Determination of optimal prey for rearing tropical gar Atractosteus tropicus (Lepisosteiformes: Lepisosteidae) [PDF]
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

Supplementary fructooligosaccharides (FOS) were evaluated on growth, survival, gut morphology, digestive enzyme activity and expression of intestinal barrier genes in tropical gar (Atractosteus tropicus). Four treatments were designed to include FOS (5, 10, 15 and 20 g/Kg) and were compared with a control (0 g/Kg) and the current commercial trout diet.

Evaluation of Mannan oligosaccharides (MOS) in balanced diets for tropical gar juveniles (Atractosteus tropicus) [PDF]
Antecedentes: Los prebióticos son polisacáridos no digestibles por el huésped, pero, por otro lado, son los encargados de estimular la actividad de microorganismos benéficos en el sistema digestivo, lo que puede maximizar la ganancia en peso, la ...

Abstract Larval attachment organs (LAOs) are unicellular or multicellular organs that enable the larvae of many actinopterygian fishes to adhere to a substrate before yolk‐sac absorption and the free‐swimming stage. Bowfins (Amiiformes) exhibit a sizable LAO on the snout, which was first described in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Range extension of Tropical Gar, Atractosteus tropicus Gill, 1863 (Lepisosteiformes, Lepisosteidae), to the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico [PDF]
The distribution of Atractosteus tropicus Gill,1863 is represented by three separate populations, which range from southeastern Mexico to Costa Rica. Herein, we document the first record of A.

Developmental cardiorespiratory physiology of the air-breathing tropical gar,Atractosteus tropicus [PDF]
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 ...

Gut Microbiome Analysis In Adult Tropical Gars ( Atractosteus tropicus ) [PDF]
Abstract Tropical gar ( Atractosteus tropicus ), is freshwater and estuarine fish that has inhabited the Earth since the Mesozoic era, undergoing limited physiological variation ever since. This omnivorous fish is endemic to southern Mexico and part of Central America.
