Cytogenotoxicity biomarkers in fat snook Centropomus parallelus from Cananéia and São Vicente estuaries, SP, Brazil [PDF]

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2009
The aquatic environment receives many contaminants that can induce damages at the molecular, biochemical, cellular and physiological levels. Centropomus parallelus , an important food resource for local populations, is a predator fish that feeds on small

Genetic Structure and Biodiversity in Wild Centropomus parallelus and in Wild and Recently Domesticated Centropomus undecimallis Populations [PDF]

Life, 2023
Centropomus undecimalis (common snook) and Centropomus parallelus (fat snook) have a wide distribution from southern Florida to southern Brazil. Due to their value as a food source, these species have been heavily exploited through predatory fishing ...

Climate change linked to functional homogenization of a subtropical estuarine system. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2022
Distribution shifts in fish species, which have been linked to increasing temperatures, have led to subsequent increases in fish species diversity. In our study, increasing species diversity led to increased functional richness but decreased functional dispersion.

Trends in Medicinal Uses of Edible Wild Vertebrates in Brazil. [PDF]

Evid Based Complement Alternat Med, 2017
The use of food medicines is a widespread practice worldwide. In Brazil, such use is often associated with wild animals, mostly focusing on vertebrate species. Here we assessed taxonomic and ecological trends in traditional uses of wild edible vertebrates in the country, through an extensive ethnobiological database analysis. Our results showed that at

Wild animals used as food medicine in Brazil. [PDF]

Evid Based Complement Alternat Med, 2013
The connection between eating and healing is common in traditional folk medical systems, and the multiple possibilities resulting from the combination of biodiversity and culture confer a wealth and complexity in terms of knowledge of the flora and fauna as to their potential as food medicine.
