Subsequently, cytotoxicity assays against Artemia salina L. nauplii, thus observing those herbal medicines supposedly with greater potential to control parasites in fish, with emphasis on Tambaqui (C. macropomum). With regard to cytotoxicity assays, at least four herbal medicines showed a high potential, reaching values of 100% mortality of microcrustaceans, for the tested concentrations. They were extracted from Chenopodium ambrosioides (herb of Santa Maria or mastruz), Crotalaria cf. micans (maraca), Davilla sp. (fire vine, sp. 1) and Duranta sp. (during). The bioprospecting of RFG is also positioned as a conservation strategy.PDFapplication/pdfengDerechos de autor 2022 Silva, Amaral, Tomicha, Bastos, Pazdiora, Caetanohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.eshttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0deed.esAtribución-NoComercial-SinDerivadas 4.0 Internacionalinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArtículo Original de InvestigaciónAmazonian fishArtemia salinaherbal medicinesnaupliiTambaquiAcuicultura
