Cultivo de <i>azolla anabaena</i> como suplemento alimenticio en el cultivo de tilapia roja <i>oreochromis sp</i>

Abstract

Red tilapia is a teleost fish resulting from a hybridization between several species of Oreochromis spp. which has high growth rates in less time, greater resistance to diseases and better adaptability to different aquatic environments. Under this concept, it became an ideal species for aquaculture when the white spot or white spott attacked white shrimp productions, leading to total crop deaths due to its high mortality rate and little knowledge of the diseases. Being a developing species, natural food sources are needed to help reduce costs, so the development of this work is based on determining the benefits brought by Azolla anabaena in the culture of Oreochromis sp. through symbiosis with the water fern Azolla sp. which together provide long-term food for the red shrimp. The objective of this work is based on the importance of symbiosis of Azolla sp together with Azolla anabaena generating positive effects in the production of red tilapia (Oreochromis sp) providing natural food for the animal and at the same time reducing the levels of nitrogen in the water.
