ABSTRACT
RESUMEN Los temas de la acuicultura en los que se requiere innovación e investigación están orientados al mejoramiento y al conocimiento genético de especies nativas. En este sentido, el presente estudio se concentró en estimar heredabilidades, correlaciones genéticas y fenotípicas para características de crecimiento, canal, calidad y espinas intramusculares derechas (EIMD), en cachama blanca (Piaractus brachypomus). La progenie de 12 hembras y 24 machos por fertilización artificial de una hembra por dos machos, es decir, doce familias de hermanos medios, fueron analizados por medio del paquete estadístico SAS 9.4 (SAS®, 2014). Se asumió un modelo lineal general univariado, con inclusión de los efectos fijos, como factores de entorno, estanque y edad y factores genéticos, como efectos aleatorios. Las heredabilidades, en general, para las variables de crecimiento, mostraron valores de medios a altos; para las variables de la canal presentaron valores bajos a medios; para las variables de calidad fueron bajos y, de particular interés para la EIMD, la magnitud de la estima fue de 0,11 ± 0,15. Las correlaciones estuvieron, generalmente, cercanas a la unidad entre características de crecimiento. Estas fueron significativamente positivas para peso corporal, a 180 días de edad, con la mayoría de variables, a diferencia con las variables de calidad, la correlación para rendimiento en canal con EIMD de -0,99 fue encontrada significativamente negativa. Los resultados del estudio destacan el potencial para mejorar características de crecimiento, de canal y de calidad, a través de la explotación de la variación genética aditiva observada.
ABSTRACT The topics of aquaculture in which innovation and research are required are directed towards the improvement and genetic knowledge of native species. In this sense the present study concentrated on the estimation of heritabilities, genetic and phenotypic correlations for growth, carcass, quality and right intramuscular spines (RIMS) in white cachama (Piaractus brachypomus). The progeny of 12 females and 24 males by artificial fertilization of a female by two males, that is to say twelve half-sib families, were analyzed by means of the statistical package SAS 9.4 (SAS®, 2014), assumed an univariate general linear model with inclusion of Fixed effects such as environmental factors, pond and age as fixed effects and genetic factors as random effects. Heritabilities in general for growth variables showed medium to high values; for carcass variables, presented low to medium values; And for the quality variables were low; For the RIMS the magnitude of the estimate was 0,11 ± 0,15. The correlations were generally close to unity between growth characteristics. These were significantly positive for body weight at 180 days of age with most variables unlike quality variables; the correlation for channel performance with RIMS of -0.99 was found to be significantly negative. The results of the study highlight the potential to improve growth, carcass and quality traits through the exploitation of the additive genetic variation observed in this study.
ABSTRACT
Improvement of fillet traits and flesh quality attributes are of great interest in farmed tilapia and other aquaculture species. The main objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for fillet traits (fillet weight and fillet yield) and the fat content of fillets from 1136 males combined with 2585 data records on growth traits (body weight at 290 days, weight at slaughter, and daily weight gain) of 1485 males and 1100 females from a third generation of the Aquaamerica tilapia strain. Different models were tested for each trait, and the best models were used to estimate genetic parameters for the fat content, fillet, and growth traits. Genetic and phenotypic correlations were estimated using two-trait animal models. The heritability estimates were moderate for the fat content of fillets and fillet yield (0.2-0.32) and slightly higher for body weight at slaughter (0.41). The genetic correlation between fillet yield and fat was significant (0.6), but the genetic correlations were not significant between body weight and fillet yield, body weight and fat content, daily weight gain and fillet yield, and daily weight gain and fat content (- 0.032, - 0.1, - 0.09, and - 0.4, respectively). Based on the genetic correlation estimates, it is unlikely that changes in fillet yield and fat content will occur when using growth performance as a selection criterion, but indirect changes may be expected in fat content if selecting for higher fillet yield.

The influence of weight (W) category of the rainbow trout on processing yield and chemical composition of the entire eviscerated fish and fish fillet was analyzed. A completely randomized design was employed for processing variables (W1 = 300 to 370 g and W2 = 371 to 440) coupled to a 2 x 2 factorial scheme for the chemical composition (W1 and W2 and forms of presentation: fillet and whole eviscerated fish). W1 showed higher yield for entire eviscerated fish (83.00%) and head (13.27%), but a lower yield for the viscera (17.00%), when compared to W2. We did not affect abdominal muscle yield, fillet with or without skin, skin percentage and residues. There were significant differences between W for moisture (W1 = 72.30% and W2 = 71.15%) and lipids (CP1 = 7.96% and CP2 = 9.04%) rates. Fillet moisture contents (73.74%) and crude protein (19.05%) were higher (p 0.01) than for entire eviscerated fish (69.71% and 17.81%, respectively). Ash (2.15%) and lipid (10.48%) rates were higher (p 0.01) for entire fish when compared to those of fillets (1.16% and 6.52%, respectively). The slaughter of fish weighing between 300 and 370 g and their fillets are more adequate for the market.(AU)
O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a influência da categoria de peso (CP) da truta arco-íris sobre o rendimento do processamento e a composição centesimal do peixe inteiro eviscerado e do filé. O delineamento foi inteiramente casualizado para as variáveis do processamento (CP1 = 300 a 370 g e CP2 = 371 a 440 g) e em esquema fatorial 2 x 2 para composição centesimal (CP1 e CP2 e formas de apresentação (filé e peixe inteiro eviscerado). CP1 apresentou superior rendimento do peixe inteiro eviscerado (83,00%) e cabeça (13,27%), porém inferior para vísceras (17,00%), quando comparados à CP2. A CP não influenciou no rendimento dos músculos abdominais, filé com pele e sem pele, porcentagem de pele e resíduos. Houve diferenças significativas entre as CP para os teores de umidade (CP1 = 72,30% e CP2 = 71,15%) e lipídios (CP1 = 7,96% e CP2 = 9,04%). A umidade (73,74%) e a proteína bruta (19,05%) dos filés foram superiores (p 0,01) do que para peixes inteiros eviscerados (69,71% e 17,81%, respectivamente). Teores de cinzas (2,15%) e lipídios (10,48%) foram superiores (p 0,01) para peixes inteiros em relação aos filés (1,16% e 6,52%, respectivamente). Sugere-se o abate dos peixes com peso entre 300 a 370 g e a apresentação em filé como mais adequada para o consumo.(AU)

The objective was to evaluate the effect of slaughter weight on the processing efficiency of Pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus).The fish were cultivated in a soil vivarium and fed commercial feed. After ten months of cultivation, 96 fish were deadened, slaughtered, weighed and dissected to determine the yield of clean body, fillet and percentage of entrails. The weight classes analyzed were: CI - 135 to 285g; CII - 310 to 385g; CIII - 400 to 585g; CIV - 600 to 1.285g. For the variance analysis the data was grouped in four weight classes, and the regression equations were estimated regarding mean weight in each class. No effect of the weight class (P>0,05) was observed on the yield of clean body (RTL). However, there was a linear effect (P<0,05) of the weight classes in slaughter over the fillet yield (RF) and percentage of entrails. Pacus slaughtered in more elevated weight classes had greater filled yield. Thus, the fish destined to the fillet process should preferably be slaughtered at higher weights. The fish cultivated with the objective of being commercialized as a carcass or whole with entrails removed may be slaughtered at lower weights.

Peso corporal é o principal objetivo de seleção, e a seleção massal é o principal método em programas de melhoramento genético de tilápias do Nilo. O rendimento de filé é característica importante, mas há a necessidade do uso de informações de parentes para a predição de valores genéticos ou do uso de características correlacionadas, como medidas morfométricas, para garantir ganhos genéticos indiretos. Há pouca informação na literatura sobre estimativas de componentes de (co) variância genética de rendimentos de filé e medidas corporais para a espécie.

Body weight is the breeding goal in genetic improvement programs for Nile tilapia and mass selection is the most used method. Fillet yield is an important trait for chain production of this fish. For breeding value prediction for this trait, pedigree information or correlated traits are necessary to guarantee indirect genetic gains. There is poor information in literature about estimated genetic (co)variance components for fillet traits and morfometric measurements in Nile tilapia. The low heritability of the fillet percentage, medium to high heritabilities for morfometric measurements and the high genetic correlations among them could collaborate for indirect selection.(AU)

As características morfométricas, rendimento e a composição do filé foram pesquisadas em tilápia do Nilo Oreochromis niloticus, das linhagens tailandesas chitralada (Tai), local (Local, Norte do Paraná, Brasil), e da proveniente do cruzamento de ambas (Hbr, macho tailandesa x fêmea local). Ao início do experimento os peixes (n:900) apresentavam peso de 0,39+-0,20 e 0,45+-0,15 g e ao final 650,67; 534,25 e 360,00 g para as variedades Tai, Local e Hbr, respectivamente. Foram estabelecidas quatro razões morfométricas, sendo a razão entre altura da cabeça/ comprimento da cabeça da variedade Tai foi maior (P<0,05) quando comparada às duas outras linhagens. A linhagem Hbr apresentou maior rendimento em filé (39,05) (P<0,05) quando comparada à Local (38,00) e Tai (36,51), que não diferiram entre si (P>0,05). A composição centesimal do filé da linhagem Local apresentou menor teor de lipídios (1,88) (P<0,05) quando comparada à Hbr (2,44) e Tai (2,96), que também diferiram entre si, com menor teor de lipídios para a Hbr (P<0,05). O teor em proteína bruta, cinzas e umidade do filé não apresentaram diferenças significativas (P>0,05) entre as variedades
Morphometrics, fillet yield and fillet composition differences were researched in Nile tilapia, Oreochromisniloticus, strain thai-chitralada (Tai), Brazil (Local) Northern Paraná and their hybrid (Hbr, male Thailandx Brazilians female ). The experiment was designed entirely randomly with three treatments (strains) andthree repetitions per treatment in hapa nets in ponds. The initial weights were 0.39 ± 0.20, 0.45 ± 0.22 and0.41 ± 0.15 g for the strains Tai, Bras and Hbr, respectively. At the end of the experiment, the weights were650.67, 534.25 and 360.00 g for the same previous sequence, with statistically significant differencesbetween groups (P<0.05). Four morphometric proportions were established to characterise each group. For the ratio (head height)/(head length), the Tai strain was largest (P<0.05) as compared to the two otherstrains. The other morphometric proportions were not different (P>0.05). The strain Hbr produced(P<0.05) greater fillet yield (39.05%) when compared to Local (38.00 %) and Tai (36.51 %), the latter twowere not different from each other (P>0.05). Considering fillet composition, Local strain had the leastcrude lipid content of (1.88 %), as compared to Hbr (2.44 %) and Tai (2.96 %) which were significantlydifferent (P<0.05). Crude protein, ash and moisture of the fillets were not different (P> 0.05)
