Effect of ambient oxygen on growth and reproduction in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

Abstract: Growth, size at maturity, gonadosomatic index (GSI), egg size, and absolute fecundity of Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ) were significantly affected by oxygen levels (1.5 ± 1.0, 2.8 ± 1.4, and 6.0 ± 1.8 mg·L–1) in a controlled experiment designed to test the hypothesis (D. Pauly. 1984. J. Cons. Int. Explor. Mer, 41: 280–284) that O2 is the controlling factor for the transition from juvenile to adult in fish, in general, in the context of phenotypic life history plasticity and “stunting” in tilapias.

“…First, under hypoxia, tissue differentiation rates can retard development, so that embryos from males kept in hypoxia may be at earlier stages of development resulting in smaller sizes [67,68]. Second, development may progress at similar rates but embryos are smaller due to less efficient anaerobic metabolic processes [69,70]. Third, quality of parental care (for instance, nutrients provided) may differ in normal and low O 2 conditions owing to the physiological stress imposed by hypoxia on the caring parent, affecting the Table 3.…”

“…Esta variabilidad se debe a factores exógenos, relacionados con el medio ambiente; y factores endógenos, relacionados con el genotipo y la condición fisiológica de los peces (Wootton, 1998). Dado que el oxígeno es el primer factor físico limitante en un ambiente acuático (Ross, 2000 fide Kolding et al, 2008), Pauly (1984b) indica que la disponibilidad del oxígeno controla la edad de primera madurez, aunque se ha indicado en algunas especies de peces que el suministro de oxígeno afecta la maduración sexual (Iles, 1973;Haug, 1998). Pauly (1984b) define tres escalas para la época de desove y maduración: i) una escala de largo plazo (meses a años), durante el cual queda determinada la talla/edad de un pez que madura por primera vez, ii) mediano plazo (semanas a meses), durante el cual ocurre la maduración gonadal provocada por estímulos ambientales; y iii), escala temporal corta (de segundos a días), donde ocurren los procesos justo antes del desove.…”

“…En cambio el oxígeno, tendría un control en una escala de largo plazo (Pauly, 1984b;Imsland, 1999;Herrmann & Enders, 2000, Kolding et al, 2008. Estos factores afectarían la alimentación, el crecimiento (Pauly 1981(Pauly , 1984bVan Dam & Pauly, 1995), metabolismo (Herrmann & Enders, 2000), comportamiento y aspectos de la actividad reproductiva (Imsland, 1999).…”
