naturally, and can be added artificially, fulfilling different roles. They recycle nutrients, degrade organic matter and, occasionally, they infect and kill the fish, their larvae or the live feed. Also, some microorganisms may protect fish and larvae against disease. Hence, monitoring and manipulating the microbial communities in aquaculture environments hold great potential; both in terms of assessing and improving water quality, but also in terms of controlling the development of microbial infections. Using microbial communities to monitor water quality and to efficiently carry out ecosystem services within the aquaculture systems may only be a few years away. Initially, however, we need to thoroughly understand the microbiomes of both healthy and diseased aquaculture systems, and we need to determine how to successfully manipulate and engineer these microbiomes. Similarly, we can reduce the need to apply antibiotics in aquaculture through manipulation of the microbiome, i.e. by the use of probiotic bacteria. Recent studies have demonstrated that fish pathogenic bacteria in live feed can be controlled by probiotics and that mortality of infected fish larvae can be reduced significantly by probiotic bacteria. However, the successful management of the aquaculture microbiota is currently hampered by our lack of knowledge of relevant microbial interactions and the overall ecology of these systems.
