Abstract
The aim of this research was to test the use of natural operating as prophylaxis for the treatment of injuries and diseases during fish reproduction at aquaculture stations as an alternative treatment to allopathic medicines. The main objective was to analyze the mastic bark (Schinus terebenthifolius), garlic bark (Allium sativum), and sodium chloride (NaCl) regarding their antimicrobial properties for prophylactic use. The broodstocks of the species pirapitinga Piaractus brachypomus were kept confined in water tanks with a capacity of 1000 L, with a continuous water flow for oxygenation and renewal. The stock density was 3 fish/m³, due to the fish being the breeding season why it becomes territorial. A confrontation between males occurred, causing the loss of scales in one of the specimen, mainly above the lateral line. The treatment of this injured fish lasted for 21 days, daily in the morning and afternoon; it was bathed in a 30g/L salt solution for 30 seconds, then the mastic and garlic extract were applied directly to the injury. For the mastic extract 50 mL of the concentrate was used without dilution and for the garlic extract 40 mL was diluted in 60 mL of water
