Abstract
The objective of this study was to determinate the lethal concentration of dissolved oxygen (DO) over 96 hours of exposure (LC50–96h) for diploid and triploid jundia Rhamdia quelen juveniles. Diploid and triploid fish weighing approximately 4 g were subjected to DO concentrations varying between 0.4 and 1.3 mg O2 L−1; water temperature was maintained at 27 °C and pH at 6.3. The LC50–96h for diploids of Rhamdia quelen was 0.535 mg O2 L−1, while the value obtained for triploids was 6% greater. These results demonstrated that triploids of Rhamdia quelen juveniles have greater sensitivity to hypoxia compared to diploids.
