RESUMO
From tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) farming, the by-products have been identified as a source of collagen that could be used for the development of dermocosmetics or pharmaceutical products. However, the characteristics of collagen related to a specific strain or culture must be well defined prior to its application. Collagen was extracted from the skin of three strains of tilapia: red YY males (YY: two Y-type sex chromosomes), XX gray females, and the F1: offspring of crossing red YY males with XX gray females; at different ages in the adult phase, using acetic acid and pepsin enzyme. The characteristics of acid-soluble collagen (ASC) and pepsin-soluble collagen (PSC) were shown by SDS-PAGE band profiles to be similar to bovine collagen type I (SIGMA), the PSC of gray tilapia being more fragile to temperature changes, consistent with the results of fractional viscosity. The characteristics of the F1 progeny were prioritized for being a commercially productive and sustainable source for the extraction of collagen, and the ASC form, being the one with the greatest stability and advantage over PSC, of importance to our investigations, leads to a controlled digestion as in the case of peptide induction, and also in the development of natural products in the pharmaceutical and/or dermocosmetic industry. Evaluations of the triple helix structure by FT-IR, X-ray diffraction and UV-visible spectroscopy give similar results between the strains: red, gray, and F1, and between ages in the adult form F1 (15, 24, and 36 months of age). Consequently, the skin of tilapia in adult form is recommended sustainably for up to 24 months of age where the collagen is obtained with the use of acetic acid without enzymatic treatment.

El objetivo del trabajo fue realizar la estandarización de los protocolos moleculares, diferenciar los linajes de la tilapia roja y gris mediante microsatélites de ADN y evaluar los marcadores SCAR5F-X/5R y SCAR-5F/5R-Y como indicadores del sexo genético de O. niloticus. El microsatélite UNH106 permitió diferenciar genéticamente los linajes de la tilapia roja de la gris. Los microsatélites UNH136, UNH115 y UNH995 presentaron loci monomórficos tanto en la tilapia roja como en la gris en el lote poblacional del Centro Experimental de Genética de la Universidad Nacional de Trujillo. Se describen los tamaños de fragmentos para los microsatélites y del gen de referencia β actin. También se confirmó la efectividad de los marcadores SCAR como informativos en la determinación del sexo genético evaluados en hembras XX y YY y machos XY y YY de O. niloticus roja y hembras XX y machos XY de O. niloticus gris.
The aims of this work was to develop a standardized molecular protocols, to differentiate red and gray tilapia lineages using DNA microsatellites and to evaluate SCAR-5F-X/5R and SCAR-5F/5RY markers associated with the phenotypic sex of O. niloticus. The UNH106 microsatellite allowed differentiating genetically the lineages of red tilapia from gray. The markers UNH136, UNH115 and UNH995 presented monomorphic loci in both the red and gray tilapia in the population stock of the Centro Experimental de Genética of the Universidad Nacional de Trujillo. Fragment sizes for microsatellites and the reference gene β actin are described. The effectiveness of SCAR markers as informative in the determination of the genetic sex in XX and YY females and XY y YY males of red tilapia and XX females and XY males of gray tilapia was also confirmed.
