New insights into the putative XX/XY sex chromosomal system in blue-eyed red-fin pleco Hypostomus soniae (Siluriformes, Loricariidae). [PDF]
Abstract Blue‐eyed red‐fin pleco Hypostomus soniae (family Loricariidae) presented a putative sex system XX/XY in early stage. Aiming to explore the inter‐populational karyotypic variation and proposed emergence of the XX/XY system, we studied 13 H. soniae individuals (6 males, 7 females) from the Tapajós River.

The genome of the arapaima (Arapaima gigas) provides insights into gigantism, fast growth and chromosomal sex determination system [PDF]
AbstractWe have sequenced the genome of the largest freshwater fish species of the world, the arapaima. Analysis of gene family dynamics and signatures of positive selection identified genes involved in the specific adaptations and unique features of this iconic species, in particular it’s large size and fast growth.
