SUMMARY:

The commercial turtle breeding is seen as an opportunity for Kinosternon scorpioidesconservation in the Amazon due to the threat of predatory hunting driven by the interest in its meat. In this sense, we sought to study the species and its captive breeding system through three lines of research. In the first, an integrative review was carried out, which culminated in a synthesis of knowledge that aims to support commercial breeding. The results and conclusions showed that the species has low invasive potential; the activity demands a low requirement for area, infrastructure, and water use; and captive breeding is a zootechnical and environmentally timely activity for the conservation of the species, as it is a way to avoid spending on programs made just for this purpose. The second aimed to present an Aquaterrarium for animal maintenance guided within an Amazonian environment of welfare as alternatives to the absence of specific norms for slaughter and a structure that guarantees the conditions and adaptability for the situation of captivity as a pet. It was concluded that the structure is suitable for both purposes, but its use does not replace specific slaughter techniques, and before thinking about acquiring a chelonian as a pet, it is important to assess the compatibility of personal requirements with the possibility of keeping it throughout its long life. The third line sought to prospect polymorphisms in the C-MOS gene, characterize and relate them to body weight (BW) and average number of eggs (NE). For this, the DNA of 75 animals was extracted and sequenced. Population data were evaluated using the GENEPOP software, and associations between genotypes and the studied traits were tested by variance analysis (ANOVA). The results showed a non-synonymous polymorphism resulting in three genotypes: CC (49%), CT (42%), and TT (9%). However, these genotypes were not associated with body weight or number of eggs, being suitable only for use in population studies with the species.
