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 project aims to technically and scientifically support the development of aquaculture production of pirarucu (Arapaima gigas), with new technologies in the areas of nutrition and health. The physiological mechanisms for the validation of the use of immunostimulating products and probiotics that act as prophylactics for the cultivation of fingerlings and juveniles of pirarucu will be the basis of the study. The innovations obtained will be transferred to the productive sector, establishing

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

The development of the immune response in animals is quite complex and its modulation is a potential field for the maintenance of health condition of the herds. The control of the main diseases affecting animal production is made with the use of acaricides, antihelmintics and antibiotics that constitute risks to animal, human and environmental health. In this context new approaches to maintaining the health of livestock must be developed in order to minimize these risks and at the same time meet
