Resumo
In this study, we evaluated the possibility of obtaining successive Astyanax altiparanae spawns under laboratory conditions. In order to do so, 104 specimens were randomly distributed into four boxes (10 females and 16 males each) and kept in a recirculation system at an average temperature of 29.24 ± 0.42 °C, under natural photoperiod, for 30 days. On the onset of the experiment, males and females were induced for reproduction with a 6 mg kg -1 carp pituitary extract dose. After that, ovary (for gonadosomatic index and stereological assessment) and blood samples (for steroid evaluation) were collected from eight females (two per box) at the following moments: immediately after hormonal induction (day 0) and on days 1, 6, 16 and 30 after spawning. On day 6, spawned females presented complete mature ovaries similar to those on day 0 and, in this period, we did not observe postovulatory complexes, indicating that their resorption happened very fast. Concomitantly, the steroid levels increased gradually up to day 6, which corroborated an intense vitellogenic activity in this period. This study has demonstrated that A. altiparanae females are suitable for induced spawning within six days after spawning, when kept at 29.24 ± 0.42 °C, in a system maintained with recirculated water.
