Histological Characterization and Oocyte Development in Pearlspot, Etroplus suratensis (Bloch, 1790) From Vembanad Lake, Kerala, India

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study is the first to elucidate the oocyte growth pattern of Etroplus suratensis through detailed gonad histology. Ovary samples from different maturity stages were collected from October 2023 to September 2024 from cage culture systems installed in Vembanad Lake, Kumbalangi, Kerala, India.

Unprotected Waters: When Protection Fails In Freshwater

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Invasive species are a major driver of biodiversity loss in protected areas (PAs), yet their impacts in aquatic environments are less well documented. This study investigated the occurrence and distribution of nonnative freshwater fish in federal PAs in Brazil.

Achieving conservation through cattle ranching: The case of the Brazilian Pantanal

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2025.
Cattle ranching in the Pantanal should be part of the conservation agenda and we show the pathways to it. Abstract Cattle ranching in the ~140,000 km2 Brazilian Pantanal is considered one of the most important cases of sustainable use of natural resources in the global south. The region has had a successful history of balancing environmental protection

Fish distribution across altitudinal gradients in the Upper Paraguay River Basin: Implications for conservation in the Pantanal region

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 7, July 2025.
This paper approaches the patterns in fish distribution across the altitudinal gradient in the Upper Paraguay River basin, from uplands to the floodplain. We compiled more than 75,000 available fish records and registered 342 fish species and your distribution along altitudinal gradient. Floodplain portion have higher species diversity than headwaters,

Size-related and seasonal changes in the diet of the non-native Cichla kelberi Kullander & Ferreira, 2006 in a lowland reservoir in the southeastern Brazil [PDF]

Biota Neotropica, 2018
Abstract: We examined size-related and seasonal changes in the diet of the peacock bass Cichla kelberi in a tropical lowland reservoir in southeastern Brazil over three hydro-climatic seasons: summer (high rainfall and temperature), winter (low rainfall and temperature), and late spring (increasing rainfall and temperature) during two years (2006-2007).

Length‒Weight and Length‒Length Relationships of Freshwater Fish Species Caught by Professional Fishermen in the Itaipu Reservoir, Brazil

Journal of Applied Ichthyology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Length‒weight relationships (LWRs) and length‒length relationships (LLRs) were estimated for 63 and 58 freshwater fish species, respectively, captured in the Itaipu Reservoir, Paraná River Basin, Paraná State, Brazil. Sampling was carried out from March 1987 to July 2024 at 63 professional fishing sites within the reservoir’s area of influence ...

Spar genetic analysis of two invasive species of Cichla (Tucunaré) (Perciformes: Cichlidae) in the Paraná river basin = Análise genética via spar, de duas espécies de Cichla (Tucunaré) (Perciformes: Cichlidae) introduzidas na Bacia do rio Paraná

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2011
The introduction of exotic species in lake ecosystems has been greatly highlighted in the literature worldwide. Since introduction may threaten diversity of native fish, the issue turns up to be of paramount importance.

The economic displacement of thousands of fishers in the Pantanal, Brazil: A telling story of small‐scale fisheries marginalization worldwide.

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 25, Issue 6, Page 951-958, November 2024.
Abstract A new policy in the Pantanal wetland, Brazil, aims to economically displace thousands of artisanal fishers from one‐third of the region. The legislation disregards several FAO Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainability in Small‐Scale Fisheries' guiding principles (SSF guidelines). Considering that 2024 marks the 10th anniversary of these
