Suckermouth-armored Catfish (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) of Central and Southern Vietnam
Inland Water Biology, 2020Presently, invasive fish species become dominant in some freshwater waterbodies and watercourses of Central and South Vietnam in terms of abundance, successfully competing with native species for ecological niches and environmental resources. This can ultimately reduce the diversity of native fish communities and cause their further transformation ...

Molecular phylogeny of the armored catfish family Callichthyidae (Ostariophysi, Siluriformes)
Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2004The family Callichthyidae comprises eight genera of fishes widely distributed across the Neotropical region. In the present study, sequences of the mitochondrial genes 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, ND4, tRNAHis, and tRNASer were obtained from 28 callichthyid specimens.

Modern Distribution of Armored Catfishes (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) in Central Vietnam
Inland Water Biology, 2018The modern distribution of South American armored catfishes (Loricariidae) is studied in three provinces in Central Vietnam. In the investigated area, representatives of the genus Pterygoplichthys occur, and at present they have moved into all main river basins.

Patterns of air-breathing behavior in juvenile armored catfish, Pterygoplichthys sp. (Gill 1858)
Environmental Biology of Fishes, 2021Many hypoxic freshwater springs have become havens for air-breathing, invasive, loricariid armored catfish. However, this does not seem to be the case for juvenile catfish, which are rarely seen. We wondered if hypoxia and air-breathing influenced habitat selection in juveniles, and so we designed an experiment to test the sensitivity of two size ...

Journal of Morphology, 2011
AbstractWe examined the mandibles of 377 individuals representing 25 species, 12 genera, 5 tribes, and 2 subfamilies of the Loricariidae, a species‐rich radiation of detritivorous–herbivorous neotropical freshwater fishes distinguished by having a ventral oral disk and jaws specialized for surface attachment and benthic feeding.

Mitochondrial DNA Part A, 2014
The complete mitochondrial genome of the armored catfish, Hypostomus plecostomus, was determined by next generation sequencing of genomic DNA without prior sample processing or primer design. Bioinformatics analysis resulted in the entire mitochondrial genome sequence with length of 16,523 bp. The H.

Zootaxa, 2023
A new genus and species of whiptail loricariid catfish belonging to the Pseudohemiodon group is described with 12 specimens captured from the upper Orinoco River and Casiquiare River, Amazonas State, Venezuela. The specimens show delicate and fragile appearance, and are small (largest specimen 74.3 mm SL).

Physiological and Biochemical Zoology, 2010
The armored catfish, Pterygoplichthys pardalis (formerly Liposarcus pardalis), is a freshwater, facultative air-breathing teleost that experiences seasonal hypercapnia in the water systems of South America. We studied the tolerance of the P. pardalis heart to hypercapnic acidosis using an isolated ventricular muscle strip preparation.

Preliminary Report: Exotic armored catfish may reduce survival and growth of native amphibians
BIOS, 2017Invasive species threaten biodiversity worldwide. Armored catfish, which are benthic grazers, have been introduced globally and damage ecosystems in numerous ways. However, their competitive interactions with native benthic grazers have not been tested.
