          Abstract

          Sex control in fish is a promising technique for aquaculture, since it gives advantages associated with one sex. The aim of this study was to investigate the feminization of common snook (Centropomus undecimalis) by oral administration of two doses of estradiol-17β (50 and 100 mg E2 kg-1 feed) and control treatment for 45 days and to evaluate their effects on the sex ratio, growth and survival of common snook juveniles. After this period, fish were fed only with commercial feed without hormone supplementation. During the period of E2 administration, the control fish grew more than those in the other treatments. At the end of the experiment in the treatment with 50 mg E2 kg-1, 26.32% of the fish were male, 68.42% were female, and 5.26% were intersex. In the treatment with 100 mg E2 kg-1, 10% of the fish were male, and 90% were female. There was no difference in growth among the treatments after 11 months. This study showed that it is possible to obtain 90% common snook females using feeds with 100 mg E2 kg-1 for 45 days without impairing the fish growth or survival.

          O controle do sexo dos peixes é uma técnica promissora na aquicultura, pois permite obter vantagens associadas a um dos sexos. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito do hormônio 17β-estradiol (E2) na feminização, crescimento e sobrevivência de juvenis de robalo-flecha (Centropomus undecimalis). Durante 45 dias, os juvenis foram submetidos a três dietas (controle, 50, 100 mg E2 kg-1 de ração) com três repetições cada. Após este período, os peixes passaram a ser alimentados somente com ração comercial sem adição de hormônio. Durante o período de administração do E2, os peixes do controle cresceram mais que os dos outros tratamentos. No final do experimento, no tratamento com 50 mg E2 kg-1, 26% dos peixes eram machos, 68.42% eram fêmeas e 5.26% eram intersexo. No tratamento com 100 mg E2 kg-1, 10% dos peixes eram machos e 90% eram fêmeas. Após 11 meses não houve diferença de crescimento entre os tratamentos. Este trabalho mostrou que é possível obter 90% de fêmeas de robaloflecha utilizando rações com 100 mg E2 kg-1 durante 45 dias sem danos ao crescimento ou à sobrevivência.
