Abstract

Abstract:: Aim: The present study aimed to estimate the sexual maturity, growth and mortality rates of the jaguar guapote, Parachromis managuensis, an introduced fish species in the Brazilian semiarid region.

Methods: Specimens were collected between December 2015 and November 2016, in a dam at Serra Talhada municipality, Pernambuco, where the species was abundant.

Results: In total, 520 individuals were analyzed, with total lengths (TL) varying between 23 and 240 mm. Length at sexual maturity varied between 130.87 and 140.68 mm TL (Mean = 135.78 mm TL). Through the modal progression of monthly frequency distributions, the following growth parameters were obtained according to the von Bertalanffy model: L = 341.40 mm, k = 0.840 and t0 = -0.035 year-1. Ages varied from 0.05 to 1.41 year, and an age at first maturity between 0.48 and 0.53 year (Mean = 0.51 year), with the largest part of the sample (72.64%) made of adult individuals. Natural mortality rates (M) were estimated from three different methods, varying between 1.53 and 3.04, with a mean of 2.27.

Conclusions: P. managuensis shows fast growth and maturation and high natural mortalities, which grants it biological advantages when compared to native species from the same trophic level in the area.

Resumo

Resumo:: Obietivo: O presente estudo teve como objetivo estimar a maturidade sexual, o crescimento e as taxas de mortalidade do peixe introduzido na região do semiárido brasileiro, o jaguar guapote, Parachromis managuensis.

Métodos: Os exemplares foram coletados entre os meses de Dezembro de 2015 e Novembro de 2016, em um açude do município de Serra Talhada, Pernambuco, onde a espécie é abundante.

Resultados: Um total de 520 indivíduos foram analisados, com comprimentos totais (CT) que variaram entre 23 e 240 mm. O comprimento de maturação sexual variou entre 130,87 e 140,68 mm CT (Média = 135,78 cm CT). Através da progressão modal das distribuições de frequência mensais, foram obtidos os seguintes parâmetros de crescimento segundo o modelo de von Bertalanffy: L = 341,40 mm, k = 0,840 e t0 = -0,035 ano-1. As idades variaram entre 0,05 a 1,41 ano, com uma idade de primeira maturação entre 0,48 e 0,53 ano (Média = 0,51 ano), sendo a maior parte da amostra (72,64%) formada por indivíduos adultos. Taxas de mortalidade natural (M) foram estimadas à partir de três diferentes métodos, e variaram entre 1,53 e 3,04, com uma média de 2,27.

Conclusão: P. managuensis possui crescimento e maturação rápida e altas mortalidades naturais, o que lhe dá vantagens biológicas em relação a espécies nativas do mesmo nível trófico na área.
