Definitions
- the present invention relates to the fields of aquaculture and fish farming and, in particular, to the adaptations and the means that enable reproduction and breeding, under optimal conditions for the achievement of an alternative to the cultivation of the piglet from species of fresh water.
- the backgammon is a fish of the family Gobiidae (Aphia minuta R.), of very small dimensions in adult state (2 - 4 cm), very commercially appreciated, and that has traditionally been consumed floured and fried in abundant oil.
- the frying of these fish really provides a low-medium protein ratio (fish mass) in relation to the flour used for their frying, which makes the taste of the meat of the piglet quite imperceptible.
- a document specifically related to the backgammon is ES 2204323.
- the present invention proposes and allows the cultivation of fish species not currently included in the catalog of cultivable species or of fish interest, or previously marketed, that may constitute an alternative to the breeding and / or consumption of the backgammon, and that by On the other hand, they contribute to reducing the illegal consumption of immatures.
- the aim of the invention is an aquaculture product alternative to the cultivation of the pigtail, obtained by fish farming and characterized by being a food product with the characteristics of the species to which it is alternative, not only for its protein and lipid composition and contents in omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids but also for its external appearance and texture, color, smell and taste, in addition to being suitable for human consumption (free of parasitosis) due to an exhaustive control in the aquaculture process.
- Obtaining said product requires the adaptation and regulation of various physical-chemical and biological parameters of the freshwater species to be used:
- Texture Salinity conditions, and even the density of fish in the crop, allow to control the texture, size and number of the microscales.
- Hardness of the endoskeleton Adjustable according to the contribution of calcium in the diet and the culture temperature.
- Taste and smell Modifiable also depending on the food and salinity conditions.
- parameters of reproductive biology for example, due to the increase in the temperature of the cultivation water as a consequence, of the seasonality
- industrial production for example, regulating the number of reproductive cycles, controlling the size dispersion.
- FIG. 1 Schematic view of a possible covered greenhouse installation (a) with a tank excavated in the ground (b) and with a central channel for collecting organic remains (c).
- FIG. 1 Schematic model of biological filtration system: Biofiltration system (wet and semi-humid) mounted in a greenhouse (Still system of fresh water production by evaporation) with bacterial rope nesting support (d). Cultivated water pumped to the top of the ropes slowly falls by gravity on them keeping them always moist. To the maintenance of the humidity and contribution of nutrients to the nested bacteria also contributes the arrival of water from the tank (in the opposite direction) by capillarity.
- Figure 3 General scheme of the process representing the reproduction unit (i) and the filtration unit (j), both under greenhouse; the fattening or production unit (k), outside (without cover) and with seawater; the juvenile storage unit (1), and an additional biological filtration unit (m), for the elimination of nitrogen compounds.
- Recirculating water allows the removal of feces and other waste from the culture water, for example by means of a settling pond.
- Water rich in nitrogen compounds and other organic remains is filtered, for example by a battery of physical silica sand filters followed by biological filtration in pvc tanks with semi-wet filters, bioballs and porous material that facilitates nesting and proliferation of transforming bacteria of nitrogen compounds.
- the resulting waters, rich in nitrate, can be used for algae production, ending at this point the elimination of nitrogen compounds and reusing this water again.
- Produced biolods and undigested organic remains are removed from the settling and separation tank and can be used as organic fertilizer.
- the culture tanks can be made of various materials (fiber, polyester, etc.), excavated in the ground and waterproofed with asphaltic cloth or equivalent, or directly with a waterproof clay bottom.
- Such cultivation facilities can allow intensive cultivation, with biomass loads of 20kg / m3, for example.
- a possible installation consists of a greenhouse with galvanized iron support, plastic cover and tank excavated in the ground with a capacity of 600 cubic meters waterproofed with pvc sheet and central channel for collecting organic remains.
- a wet and semi-humid system mounted for example in a Still type greenhouse (production of fresh water by evaporation) with bacterial rope nesting support (hemp), has proven experimentally to be more effective that large surface bio-balls, volcanic porous material and / or plastic or pvc pipes; also allowing the bacterial nesting surface to be exceeded per unit area with respect to other usable materials (pvc, plastic, ceramic material), being also easy to clean and maintain and favoring the oxygenation of the bacterial flora.
- Gambusia sp It is a freshwater species that tolerates salinity well, although salinities close to 36 g / 1 can significantly increase mortality and inhibit reproduction. In the present invention it is achieved after the selection (crossings) of different individuals at increasing salt concentrations so that they can be grown in seawater (35-36 g / 1, salinity). For this, salinity is increased from 5 to 5 g / 1, preferably once a week.
- the adaptation to high salinity conditions allows the reproduction process to be interrupted, thus achieving a maximum size and weight with lower consumable energy expenditure in reproduction and thus obtaining a better industrial assessment by presenting the most homogeneous sizes of fish independently that it is done at times of adequate temperature for reproduction (spring and summer months) and / or suitable photoperiod. From these individuals, the selection of males and females is carried out to obtain the Fl, thus having a line of reproducers suitable for salinity conditions. Due to the system of reproduction and laying (viviparous), it is advisable to isolate the parental population of newborns to avoid predation of these by the former.
- the players can be kept in isolation in the mass of cultivation water in plastic mesh enclosures with a mesh light that prevents the passage of the breeders but allows the passage to newborns, who naturally look for the protection outside the enclosure of the players.
- the system thus configured allows continuous extraction of the offspring to a second tank where they accumulate, allowing adequate feeding to their size and avoiding their predation by larger specimens.

Description
Obtención y producción de un pez parecido en tamaño y características organolépticas al chanquete (Aphia minuta). Obtaining and producing a fish similar in size and organoleptic characteristics to the backgammon (Aphia minuta).
Sector técnicoTechnical sector
La presente invención se refiere a los campos de la acuicultura y la piscicultura y, en particular, a las adaptaciones y los medios que posibilitan la reproducción y la cría, en condiciones óptimas para la consecución de una alternativa al cultivo del chanquete a partir de especies de agua dulce.The present invention relates to the fields of aquaculture and fish farming and, in particular, to the adaptations and the means that enable reproduction and breeding, under optimal conditions for the achievement of an alternative to the cultivation of the piglet from species of fresh water.
Técnica anteriorPrior art
El chanquete es un pez de la familia Gobiidae (Aphia minuta R.), de muy pequeñas dimensiones en estado adulto (2 - 4 cm), muy apreciado comercialmente, y que tradicionalmente se ha consumido enharinado y frito en abundante aceite. La fritura de estos peces realmente aporta una proporción proteica (masa de pez) baja - media en relación a la harina utilizada para su fritura, lo que hace bastante imperceptible el sabor propiamente dicho de la carne del chanquete. De hecho, y debido a lo anterior, la mayor parte de lo consumido como chanquete en realidad comprende diferentes fases larvarias, alevines o juveniles de otras especies de peces marinos como sardina, boquerón, triglas, mujol, etc., sin que el consumidor medio apreciase diferencias desde el punto de vista gustativo-cualitativo gastronómico entre las especies mayoritariamente consumidas con las del propio chanquete. Sin embargo, en la actualidad no está permitido el consumo de inmaduros de estas especies "alternativas", fundamentalmente debido a la merma de las producciones de especies comerciales persé (sardina, boquerón, jurel, etc..) al ser capturados sus juveniles (inmaduros) y consumidos como chanquetes.The backgammon is a fish of the family Gobiidae (Aphia minuta R.), of very small dimensions in adult state (2 - 4 cm), very commercially appreciated, and that has traditionally been consumed floured and fried in abundant oil. The frying of these fish really provides a low-medium protein ratio (fish mass) in relation to the flour used for their frying, which makes the taste of the meat of the piglet quite imperceptible. In fact, and due to the above, most of what is consumed as a backgammon actually comprises different larval, juvenile or juvenile phases of other species of marine fish such as sardines, anchovies, triglas, mujol, etc., without the average consumer there were differences from the gastronomic-qualitative point of view between the species mostly consumed with those of the backgammon itself. However, currently immature consumption of these "alternative" species is not allowed, mainly due to the decline in the production of commercial persian species (sardine, anchovy, horse mackerel, etc.) when their juveniles (immature) are caught ) and consumed as piglets.
En consecuencia, se han incorporado al mercado otras especies pesqueras, la mayoría importadas, cuyos individuos son de tamaño reducido, o bien alevines de especies de mayor tamaño. No obstante, en general, las características organolépticas de estas especies importadas no satisfacen las exigencias de la mayoría de los consumidores.Consequently, other fishing species, most of them imported, whose individuals are small, or fry of larger species, have been added to the market. However, in general, the organoleptic characteristics of these imported species do not meet the requirements of most consumers.
Por otra parte, se ha investigado la posibilidad de producir análogos al chanquete a partir de diferentes aproximaciones: Agregación de partículas de músculo mediante unión fundamentalmente física (EP 0234012), agregación de partículas mediante uniones químicas de sus proteínas (ES 2013965, ES 2047443, EP 0979616), agregación de partículas mediante
uniones químicas establecidas mediante la acción de la transglutaminasa (WO 193702).On the other hand, the possibility of producing analogues to the backgammon from different approaches has been investigated: Aggregation of muscle particles by fundamentally physical binding (EP 0234012), aggregation of particles by chemical bonds of their proteins (ES 2013965, ES 2047443, EP 0979616), particle aggregation by chemical bonds established by the action of transglutaminase (WO 193702).

Por último, se ha descrito el cultivo de chanquete como tal ["El Chanquete (Aphia minuta): antecedentes, biología y'cultivo experimental en Málaga", Reina Hervás y López Jaime: editado por: Diputación Provincial de Málaga, 2005], aunque el mismo no resulta aplicable industrialmente especialmente por los costes económicos asociados. No se conocen referencias a cultivos de otras especies de peces similares que puedan constituir alternativas al consumo de chanquete o de inmaduros de otras especies.Finally, the cultivation of piglet has been described as such ["El Chanquete (Aphia minuta): background, biology and ' experimental cultivation in Malaga", Reina Hervás and López Jaime: edited by: Provincial Council of Malaga, 2005], although it is not industrially applicable especially for the associated economic costs. There are no known references to crops of other similar fish species that may constitute alternatives to the consumption of pigtails or immatures of other species.
La presente invención propone y permite el cultivo de especies de peces no incluidas en la actualidad en el catálogo de especies cultivables o de interés piscícola, ni comercializadas anteriormente, que puedan constituir una alternativa a la crianza y/o consumo del chanquete, y que por otra parte, contribuyan a reducir el consumo ilegal de inmaduros.The present invention proposes and allows the cultivation of fish species not currently included in the catalog of cultivable species or of fish interest, or previously marketed, that may constitute an alternative to the breeding and / or consumption of the backgammon, and that by On the other hand, they contribute to reducing the illegal consumption of immatures.
Divulgación de la invenciónDisclosure of the invention
El objetivo de la invención es un producto de acuicultura alternativo al cultivo del chanquete, obtenido mediante piscicultura y que se caracteriza por ser un producto alimenticio con las características de la especie a la que es alternativo, no sólo por su composición proteica y lipídica y contenidos en ácidos grasos tipo omega 3 y omega 6 sino también por su apariencia externa y textura, color, olor y sabor, además de ser aptos para el consumo humano (libres de parasitosis) debido a un exhaustivo control en el proceso del cultivo acuícola. La obtención de dicho producto requiere la adaptación y regulación de diversos parámetros físico-químicos y biológicos de la especies dulceacuícola a emplear:The aim of the invention is an aquaculture product alternative to the cultivation of the pigtail, obtained by fish farming and characterized by being a food product with the characteristics of the species to which it is alternative, not only for its protein and lipid composition and contents in omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids but also for its external appearance and texture, color, smell and taste, in addition to being suitable for human consumption (free of parasitosis) due to an exhaustive control in the aquaculture process. Obtaining said product requires the adaptation and regulation of various physical-chemical and biological parameters of the freshwater species to be used:
Color: La obtención del fondo rosado propio del chanquete se consigue con una alimentación rica en betacaroteno mediante piensos artificiales y/o naturales ricos en artemia, camarones o equivalentes.Color: Obtaining the pink bottom of the backgammon is achieved with a diet rich in beta-carotene through artificial and / or natural feeds rich in artemia, shrimp or equivalent.
Textura: Las condiciones de salinidad, e incluso la densidad de peces en el cultivo, permiten controlar la textura, tamaño y número de las microescamas. - Dureza del endoesqueleto: Regulable en función del aporte de calcio en la dieta y de la temperatura de cultivo.Texture: Salinity conditions, and even the density of fish in the crop, allow to control the texture, size and number of the microscales. - Hardness of the endoskeleton: Adjustable according to the contribution of calcium in the diet and the culture temperature.
Sabor y olor: Modificables igualmente en función de la alimentación y de las condiciones de salinidad.
Por otra parte ha sido necesario ajustar parámetros de la biología reproductiva para evitar la reproducción incontrolada (por ejemplo, debido al aumento de la temperatura del agua de cultivo como consecuencia, de la estacionalidad) a la par que posibilitar su producción industrial (por ejemplo, regulando el número de ciclos reproductivos, controlando la dispersión de tallas).Taste and smell: Modifiable also depending on the food and salinity conditions. On the other hand it has been necessary to adjust parameters of reproductive biology to avoid uncontrolled reproduction (for example, due to the increase in the temperature of the cultivation water as a consequence, of the seasonality) at the same time as to enable its industrial production (for example, regulating the number of reproductive cycles, controlling the size dispersion).

Figura 2. Modelo esquemático de sistema de filtración biológico: Sistema de biofiltración (húmedo y semihúmedo) montado en un invernadero (sistema Still de producción de agua dulce mediante evaporación) con soporte de anidación bacteriana en cuerda (d). El agua de cultivo bombeada a la parte superior de las cuerdas cae lentamente por gravedad sobre ellas manteniéndolas siempre húmedas. Al mantenimiento de la humedad y aporte de nutrientes a las bacterias anidadas también contribuye la llegada de agua del tanque (en sentido inverso) mediante capilaridad. La condensación del vapor de agua (e) producido en el interior del invernadero a causa de la elevada temperatura que genera la radiación solar (í), se condensa sobre las paredes y techo pidiéndose recoger y obtener, de esta forma, agua dulce (g) que se vuelve a introducir en el circuito general para mantener la salinidad inicial, e incluso es posible incrementar el agua dulce (desalinización del medio) mediante el agua caída de la lluvia (h) en determinadas épocas del año por medio de los colectores de recogida del techo. El efecto de bajada de la temperatura por el proceso de la evaporación, dentro del filtro, permite obtener una temperatura óptima para los cultivos bacterianos anidados en las cuerdas de fijación y el aumento de la temperatura del agua de cultivo.Figure 2. Schematic model of biological filtration system: Biofiltration system (wet and semi-humid) mounted in a greenhouse (Still system of fresh water production by evaporation) with bacterial rope nesting support (d). Cultivated water pumped to the top of the ropes slowly falls by gravity on them keeping them always moist. To the maintenance of the humidity and contribution of nutrients to the nested bacteria also contributes the arrival of water from the tank (in the opposite direction) by capillarity. The condensation of the water vapor (e) produced inside the greenhouse due to the high temperature generated by solar radiation (í), condenses on the walls and ceiling asking to collect and obtain, in this way, fresh water (g ) that is reintroduced into the general circuit to maintain the initial salinity, and it is even possible to increase the fresh water (desalination of the environment) by means of the rain-falling water (h) at certain times of the year through the collectors of roof pickup. The effect of lowering the temperature by the evaporation process, inside the filter, allows to obtain an optimum temperature for the bacterial cultures nested in the fixing ropes and the increase of the temperature of the cultivation water.

Maneras de realización de la invención
Se describen ahora, sin carácter limitativo, realizaciones preferidas del objeto de la invención, esto es, del procedimiento de reproducción y cría en medio acuático de una especie de poecílido {Gambusia sp), así como del dispositivo que permite ponerlo en práctica, para la obtención de ejemplares muy parecidos, tanto en morfología como en tamaño, composición y textura de carne, a la especie Affia minuta (chanquete), para su uso como alternativa alimentaria al mismo; todo ello preferentemente unas condiciones de recirculación de agua (circuito cerrado), que permiten la producción sin desatender criterios medioambientales que pudieran verse afectados, así como controlar las condiciones físico-químicas del agua, fundamentalmente la temperatura. El agua en recirculación permite la retirada de las heces y otros desechos del agua de cultivo, por ejemplo mediante una balsa de decantación. El agua rica en compuestos nitrogenados y otros restos orgánicos es filtrada, por ejemplo mediante una batería de filtros físicos de arena de sílice seguida de una filtración biológica en tanques de pvc con filtros semihúmedos, de biobolas y de material poroso que facilita el anidamiento y proliferación de bacterias transformadoras de los compuestos nitrogenados. Las aguas resultantes, ricas en nitrato, pueden ser utilizadas para la producción de algas, terminando en este punto la eliminación de compuestos nitrogenados y reutilizando este agua nuevamente. Los biolodos producidos y restos orgánicos no digeridos son eliminados del tanque de decantación y separación y pueden utilizarse como abono orgánico.Ways of carrying out the invention Preferred embodiments of the object of the invention are now described, without limitation, that is, of the process of reproduction and breeding in aquatic environment of a kind of poecidid {Gambusia sp), as well as of the device that allows it to be put into practice, for obtaining very similar specimens, both in morphology and in size, composition and texture of meat, to the species Affia minuta (backgammon), for use as a food alternative to it; all this preferably water recirculation conditions (closed circuit), which allow production without neglecting environmental criteria that could be affected, as well as controlling the physicochemical conditions of water, mainly temperature. Recirculating water allows the removal of feces and other waste from the culture water, for example by means of a settling pond. Water rich in nitrogen compounds and other organic remains is filtered, for example by a battery of physical silica sand filters followed by biological filtration in pvc tanks with semi-wet filters, bioballs and porous material that facilitates nesting and proliferation of transforming bacteria of nitrogen compounds. The resulting waters, rich in nitrate, can be used for algae production, ending at this point the elimination of nitrogen compounds and reusing this water again. Produced biolods and undigested organic remains are removed from the settling and separation tank and can be used as organic fertilizer.
Los tanques de cultivo pueden estar fabricados en diversos materiales (fibra, poliester, etc.), excavados en tierra e impermeabilizados con tela asfáltica o equivalente, o directamente con un fondo de arcilla impermeable. Dichas instalaciones de cultivo pueden permitir el cultivo intensivo, con cargas de biomasa de 20kg/m3, por ejemplo. Una posible instalación consiste en un invernadero con soporte de hierro galvanizado, cubierta de plástico y tanque excavado en el suelo con una capacidad de 600 metros cúbicos impermeabilizado con lámina de pvc y canal central de recogida de restos orgánicos. En lo que al sistema de filtración biológico se refiere, un sistema húmedo y semihúmedo, montado por ejemplo en un invernadero tipo Still (producción de agua dulce mediante evaporación) con soporte de anidación bacteriana en cuerda (cáñamo), ha demostrado experimentalmente ser más eficaz que las biobolas de amplia superficie, material poroso volcánico y/o tubos de plástico o pvc; permitiendo asimismo superar ampliamente la superficie de anidación bacteriana por unidad de superficie con respecto a otros materiales utilizables (pvc, plástico, material cerámico), siendo además de fácil limpieza y mantenimiento y favoreciendo la oxigenación de la flora bacteriana.The culture tanks can be made of various materials (fiber, polyester, etc.), excavated in the ground and waterproofed with asphaltic cloth or equivalent, or directly with a waterproof clay bottom. Such cultivation facilities can allow intensive cultivation, with biomass loads of 20kg / m3, for example. A possible installation consists of a greenhouse with galvanized iron support, plastic cover and tank excavated in the ground with a capacity of 600 cubic meters waterproofed with pvc sheet and central channel for collecting organic remains. As far as the biological filtration system is concerned, a wet and semi-humid system, mounted for example in a Still type greenhouse (production of fresh water by evaporation) with bacterial rope nesting support (hemp), has proven experimentally to be more effective that large surface bio-balls, volcanic porous material and / or plastic or pvc pipes; also allowing the bacterial nesting surface to be exceeded per unit area with respect to other usable materials (pvc, plastic, ceramic material), being also easy to clean and maintain and favoring the oxygenation of the bacterial flora.
A continuación se describe un procedimiento preferido de cría y reproducción.
Adaptación a salinidadA preferred breeding and reproduction procedure is described below. Salinity adaptation
En primer lugar, para generar peces lo más parecidos posible al chanquete {Affia minuta), es necesaria la adaptación selectiva de los mismos al agua marina. Dicha adaptación mejora el sabor de la carne de este pez y condiciona una textura de la carne más similar a la especie que pretende sustituir tanto a nivel interno (paquete muscular) como a nivel externo (microescamas, más patentes y similares a las de A. minuta en condiciones de elevada salinidad). Además, la adaptación a la salinidad propicia el cultivo en zonas palustres o de marisma en la región sur- atlántica (esteros, por ejemplo) haciendo posible disponer de abundante agua y posibilidad de cultivos accesorios para la alimentación natural, la ausencia de patógenos propios de la especie de agua dulce y, por último, mejorar las propiedades organolépticas derivadas del mantenimiento de las especies de cultivo en agua con salinidad próxima a la del agua marina.First, to generate fish as close as possible to the backgammon (Affia minuta), their selective adaptation to seawater is necessary. This adaptation improves the flavor of the meat of this fish and conditions a texture of the meat more similar to the species that it intends to replace both internally (muscle pack) and externally (microscales, more patent and similar to those of A. minuta in conditions of high salinity). In addition, adaptation to salinity favors the cultivation in marshland or marshland areas in the South-Atlantic region (estuaries, for example) making it possible to have abundant water and the possibility of accessory crops for natural food, the absence of pathogens of the freshwater species and, finally, improve the organoleptic properties derived from the maintenance of crop species in water with salinity close to that of seawater.
Gambusia sp. es una especie dulceacuícola que tolera bien la salinidad, aunque salinidades próximas a los 36 g/1 pueden incrementar de forma importante la mortalidad e inhibir la reproducción. En la presente invención se consigue tras la selección (cruzamientos) de diferentes individuos a crecientes concentraciones salinas para poder cultivarlos en agua marina (35 - 36 g/1, salinidad). Para ello se incrementa la salinidad de 5 en 5 g/1, preferentemente una vez por semana. La adaptación a condiciones de alta salinidad permite interrumpir el proceso de reproducción, con lo que se consigue llegar a un tamaño y peso máximo con menor gasto energético consumible en reproducción y obtener de esta manera una mejor valoración industrial al presentar los peces tamaños más homogéneos independientemente de que se haga en épocas de temperatura adecuada para la reproducción (meses de primavera y verano) y/o fotoperíodo adecuado. A partir de estos individuos, se efectúa la selección de machos y hembras para obtener la Fl, disponiendo así de una línea de reproductores adecuados a las condiciones de salinidad. Debido al sistema de reproducción y puesta (vivíparos), es recomendable aislar la población parental de los recién nacidos para evitar la depredación de estos por los primeros. Para ello se pueden mantener los reproductores en aislamiento en la masa de agua de cultivo en recintos de malla de plástico con una luz de malla que impida el paso de los reproductores pero que permita el paso a los recién nacidos, que de modo natural buscan la protección fuera del recinto de los reproductores. El sistema así configurado permite la extracción de manera continuada de las crías a un segundo tanque donde se van acumulando, permitiendo una alimentación adecuada a su tamaño y evitando su depredación por parte de los ejemplares de mayor tamaño.
Características nutritivas de la dietaGambusia sp. It is a freshwater species that tolerates salinity well, although salinities close to 36 g / 1 can significantly increase mortality and inhibit reproduction. In the present invention it is achieved after the selection (crossings) of different individuals at increasing salt concentrations so that they can be grown in seawater (35-36 g / 1, salinity). For this, salinity is increased from 5 to 5 g / 1, preferably once a week. The adaptation to high salinity conditions allows the reproduction process to be interrupted, thus achieving a maximum size and weight with lower consumable energy expenditure in reproduction and thus obtaining a better industrial assessment by presenting the most homogeneous sizes of fish independently that it is done at times of adequate temperature for reproduction (spring and summer months) and / or suitable photoperiod. From these individuals, the selection of males and females is carried out to obtain the Fl, thus having a line of reproducers suitable for salinity conditions. Due to the system of reproduction and laying (viviparous), it is advisable to isolate the parental population of newborns to avoid predation of these by the former. For this, the players can be kept in isolation in the mass of cultivation water in plastic mesh enclosures with a mesh light that prevents the passage of the breeders but allows the passage to newborns, who naturally look for the protection outside the enclosure of the players. The system thus configured allows continuous extraction of the offspring to a second tank where they accumulate, allowing adequate feeding to their size and avoiding their predation by larger specimens. Nutritional characteristics of the diet
Gambusia es una especie larvicida que puede ingerir cualquier tipo de larvas (insectos, peces, crustáceos, etc.) cuyo tamaño así lo permita. Se adapta bien a la alimentación artificial pudiendo ser alimentada con piensos comerciales para otras especies de peces. La facilidad de utilizar alimento seco (peletizado) permite usar alimentadores automáticos programables. La composición de la dieta es variable, aunque una composición preferida estaría formada por : 20- 32% de proteína bruta para la alimentación en fase adulta y de un 32-40% en juveniles. En cuanto a las grasas, los valores medios están constituidos por 3-6% de grasas poliinsaturadas, y una proporción de carbohidratos del 40%.Gambusia is a larvicidal species that can ingest any type of larvae (insects, fish, crustaceans, etc.) whose size allows it. It adapts well to artificial feeding and can be fed with commercial feed for other fish species. The ease of using dry food (pelletizing) allows the use of programmable automatic feeders. The composition of the diet is variable, although a preferred composition would consist of: 20-32% crude protein for adult feeding and 32-40% in juveniles.

Características físico-químicas (salinidad, temperatura y pH) del cultivoPhysicochemical characteristics (salinity, temperature and pH) of the crop
La condición eurihalina de esta especie alternativa nos permite regular la tasa de reproducción controlando las condiciones de salinidad, aún cuando la temperatura del medio sea la adecuada para ello (comprendida entre 24-280C en condiciones naturales). En altas salinidades (por encima de 20 g/1) esta especie no se reproduce (aunque la temperatura del medio sea la adecuada); lo que hace posible prevenir la dispersión de tallas y la reproducción incontrolada en los tanques de cultivo, con el consiguiente ahorro energético por parte de los peces, ahorro que es aprovechado para promover un crecimiento más rápido del pez.The eurihalina condition of this alternative species allows us to regulate the reproduction rate by controlling salinity conditions, even when the temperature of the medium is adequate for it (between 24-28 0 C in natural conditions). In high salinities (above 20 g / 1) this species does not reproduce (although the temperature of the medium is adequate); which makes it possible to prevent the dispersion of sizes and uncontrolled reproduction in the culture tanks, with the consequent energy saving by the fish, saving that is used to promote faster growth of the fish.
Temperatura y salinidad idóneas:Ideal temperature and salinity:
o Para reproducción: 24-28 0C, salinidad < 20 g/1. o Para desarrollo y engorde: 15-28 0C (óptimo, 22-25 0C), salinidad > 20 g/1.o For reproduction: 24-28 0 C, salinity <20 g / 1. o For development and fattening: 15-28 0 C (optimal, 22-25 0 C), salinity> 20 g / 1.
Por otra parte interesa seleccionar especímenes con mayor una resistencia a bajas temperaturas (preferentemente con un crecimiento aceptable a temperaturas inferiores a 150C), con objeto de obtener un buen crecimiento incluso en meses invernales. Para ello se efectúa la selección mediante cruzamientos. Como ya se ha dicho, la temperatura y la concentración salina tienen influencia, entre otros, sobre la dureza del endoesqueleto, el sabor, el olor, etc., por lo que se pretende obtener el producto final en unas concentraciones salinas próximas a la marina (36 g/1) y a una temperatura comprendida entre 22 y 25 0C (engorde).
En lo que respecta a otras variables, los valores de oxígeno quedan comprendidos en el rango 6 - 8 ppm, mientras que los valores de pH quedan tamponados por la salinidad en el rango 7,5 - 8,4.On the other interested party select specimens with greater resistance at low temperatures (preferably with acceptable growth at temperatures below 15 0 C), in order to obtain good growth even in winter months. To do this, the selection is made through crosses. As already mentioned, the temperature and the salt concentration have an influence, among others, on the hardness of the endoskeleton, the taste, the smell, etc., so it is intended to obtain the final product in saline concentrations close to the marine (36 g / 1) and at a temperature between 22 and 25 0 C (fattening). With regard to other variables, the oxygen values are in the range 6-8 ppm, while the pH values are buffered by salinity in the range 7.5-8.4.
Por último, las condiciones particulares de cultivo posibilitan la producción industrial de Gambusia sp. [ajustada a los óptimos de reproducción de la especie (24-280C), con 3 a 5 ciclos reproductivos anuales (multiparidad)]Finally, the particular cultivation conditions allow the industrial production of Gambusia sp.
