River and may represent a methodological advance in the study of models of distribution of species of the ichthyofauna in the Eastern Amazon, in addition to assisting the management of this aquatic ecosystem and water resources, by public agencies. Parasitic diseases can be considered one of the factors that threatens fish populations in a natural environment, since parasites can actively act in the destruction of the communities of these animals, affecting the relative abundance of different

The Amapá state has extensive forests and savannas, which are important carbon stocks being negatively affected due to agricultural, forestry and industrial activities. Thus the project aims to develop a methodology applicable to the entire State of Amapá, aiming to reach all types of existing vegetation, being the basis for estimates of forest biomass and the quantification of carbon stocks, in addition to enabling the monitoring of changes caused on biomass due to the economic activities de

The Brazil-nut (Bertholletia excelsa) is one of the most noble species of the forest due to the high value of its nuts, which is a rich source of vitamin E, complex B, besides minerals like phosphorus, potash, magnesium, calcium and selenium. The B. excels is much appreciated in natural and the “milk” extracted from its nut can be drank pure, mostly for infants and as an ingredient in recipes. This “milk” is an excellent raw material for the formulation of new products, but research studies a

The ‘cipó-titica’ vine (Heterops flexuosa) is a non-timber forest product of economical importance in Amapá. Its long and resistant aerial roots have historically been used for crafting furniture, utensils and handcrafts. The project will be situated in Nova Canaã settling, at Porto Grande municipality (Amapá) and aims to evaluate cipó-titica plants density in the forest in order to identify phorophytes (tree species that host the vine) and thus determine the rate of growth and emission of ne

This project proposes to evaluate and adapt technologies to integrate the intensive cultivation of tambaqui in a recirculation system to produce vegetables through the use of residual waters technology and the use of effluents. The technology diffusion activities have the partnership of extension agents from PESCAP (Amapá Fisheries Agency) and RURAP (Amapá Rural Development Institute) and producers. As results, it is expected to: 1) Strengthen institutional relations between Embrapa Amapá an ...

This project aims to evaluate the effects of food supplementation based on buriti fruits (Mauritia flexuosa) for the production of yellow-spotted river turtle (Podocnemis unifilis) in captivity, by means of zootechnical indices, hematological response, carcass yield and meat and fat composition of the animals. It is intended to generate a formulation of pelletized supplement based on buriti for farmed yellow-spotted river turtle, in addition to recommending quantity and period of supplementation

The GUIAMAFLOR project includes French (Guyana and Montpellier) and Brazilian (Manaus and Macapá) research partners. The fieldwork is located in four sustainable systems in three Amazonian regions (French Guyana, Amapá and Amazonas) aiming to understand how environmental factors influence the forest dynamic after logging in multiple intensity levels. With the project’s results it will be possible to make a synthesis of the knowledge about forests’ functioning after logging to improve forest m
