The project consists of studying the parasitic communities of fish species such as catfish and scales fish in the Amazon River system. The main points of analysis are the description of these parasitic communities, description of new species and checking whether the size of the host fish has an influence on the abundance of these parasites, their diversity, seasonal variation and their dispersion in the fish. The parasitic communities of different species of fish will be compared, as well as

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 ...
