Fishes, 2022 This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary fructooligosaccharides (FOS) on the growth, survival rate, digestive enzyms activity, and the expression of intestinal barrier function genes in tropical gar (Atractosteus tropicus) larvae. A

Current Advances and Challenges in Fisheries and Aquaculture Science: Feature Papers for the New Journey of Fishes [PDF]
, 2022 This addresses current advances and challenges in fisheries and aquaculture science. Exposure of larval fish to elevated temperatures during embryological development may induce craniofacial and morphological alterations, which are suggested possible ...

Developmental cardiorespiratory physiology of the air-breathing tropical gar,Atractosteus tropicus [PDF]
American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology, 2016 The physiological transition to aerial breathing in larval air-breathing fishes is poorly understood. We investigated gill ventilation frequency ( fG), heart rate ( fH), and air breathing frequency ( fAB) as a function of development, activity, hypoxia, and temperature in embryos/larvae from day (D) 2.5 to D30 posthatch of the tropical gar ...

High-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene to analyze the gut microbiome in juvenile and adult tropical gar (Atractosteus tropicus) [PDF]
, 2020 Tropical gar (Atractosteus tropicus) is freshwater and estuarine fish, inhabiting the Earth since the Mesozoic era and undergoing limited physiological variation ever since.

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad, 2013 AbstractDue to recent population declines in tropical gar (Atractosteus tropicus), a greater understanding of its population structure is needed. A key step in gaining this understanding is the development of microsatellite loci for use in this species. For this purpose, 33 microsatellite loci from alligator gar (A.

Nutritional programming in tropical gar: effect of cornstarch on blood parameters [PDF]
, 2021 El pejelagarto es una especie carnívora, en la que se ha demostrado una mejora en el crecimiento durante el larvicultivo al incluir almidón de maíz en su dieta, así como una eficiencia en la ruta de la gluconeogénesis al utilizar hasta 23% de ...

Cardiorespiratory physiological phenotypic plasticity in developing air-breathing anabantid fishes (Betta splendens and Trichopodus trichopterus) [PDF]
, 1990 Articulo CientificoDevelopmental plasticity of cardiorespiratory physiology in response to chronic hypoxia is poorly understood in larval fishes, especially larval airbreathing fishes, which eventually in their development can at least partially “escape ...

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2018 Larval feeding studies of both ornamental and consumable fish species are important for formulating successful management, and culture strategies for conservation purposes. In the present study, we evaluated prey selectivity for the tropical gar Atractosteus tropicus in the larval stage (first 8 weeks) using the zooplankton Artemia fransiscana, Daphnia

Latin American Journal of Aquatic Research, 2019 Tropical gar ( Atractosteus tropicus ) aquaculture is a potential economic activity in southeast Mexico. This study analyzed the economic profitability of tropical gar grow-out using two commercial feeds (Silver Cup ® and Super ® ). The last one was designed based on the digestive physiology of the species. The experiment was conducted in six concrete
