Phytochemical prospecting and cytotoxicity assays of potential bioproducts to control parasites in Colossoma macropomum Cuvier

With the aim of determining economic and environmental alternatives that support fish farming in State Rondônia, a phytochemical prospection genetic resources Rondônia flora was carried out. Subsequently, cytotoxicity assays against Artemia salina L. nauplii, thus observing those herbal medicines supposedly with greater potential to control parasites fish, emphasis on Tambaqui (C. macropomum). regard assays, at least four showed high potential, reaching values 100% mortality microcrustaceans, for tested concentrations. They were extracted from Chenopodium ambrosioides (herb Santa Maria or mastruz), Crotalaria cf. micans (maraca), Davilla sp. (fire vine, 1) Duranta (during). The bioprospecting RFG is also positioned as conservation strategy.
