SUSTAINABLE STRATEGIES FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF ODONATA IN FISH FARMING: REVIEW AND IMPLICATIONS

Abstract

This study conducted a systematic review of the literature on the predation of Odonata larvae in fish farming, using databases such as Google Scholar and SciELO. The results showed that predation can reduce the survival of fingerlings by up to 30%, impacting the productivity of the nurseries. Alternative control methods, such as natural extracts and entomopathogenic fungi, were analyzed, which proved to be effective without the negative effects of agrochemicals, as well as the use of prey, such as Chironomidae. The research highlighted the importance of sustainable management strategies and the preservation of Odonata's diversity, which are essential for the health of aquatic ecosystems. In addition, the use of water quality monitoring technologies was considered essential to optimize the management of larvae.
