RESUMO Este trabalho tem como objetivo refletir sobre as práticas pedagógicas que utilizam o blackface de maneira equivocada na busca pela valorização da história e cultura afro-brasileira e africana. Para alcançar tal objetivo, utilizamos como aporte teórico Munanga (2008), Hall (2016), Souza (2011) e Silva (2014). A metodologia utilizada foi a análise qualitativa de entrevistas estruturadas e semiestruturadas com os professores da Educação Infantil e dos Anos Iniciais do Fundamental. Por fim, compreendeu-se que muitos professores não sabem do que trata o blackface, mesmo quando o praticam, o que é resultado de uma formação com currículo eurocêntrico que reproduz um discurso racista sem as devidas informações sobre as questões étnico-raciais. Sendo assim, práticas racistas com o intuito de promover igualdade racial nas escolas continuam a ser engendradas, “consumidas” por alunos e também reproduzidas por eles em um contínuo ciclo de repetição, cuja interrupção só será possibilitada com a efetivação de práticas antirracistas que estão em acordo com a Lei 10.639/2003 e suas Diretrizes Nacionais Curriculares (2004).

ABSTRACT This work aims to reflect the pedagogical practices that use blackface, in the wrong way, in the search for the valorization of Afro-Brazilian and African history and culture. To achieve this goal we used as theoretical contribution Munanga (2008), Hall (2016), Souza (2011) and Silva (2014). The methodology used was the qualitative analysis of structured and semi-structured interviews with teachers in the Early Childhood and Elementary Education segment I. Finally, it was understood that teachers do not know what blackface is about, even practicing, because this is the result of a formation with eurocentric curriculum that reproduces a racist discourse and without the information on the subject continue to be engendered in schools, “consumed” by students and reproduced by them also, in a continuous cycle of repetition, whose interruption will only be made possible with the implementation of anti-racist practices that are in accordance with Law 10.639/2003 and its Guidelines (2004).

ABSTRACT. The aim of this study was to investigate the tolerance of Hypsolebias radiseriatus larvae to different salinities, and the effects of different prey concentrations and water salinities on the larviculture of this species. Salinity tolerance was tested by subjecting newly-hatched larvae to 96 hours of osmotic shock testing (experiment I) and gradual acclimatization (experiment II) of the following salinities: freshwater (control), 2, 4, 6 and 8 g of salt L-1. A third experiment (experiment III) evaluated three water salinities (S0 - freshwater, S2 - 2 g of salt L-1 and S4 - 4 g of salt L-1) and three initial daily prey concentrations (100, 300 and 500 artemia nauplii larva-1). In experiments I and II, survival was only influenced by the salinity of 8 g of salt L-1 (p < 0.01). After 35 days, weight was only influenced by prey concentration (p < 0.05), with the highest value being with 500 artemia nauplii larva-1. The lowest survival was for 4 g of salt L-1 and for 100 artemia nauplii larva-1. H. radiseriatus larviculture can be carried out in salinity of up to 2 g of salt L-1 and initial daily prey concentrations with 500 artemia nauplii larva-1.

ABSTRACT The present study evaluated the accumulation and export of nutrients in cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica) cv. Gigante, fertilized with combinations of nitrogen (10, 70, 100, 130, and 190 kg ha−1 year−1 N) and phosphorus (10, 70, 100, 130, and 190 kg ha−1 year−1 P2O5) under annual and biennial harvests, in Quixadá and Tejuçuoca, using a split-plot randomized block design with four replications. In Quixadá, under annual and biennial harvests, the following orders of accumulation of macronutrients (in kg ha−1 year−1) were found, respectively: K (98.8) > Ca (87.2) > N (46.7) > Mg (26.8) > S (18.4) > P (2.04) and Ca (33.5) > K (31.1) > S (18.6) > N (12.9) > Mg (10.5) > P (0.81). In Tejuçuoca, under annual and biennial harvests, the orders of accumulation of macronutrients were, respectively: K (146.5) > Ca (204.6) > N (128.1) > Mg (75.8) > S (50.3) > P (3.7) and K (397.2) > N (191.3) > S (241.2) > Ca (167.8) > Mg (131.0) > P (14.1). The maintenance/production fertilization in cactus pear should be planned according to productive potential, fertilization and harvest managements, and cultivation region, based on nutritional requirement and considering the nutrient recovery efficiency.

RESUMO Amostras de ovos, larvas recém-eclodidas (NHL) e larvas no final do período lecitotrófico (oito dias após a incubação) (LPL) de Lophiosilurus alexandri foram coletadas para determinar os perfis de aminoácidos e ácidos graxos. A proteína bruta não alterou durante o desenvolvimento inicial e a concentração de lipídios foi maior na NHL. O conteúdo dos aminoácidos indispensáveis (IAA) isoleucina, leucina e valina diminuíram em LPL, enquanto nos ovos e NHL eles permaneceram com valores elevados e semelhantes entre si. Os aminoácidos dispensáveis (DAA), como ácido aspártico, tirosina e glicina, aumentaram em LPL, enquanto a alanina diminuiu. A porcentagem de lipídios neutros aumentou em LPL. O teor de ácidos graxos saturados diminuiu durante a ontogenia, enquanto os ácidos graxos monoinsaturados diminuíram apenas em LPL. O teor de ácidos graxos poliinsaturados foi maior em LPL. Os ácidos graxos polares foram encontrados em porcentagens mais altas em ovos e NHL, e menores em LPL. O teor de ácidos graxos saturados reduziu durante o desenvolvimento ontogenético, enquanto que os ácidos graxos monoinsaturados diminuíram apenas em LPL. O teor de ácidos graxos poliinsaturados foi maior em LPL. O conteúdo de proteínas foi mantido durante o desenvolvimento ontogenético, enquanto as classes de aminoácidos sofreram mudanças. Lophiosilurus alexandri usa preferencialmente ácidos graxos saturados e monossaturados como fonte de energia durante o desenvolvimento inicial.

ABSTRACT Samples of eggs, newly hatched larvae (NHL), and larvae at the end of the lecithotrophic period (eight days after hatching) (LPL) of Lophiosilurus alexandri were collected to determine the amino acid and fatty acid profiles. Crude protein did not change throughout initial development and the concentration of lipids was highest in NHL. The content of the indispensable amino acids (IAA) isoleucine, leucine, and valine decreased in LPL, while in eggs and NHL they remained high and similar in value. The dispensable amino acids (DAA), such as aspartic acid, tyrosine, and glycine, increased in LPL, while alanine decreased. The percentage of neutral lipids increased in LPL. The saturated fatty acid content decreased during ontogeny, while monounsaturated fatty acids decreased only in LPL. The polyunsaturated fatty acid content was highest in LP. Polar fatty acids were found in higher percentages in eggs and NHL, but lower in LPL. Saturated fatty acid content decreased during ontogenetic development, while that of monounsaturated fatty acids decreased only in LPL. Polyunsaturated fatty acid content was highest in LPL. Protein content was maintained during ontogenetic development, while amino acid classes experienced changes. Lophiosilurus alexandri preferentially uses saturated and monosaturated fatty acids as an energy source during its early development.

O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar os efeitos da temperatura da água e concentrações de presas (náuplios de Artemia) no desenvolvimento inicial de larvas de Lophiosilurus alexandri. O experimento foi conduzido em esquema fatorial 4 x 2, com quatro temperaturas da água (23, 26, 29 and 32 °C), duas concentrações de presas (P700 e P1.300) e três réplicas. A quantidade de alimento ofertado aumentou durante os 15 dias de experimento. Ao final do experimento a sobrevivência e o fator de condição foram afetados apenas pela concentração de presas, sendo que a maior concentração proporcionou médias superiores para as variáveis mencionadas. O comprimento total (CT) e a taxa de crescimento específico foram influenciados separadamente pelos fatores temperatura e concentração de presa, sem interação entre os fatores, e o peso individual das larvas apresentou interação entre os fatores estudados. Em geral, o aumento da temperatura (de 23 para 32 °C) promoveu o crescimento e o ganho em nitrogênio nas larvas de L alexandri. Para o CT, a temperatura ótima ficou em 31,4 e 31,0 °C para P700 e P1.300, respectivamente. Médias semelhantes do peso individual e ganho em nitrogênio foram observadas nos animais cultivados a 23 °C em ambos os níveis de concentração de presas. Nas demais temperaturas, o nível de P1.300 levou a um maior ganho em peso para as larvas de L. alexandri. Desta forma, conclui-se que o desenvolvimento inicial das larvas de L. alexandri é afetado por ambos os fatores estudados, e temperaturas entre 29-32 °C combinados ao maior nível de concentração de presas são as melhores opções para maximizar o desenvolvimento das larvas e o ganho em nitrogênio. Em adição, esse é o primeiro resultado sobre a incorporação de nitrogênio em larvas de peixes neotropicais.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of water temperature and prey concentrations (Artemia nauplii) on the initial development of Lophiosilurus alexandri larvae. The experiment was conducted using a 4 x 2 factorial design, with four water temperatures (23, 26, 29 and 32 °C), two different initial prey concentrations (P700 and P1,300) and three replicates. Feeding was increased during the fifteen-day experiment. At the end of the experiment, the survival and condition factor were affected only by prey concentrations, with elevated numbers of Artemia nauplii leading to higher averages of these variables. The total length (TL) and specific growth rate were separately influenced by temperature and prey concentration, without interaction between them, and weight showed an interaction with these factors. In general, an increase of temperature (23 to 32 °C) improved the growth and nitrogen gain in L alexandri larvae. For TL, the optimal temperatures estimated were 31.4 and 31.0 °C for P700 and P1,300, respectively. Similar mean body weight larvae and nitrogen gain were observed at 23 °C for both levels of prey concentrations. For other temperatures, the P1,300 level provided greater weight gain for L. alexandri. Therefore, it is suggested that temperatures between 29-32 °C combined with a higher level of prey concentration maximise the development and nitrogen gain in L. alexandri larvae. Moreover, this is the first result about nitrogen incorporation in neotropical fish larvae.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito de doses de florfenicol na incubação de ovos de pacamã (Lophiosilurus alexandri). Na primeira etapa, os ovos foram submetidos a concentrações de florfenicol entre 0 e 500 mg L-1, durante 24 horas. Na segunda etapa, as larvas foram observadas até o sétimo dia após a eclosão. Na terceira etapa, as larvas foram alimentadas por dez dias. Peso e comprimento apresentaram respostas que variaram de acordo com a fase de desenvolvimento e as concentrações de florfenicol. Concentrações menores que 309 mg L-1 de florfenicol podem ser usadas sem afetar as larvas nas fases posteriores.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of florfenicol doses on the incubation of "pacamã" (Lophiosilurus alexandri) eggs. In the first phase, eggs were subjected to florfenicol doses between 0 and 500 mg L-1, for 24 hours. In the second phase, larvae were observed until the seventh day after hatching. In the third phase, larvae were fed for ten days. Weight and length showed responses that varied according to the development stage and to florfenicol doses. Doses lower than 309 mg L-1 florfenicol can be used without affecting larvae in later stages.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a frequência alimentar e a taxa de arraçoamento durante o condicionamento alimentar de juvenis de pacamã. A alimentação de três e quatro vezes ao dia e as taxas de arraçoamento de 50, 75 e 100% da biomassa foram testadas. O manejo alimentar não afetou o crescimento, a sobrevivência, a mortalidade e o canibalismo dos peixes. A ausência de efeito do manejo se manteve quando os animais foram alimentados com ração extrusada, três vezes ao dia, durante 30 dias. A taxa de arraçoamento de 50% da biomassa e a alimentação por três vezes ao dia podem ser utilizadas no condicionamento alimentar de juvenis de pacamã.

The objective of this work was to evaluate feeding frequency and rate during feed training of pacamã juveniles. Feeding for three or four times a day and the feeding rates at 50, 75 and 100% of biomass were tested. Feeding management did not affect fish growth, survival, mortality, and cannibalism. Lack of management effect was kept when animals were fed extruded feed threefold a day, during 30 days. Feeding rate at 50% of biomass and threefold-a-day feeding can be used for the feed training of pacamã juveniles.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito do eugenol como anestésico para juvenis de pacamã (Lophiosilurus alexandri). Os animais foram divididos em dois grupos, denominados juvenil I (0,72 g) e juvenil II (7,44 g), e submetidos a seis tratamentos de eugenol (20, 40, 60, 80, 100 e 120 mg L-1), em dez repetições. Durante o experimento, foram realizadas biometrias e cronometragens dos tempos de indução e recuperação. Com o aumento das doses, o tempo de anestesia foi reduzido de 69 para 27 s, em juvenis I, e de 93,8 para 37,3 s em juvenis II. A sobrevivência foi de 100%.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of eugenol as an anesthetic in juvenile pacamã (Lophiosilurus alexandri). The animals were divided into two groups, named juvenile I (0.72 g) and juvenile II (7.44 g), and subjected to six treatments of eugenol (20, 40, 60, 80, 100, and 120 mg L-1) in ten replicates. During the experiment, biometrics and timing of induction and recovery times were measured. With the increasing doses, the anesthesia duration was shortened from 69 to 27 s in juvenile I and from 93.8 to 37.3 s in juvenile II. The survival rate was 100%.

The objective of this study was to assess the possibility of increasing the stocking density in the larviculture of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, in saline water. Six-day post-hatched larvae (average weight of 0.09±0.002 g), at the start of the exogenous feeding, were stocked in twelve 8 L tanks at densities of 1, 10, 20 and 30 larvae/L. The larvae were fed a diet consisting of 40% crude protein five times per day. During larviculture, water was kept at a salinity of 2 g of common salt/L. At the end of the 28-day experiment, the survival rate, length, weight, temperature, water salinity and conductivity were not affected by the different treatments. The dissolved oxygen and pH, however, decreased as density increased, whereas total ammonia concentration, turbidity and biomass showed a direct relationship with the increase of stocking density. Consequently, the present study shows for the first time that the larviculture of Nile tilapia is possible with up to 30 larvae/L in water with 2 g of salt/L.
