Exposure of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) Fingerlings to a Saxitoxin‐Producing Strain of Raphidiopsis (Cylindrospermopsis) raciborskii (Cyanobacterium) Reduces Growth Performance and Increases Mortality Rate

Abstract: Blooms of toxin‐producing cyanobacteria have been more frequent and lasting because of the eutrophication of freshwater ecosystems, including those used for aquaculture. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of chronic exposure to a saxitoxin‐producing strain of Raphidiopsis (Cylindrospermopsis) raciborskii on the performance of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fingerlings over a 60‐d period. The fingerlings were cultivated under the following conditions: 1) water without cyanobacteri… Show more

“…On the other hand, Galvão et al proposed a depuration period of five days for the STXs accumulated in Nile tilapia muscles to reach undetectable levels [93]. The toxic effects of STXs on the survival and growth performance of Nile tilapia fingerlings were shown to be dependent on their weight (more mortality in the exogenous feeding phase) [170]. Samples of Geophagus brasiliensis fish from the Alagados reservoir were all contaminated with PST (gonyautoxins) with similar levels in all sampling seasons (spring 2007, summer, and autumn 2008), and these levels (in STX eq./100 g) were safe in all the positive samples [95].…”
