Ichthyofauna used in traditional medicine in Brazil. [PDF]
Fish represent the group of vertebrates with the largest number of species and the largest geographic distribution; they are also used in different ways by modern civilizations. The goal of this study was to compile the current knowledge on the use of ichthyofauna in zootherapeutic practices in Brazil, including ecological and conservational commentary

Diet of three juvenile fish species of the coastal zone of a Southwest Atlantic beach, Brazil
Surf zones are associated with a shelter area, nursery and feeding for several species of fish. In this study, the dietary habits of three species of fish with demersal habits (Gulf kingcroaker Menticirrhu gracilis, Whitesea catfish Genidens barbus and ...

Abstract Aim Understanding patterns and drivers of biodiversity are essential towards developing effective conservation strategies for shallow marine habitats broadly. However, little is known about the natural and anthropogenic factors that structure fish biodiversity of sandy beaches, one of the largest and most socio‐economically valuable nearshore ...

Integrated use of otolith shape and microchemistry to assess Genidens barbus fish stock structure
Abstract Otolith composition (edge vs core: Mg/Ca, Mn/Ca, Zn/Ca, Sr/Ca, Ba/Ca) by LA-ICP-MS and Elliptic Fourier analysis were integrated to evaluate spatial segregation of adult and juvenile stages of Genidens barbus from specimens collected from five coastal areas off Brazil (Paraiba do Sul River, Guanabara Bay, Itapanhau River mouth, Paranagua Bay)

Otolith edge fingerprints as approach for stock identification of Genidens barbus [PDF]
Abstract The purpose of this paper is to assess the use of multi-elemental otolith fingerprints as a tool to delimit catfish Genidens barbus fish stocks in four estuaries from the southwestern Atlantic Ocean. Barium:Calcium (Ca), Magnesium:Ca, Manganese:Ca, Sodium:Ca and Strontium:Ca ratios in the otolith edge were determined by LA-ICPMS. PERMANOVA

Fin spine metals by LA-ICP-MS as a method for fish stock discrimination of Genidens barbus in anthropized estuaries [PDF]
Abstract Metal:Ca ratios (Li:Ca, Cu:Ca, Fe:Ca, Na:Ca, Rb:Ca, Pb:Ca and Zn:Ca) in fin spines of Genidens barbus, an endangered catfish species, were used as possible habitat markers from three Southwestern Atlantic sampling areas (Paranagua estuarine complex, Brazil; Parana River Delta, Argentina-Uruguay; and Negro River, Patagonia).

Fish biodiversity of a tropical estuary under severe anthropic pressure (Doce River, Brazil)
The Doce River has undergone severe changes over the last centuries (e.g., flow regulation, pollution, habitat and species loss). Here, we present the first comprehensive fish biodiversity assessment of the Doce River estuary and a summary of the main ...

Population structure and habitat connectivity of Genidens genidens (Siluriformes) in tropical and subtropical coasts from Southwestern Atlantic [PDF]
We use otolith trace element-to-calcium element concentraton ratios (Ba:Ca, Cu:Ca, Mg:Ca, Mn:Ca, Ni:Ca, Sr:Ca and Zn:Ca) and shape to evaluate the degree of segregation and presence of different nursery areas and fish stocks of Genidens genidens in the ...
