Combined osmotic dehydration and drying process of pirarucu (Arapaima gigas) fillets. [PDF]
J Food Sci Technol, 2017 The osmotic dehydration (OD) and complementary drying of pirarucu (Arapaima gigas) fillets were studied. Pieces of the dorsal portion of pirarucu (60 mm × 20 mm × 10 mm) underwent OD in a binary solution (NaCl-water) with the application of vacuum pulse following a central rotatable composite design.

Chromosomal characterization of the bonytongue Arapaima gigas (Osteoglossiformes: Arapaimidae) [PDF]
Neotropical Ichthyology, 2006 The mitotic chromosomes of the pirarucu Arapaima gigas inhabiting the middle Araguaia River and collected in the municipality of Araguaiana (MT, Brazil) were studied. The chromosomes were analyzed through Giemsa staining, C-banding, Ag-NOR staining and in situ hybridization using an 18S rRNA gene probe. The karyotype had 2n=56 comprising 14 biarmed and

Morphology and Histology of the Pirarucu (Arapaima gigas) Digestive Tract [PDF]
International Journal of Morphology, 2017 The present study describes the morphology and histology of the digestive tract of juvenile pirarucu, which is a Neotropical fish species with great potential for aquaculture in the Amazon region. Three size classes of pirarucu juveniles from commercial fish farms were sampled for histological examination of the oesophagus, stomach, pyloric caeca ...

Oropharyngeal morphological aspects of Arapaima gigas (Schinz, 1822)
Boletim do Instituto de Pesca, 2022 The study of the functional anatomy of the digestive system of fish, in particular the oropharyngeal cavity, is of great importance because it allows inferences about the feeding habit, mechanisms of capture, selection, and processing of food carried out by different species. Thus, the aim of this study was to describe the anatomical adaptations of the
