Desarrollo de un manual de BPPA en el centro turístico El Boliche de la comunidad Bayo.

Abstract

This research work aimed to develop a Manual of Good Aquaculture Production Practices (GAPP) in "El Boliche" Tourist Center in the Bayo community. It started with the application of a check list to verify the initial situation of the place. The microbiological analysis of the balanced feed and water was carried out together with the analysis of physicochemical parameters and the methodology used for the quantification of microorganisms was the Petrifilm plate method. The results of the check list were tabulated with a qualitative and quantitative frequency distribution. And, descriptive statistics were applied to the results of the microbiological and physicochemical analyses. In the microbiological analysis of the water, mesophilic aerobes, total coliforms, fecal coliforms and fungi were identified. It showed that there was no high microbial load that could jeopardize the quality of production. The physicochemical parameters evaluated were dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature, Ca, Mg, Na, Fe, and the results obtained were according to the values allowed by the different regulations. In the feed, the absence of Escherichia coli and salmonella, fecal coliforms, clostridium and fungi was verified. It showed that was a microbial load in the feed which is attributed to poor storage management. Finally, the results obtained from the water samples were according to the established ranges. However, food contamination was evidenced. It is recommended to apply the Good Aquaculture Production Practices Manual in order to reduce the existing problem.
