Tratamiento para el control de Argulus sp. (Crustacea) en puyeque Dormitator latifrons (Eleotridae) en México

Control treatment for Argulus sp. (Crustacea) in the fat sleeper Dormitaror latifrons (Eleotridae) in Mexico

Objetivo. Determinar el tiempo efectivo de tratamiento con el protector cutáneo Dermogard® Aqua, y su correlación con el tiempo de exposición con parásitos desprendidos; e identificar los posibles parásitos causantes de infección en el pez puyeque (Dormitator latifrons). Materiales y métodos. En un sistema de cultivo en Sinaloa (México) se observó que individuos del puyeque presentaban falta de apetito, y nado errático. Se realizaron muestras de frotis de piel en los peces para identificar la causa de mortalidad. Se establecieron cinco tratamientos experimentales por triplicado, con baños de inmersión con Dermogard® Aqua a una concentración de 0.2 g/L para determinar el efecto del tiempo de exposición; TH1(1 h), TH2 (3 h), TH3 (6 h), TH4 (12 h) y TH5 (24 h) y un Control negativo (CTS) el cual no recibió tratamiento. Al finalizar se realizaron frotis de piel y branquias para su observación en el laboratorio y establecer la efectividad del tratamiento. Además, se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica sistematizada global de diez años sobre métodos de control de este ectoparásito. Resultados. Se identificó al ectoparásito crustáceo Argulus sp. como agente de infección en D. latifrons. Se muestra una correlación entre el tiempo de exposición y cantidad de parásitos desprendidos (p<0.05). Conclusiones. El tratamiento más efectivo procurando el bienestar de los peces para el control de los ectoparásitos con el protector cutáneo Dermogard® Aqua fue TH3 (6 h) (p<0.05). Los países con más estudios mundiales en tratamientos para el control de Argulus sp. son Indonesia e India.
