INFLUÊNCIA DA TEMPERATURA NO METABOLISMO DOS PEIXES

Abstract

Temperature is a very important environmental factor for fish, as most species are isothermal and depend on the ambient temperature to keep their organism functioning. Given the above, the objective was to analyze the influence of temperature on productive performance, reproductive behavior and metabolism in fish, as well as the damage that these temperature changes can cause to the liver of these animals and influence the feeding of the larvae. Therefore, a bibliographic review of the electronic literature was carried out. This study provides information on the effects of temperature on the zootechnical performance and metabolic profile of fish. And with these data, it is expected to improve the cultivation conditions of this species, both for conservation purposes and also being able to be used in the future to improve cultivation techniques for commercial purposes. Temperature is an extremely important factor in fish farming, as fish, being ectodermal animals, are directly influenced by the temperature of the environment in which they live, affecting the metabolism of these aquatic animals.
