Shrimps of genus Macrobrachium, family Palaemonidae, are largely utilized for aquaculture and also are explored by commercial fisheries. Amongst the species of this genus, M. amazonicum is largely consumed, shows valued meat and is largely distributed. Considering the social-economic importance of this resource in the State of Pará, this study has the objective of describing the population dynamics and assesses the stock of barky shrimp M. amazonicum in island of the Combú (Pará). Data was collect from March 2002 to February 2003 (except august) where approximately 500 grams of shrimp were monthly obtained. In laboratory, individuals were measured (total length and length of carapace) and weighted (total weight). For determining the fecundity, after removed the eggs mass, were transferred to a water solution were they were counted under a microscopy. For the determination of the population parameters, it was utilized the Program FISAT (Fish Stock Assessment Tools). Females showed smaller maximum length when compared to males, although their average mensal lengths through all year were superior to those of males. It was registered a significant positive sexual proportion to females in July, September, January and February and for the length classes 2.5-2.9 cm and 6.5 to 9.4 cm. The fecundity showed a positive linear relation with the total length and the number of eggs varied from 40 to 3375 eggs/female. It was registered 3 cohorts for the species which were born in December-January/02, September-October/02 and April-May/03. Considering the different methodologies, growth parameters were similar between them and K for males was superior when compared to females and varied from 0.7 to 1.35 cm/month. For females K varied from 0.66 to 0.91 cm/month. L∞ (for most methodologies) was also superior for males (12.37 to 17.66 cm) when compared to females (12.66 to 14.14 cm). Estimated values of total mortality Z for the capture curve had been bigger in the higher for males (values from 3.15 to 6.13) than for females (values from 3.86 to 6.89) the same occurred for method of Beverton and Holt, males (values between 5.43 to 9.31). The length at first capture (Lc) was superior for females (5.88 cm) than for males (4.25 cm). The EMSY (explotation rate for the maximum sustainable yield) for males and females is below the E (exploitation rate) indicating that M. amazonicum of island of the Combú is over-exploited.

Ecologia, pesca e dinâmica populacional do camarão-da-Amazônia - Macrobrachium amazonicum (Heller, 1862) (Decapoda:Palaemonidae) – capturado na região das ilhas de Belém - Pará - Brasil
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011) SILVA, Bianca Bentes da; MARTINELLI-LEMOS, Jussara Moretto; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5264841936875017; ISAAC, Victoria Judith; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3696530797888724
In monthly biological samples of M. amazonicum in Guajará Bay and Mosqueiro island, were studied reproduction, density, morphometric relationships and population dynamics. Two other sample designs was realized in two perennial the same estuary. Results indicate differences in capture of this species using different bait of meal, but is solely on the abundance and population structure does not change. The species is most abundant in the dry season, supporting the idea higher catchability of fishery resources. In Combu island was found species with larger sizes. Females are significantly larger and heavier than males, indicating the differentiation in metabolism due to reproduction. Sex ratio of males is higher in smaller size classes, which may indicate an increase in predation on smaller sizes of males due to their behavior more aggressive than the females or males simply because they reach lengths larger than females are more heavily preyed upon by fishing, with the recruitment of only the smaller males. First maturation length for both sexes resulted in 11.5 mm – carapace length - (11.5 mm in males and 11.2 mm in females). Reproduction in M. amazonicum is continuous or periodic a gradual increase during the months from October to March. The most common sites housed, as inner regions of tidal channels or holes (common in Amazon estuary) sites are preferentially sought by mature females for spawning and juvenile growth. Von Bertalanffy growth parameters obtained were very similar between the sexes, where L ∞ = 44.8 mm and K = 0.35 for males and L ∞ = 46.5 and K = 0.31 for females. Mortality and exploitation obtained was in maximum sustainability and the management should be treated fairly care. In this situation, any increase in effort may result a state of over-exploitation of growth. Allied to near commitment of the stocks of M. amazonicum of the socio economic fishing is no different from other systems of coastal fishery Para: poor education, poor performance of professional associations, chain productive complex and that its main underprivileged. We suggest the statistical monitoring of production, the delineation of the minimum capture length in 4.5cm; suppression of fishing with matapis in headwater areas of creeks and tidal channels, a census of users and the use of models bioeconomic that include major aspects of its biological and productive chain.

Estruturas do olho do Macrobrachium amazonicum (Heller, 1862) (Crustacea, Decapoda, Palaemonidae): estudo utilizando microscopia óptica e de varredura.
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011-01-19) BOULHOSA, Silvio Márcio Pereira; SILVA FILHO, Manoel da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2032152778116209
The genus Macrobrachium contains more than 120 species and occurs in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide (VALENT, 1987). They are freshwater shrimp family Palaemonidae and order Decapoda (RAFINESQUE, 1815; LATREILLE, 1802). In Brazil there are 18 species, classified until now distributed throughout the Amazon Basin (MELO 2003). Among these, Macrobrachium amazonicum (HELLER, 1862) popularly known as shrimp quiet or shrimp cinnamon, widely used in shrimp farming. Crustaceans have sensory structures located on the cephalothorax, which allow then to receive the stimulus means to locate and capture food (BARNES, 1998). The compound eyes are present in all classes of crustacean. Thus, this research hypothesis was that in Macrobrachium amazonicum, these eyes are kind of overlay reflective, where the dioptric apparatus and rhabdom extend in layers and are separated by a clear non-pigmented area. In this work we have the following objectives: To evaluate the morphological aspects of the eye of Macrobrachium amazonicum scanning electron microscopy; characterize the morphology of the photoreceptor cells; describe the morphological structures of the eye of M. amazonicum; characterize the morphometric relationships between the eye and other structures of M. amazonicum. The animals were acquired in the district of ‘Mosqueiro’ in the rainy season, in March 2009 and March 2010, with fishermen in Santa Barbara city, the metropolitan area of Belém, and transported to the laboratory in polystyrene boxes, being held in quarantine in a vessel containing a solution of potassium permanganate at 1.3 mg / L (CARNEIRO et al., 2005). The animals were fixed in Davidson Karnovisky then the eyes of each animal were carefully sectioned and placed in plastic. Relations were performed in biometric analysis of variance with α = 0.05, was performed with Bio Stats 5.0 for the lengths of the side of the eye and anterior-posterior of the four morphotypes, and SigmaPlot 11.0 and simple linear regression for the variables eye total and cephalothorax. It was observed that the average size of the cephalothorax, the body, the eye is respectively: 1.03 mm, 70.62 mm and 4.52 mm, and the average weight of shrimp was 7.97 g. The structures of these maximum values recorded were 31.95 mm for the cephalothorax; 100.10 mm body size, 6.80 mm for the size of the eye and 20.54 g for the weight of the shrimp. Histological analysis identified the following structures (Fig. 13:14 AB): cornea, crystalline cone, pigment distal shaft of the cone, clear zone, cuticle, retina, rabdoma, optic nerve fibers and laminates. With respect to scanning electron microscopy, were selected to observe the main structures and especially the arrangement of ommatidia square cross section (Figs. 16 AB). The morphological and morphometric analysis (by histology and scanning electron microscopy) showed characteristics of Macrobrachium amazonicum adults from the metropolitan region of Belém. These findings include a reflective optical superposition eyes fitted with the perception of light stimuli.

Macrobrachium amazonicum is the most commercially-explored fresh water shrimp in the Amazon, finding great acceptance in the consuming market. The objective of this work is to characterize the structure and the ultrastructure of the gonads of different M. amazonicum morfotipos in natural population. The shrimps (500 specimen) were collected in Furo das Marinhas (Mosqueiro – PA), by local fishermen and brought alive to the Laboratório, in an appropriate box containing local water. Fifty males were selected, weight, measured and killed. Gonads were collected and fragments were fixed in 2,5% glutaraldehyde 4% paraformaldehyde in sodium caccodylate buffer at 0,1M pH 7,2. For light microscopy the fragments were processed according to the standard histological technique for paraffin embedding. The sections were stained with Hematoxilin and Eosin. For transmission electron microscopy the gonads were post-fixed with 1% osmium tetroxide in sodium caccodylate buffer at 0,1M pH 7,2 and processed for embedding in Epon resin. Semithin sections were stained with toluidin blue. For scanning electron microscopy the fixed and post-fixed specimens were dehydrated, submitted to the critical CO2 drying point and then coated with gold and examined in electron microscope. Four morfotips in natural population were observed, in agreement with corporal dimensions and coloration. The morfotips were denominated as TC, CC, GC and GC’ according to Moraes-Riodades (2002). The biometric relation total/length cephalothorax and total/weight had presented negative allometrie.The testicles and are located in the cephalothorax. The testicle is constituted by seminiferous tubules; each tubule presents a very thin capsule of conjunctive tissue that divides the parenquime of the organ. The tubule is covered by flat cells and in its interior we observed a cell population of spermatogenic lineage in different maturation phases that were denominated as: spermatogônias, spermatocytes, spermatids and spermatozoids. The spermatogonias are the largest cells with cromatina organized in clots, located eccentrically in the tubule. The spermatocytes are round cells with cromatina in dense clots. The spermatids are small cells with great amounts of mitochondria. The spermatozoids are concave cells in the apical portion and convex cells in the distal portion, presenting a small spike assuming an aspect similar to a cup. In cross section, the vas deferens come covered by conjunctive tissue and they can present from a cubic to a cylindrical epithelium; they present in their interior an agglomeration of feeder cells located in the eccentric portion and spermatozoids located in the lumen of the ducts.The structural analysis of the M. amazonicum gonads, demonstated the of three distinct morfotips in the Furo das Marinhas.

The Macrobrachium amazonicum is a freshwater prawn with ample fishing exploration in the Amazon region, virtue of the abundance and good acceptance in the consuming market. The aim of this study was to characterize the fecundity and fertility of M. amazonicum in two estuaries environments in the State of Pará. Of form that was accomplished monthly collections in the period of September 2008 the August 2009, in the city of Vigia and Belém in the Island of Mosqueiro, the females were until the Laboratory of Ecology Aquatic and Tropical Aquaculture - LECAT in the campus of the Agricultural University Federal of the Amazom - UFRA in Belém. For the determination of fecundity 30 females were collected monthly on average ovigerous of each point of collection, the eggs adhered to the pleopods were removed, using sodium hypochlorite as 2 % of active and stored chlorine in alcohol 70%. The individual fecundity was determined from the total counting of eggs. For a determination of the volume of eggs it was selected of each place of collection randomly 50% of the total number of destined females ovigerous the fecundity, following two groups: eggs pigmented and non-pigmented. To determine fertility, ovigerous females of M. amazonicum were stored in individual glass tanks 2L. After hatching, the larvae were siphoned and counted. For all females was measured the weight of each specimen and evaluated their biometrics with the aid of a precision caliper. Females of M. amazonicum coming from the Municipality of Vigia had absolute length between 4.8 and 9.3 cm and weighing between 2.21 and 11.81 g with absolute fecundity between 38 and 5749 eggs (2296 ± 1288 eggs). For females of Belém, from the island of Mosqueiro, the length varied between 3.71 and 8.14 cm, weight between 1.27 and 11.2 g with absolute fecundity ranged from 123 and 7571, mean 1448 ± 990 eggs. The volume of eggs for females obtained in the City Watch, referring to the non-pigmented eggs, had an average volume of 141.37 mm³, whereas for pigmented egg volume was 116.13 mm³. Females from the island of Mosqueiro, with non-pigmented eggs an average volume of 118.97 mm³ pigmented eggs and the average volume was calculated at 144.61 mm³. The analysis of fertility in the females of Vigia had a length between 5.41 and 9.72 cm and weighing between 2.51 and 9.60 g absolute fertility was 14 and 4430 larvae mean 1152 ± 822 larvae per female. The island of Mosqueiro had a length between 3.53 and 7.67 cm and weighing between 1.12 and 8.77 g of absolute fertility between 7 and 4121 and averaged 755 ± 871 larvae per female. The referring values fertility and fecundity for the Vigia and Belém - Island of Mosqueiro indicate that it has proportionality enters the variables of length and weight. Although showing lower fertility and fecundity values presented for breeding other species of commercial interest, the values shown here show that these two places the species meets provide arrays potential for aquaculture.

Population structure and relative growth of the Amazon shrimp Macrobrachium amazonicum (Heller, 1862) (Decapoda: Palaemonidae) on two islands in the fluvial-estuarine plain of the Brazilian Amazon
(2014-06) NÓBREGA, Priscila Sousa Vilela da; SILVA, Bianca Bentes da; MARTINELLI-LEMOS, Jussara Moretto
This study aimed to describe the population structure of the Amazon shrimp Macrobrachium amazonicum, as well as their relative growth between the length of the cephalothorax and the total length, and between the length of the cephalothorax and the total mass of shrimps of a fluvial-estuarine plain in the State of Pará. Shrimps were sampled monthly from August 2006 to July 2007, using trawl nets, taking three replicates at each site (Arapiranga and Mosqueiro) per month, totaling 72 replicates. We caught 5,510 specimens, being 90.90% from Arapiranga Island and 9.1% from Mosqueiro Island. The highest densities occurred in July (1.33 individuals/m2), at the beginning of the dry season and in December (1.66 individuals/m2), at the beginning of the rainy season. The morphometric analysis for separate and grouped sexes resulted in negative and positive allometric growth. Ovigerous females were observed in all months, indicating continuous reproduction and the majority (67.81%) was caught during the less rainy season. The abundance and continuous reproduction of M. amazonicum show that this estuary offers conditions for the proper development of this population.

Spatial distribution of the amazon river prawn Macrobrachium Amazonicum (Heller, 1862) (Decapoda, Caridea, Palaemonidae) in two perennial creeks of an estuary on the northern coast of Brazil (Guajará Bay, Belém, Pará)
(2011-11) SILVA, Bianca Bentes da; MARTINELLI-LEMOS, Jussara Moretto; SILVA, Leiliane Souza da; CAVALCANTE, Danielle Viveiros; ALMEIDA, Morgana Carvalho de; ISAAC, Victoria Judith
Macrobrachium amazonicum is the most frequently consumed freshwater crustacean by river communities of the Amazon. Despite its relative abundance and vast knowledge on the species from data on cultivated specimens, little is known regarding its biology in the natural environment, especially its use of creeks that are strongly influenced by the tide. Specimens of Macrobrachium amazonicum were collected in September 2006 (dry season) and March 2007 (rainy season) from two perennial creeks of the Guajará Bay in the state of Pará (northern Brazil), using traps similar to the matapis used by local fishermen to identify the spatial distribution of the species. Shrimps of all sizes use the tidal creeks in both seasons, including for breeding purposes. The greatest abundance of the species occurred in headwater areas and in the dry season. It is suggested that abundant allochthonous organic matter and the preference for protected areas may explain the abundance and breeding activity of this species in the headwaters of the creeks.
