          Abstract

          Abstract The fish stocking in captivity for later release into natural water bodies has historically been applied in Brazil, as a measure to mitigate impacts caused by dams. However, the released fish are adapted to the hatchery environment, which is totally different from the natural, which results in low post-release survival rates and ineffectiveness of stocking as a management measure. Worldwide, several studies have demonstrated the existence of large phenotypic differences between farmed and wild fish, but in Brazil, there is a great need for this kind of study. Based on this, our objective here was to verify if hatchery fish differ morphologically from its wild counterparties, at the same size class. Hence, a population of young Prochilodus lineatus raised in a fish farming station was compared with another from marginal lagoons of the Grande river. The results indicated that the fish farming resulted in morphologically different individuals of P. lineatus and a less diverse population, compared with wild fish. Measures such as environmental enrichment of hatchery tanks should be studied as a way to increase environmental heterogeneity and increase the morphological variability of the fingerlings produced.

          Resumo A estocagem de peixes em cativeiro para posterior soltura em corpos d’água naturais tem sido historicamente aplicada no Brasil, como medida mitigadora de impactos causados por barramentos. Entretanto, os peixes soltos são adaptados ao ambiente de cultivo que é totalmente diferente do natural, o que resulta em pequenas taxas de sobrevivência pós-soltura e ineficácia das estocagens como medida de manejo. Em escala mundial, diversos estudos já evidenciaram a existência de grandes diferenças fenotípicas entre peixes cultivados e selvagens, mas no Brasil há grande carência de estudos deste tipo. O objetivo do presente estudo foi verificar se peixes cultivados divergem morfologicamente de indivíduos da mesma espécie provenientes de ambiente natural. Para isto, uma população de jovens de Prochilodus lineatus oriunda de uma estação de piscicultura foi comparada com outra da mesma espécie e classe de tamanho oriunda de lagoas marginais do Rio Grande. Os resultados encontrados indicaram que o cultivo em piscicultura resulta em indivíduos de P. lineatus morfologicamente diferentes e em uma população menos variada se comparada com os selvagens. Como forma de aumentar a heterogeneidade ambiental e aumentar a variabilidade morfológica dos alevinos produzidos, devem ser estudadas medidas como o enriquecimento ambiental de tanques de piscicultura.
