The possibility of the use of electropherogrames of plasma proteins in polyacrylamide slab gel in the study of populations of marine cat-fishes was examined. A total of 176 samples of plasma from four species. Sciadeichtys luniscutis.

Length-weight relationships of marine fishes from the central Brazilian coast [PDF]
Parameters of the length-weight relationship are presented for 85 fish species from the marine and estuarine regions of the central Brazilian coast (latitude 13° to 23° S). Three different methods were used. A non-linear iterative process using the quasi-

On the myology of the cephalic region and pectoral girdle of three arid species, Arius heudeloti, Genidens genidens and Bagre marinus, and comparison with other catfishes (Teleostei: Siluriformes) [PDF]
The muscles of the cephalic region and pectoral girdle of Arius heudeloti, Genidens genidens and Bagre marinus are described and compared with those of non-ariid siluriforms.

Antagonistic Rewiring and Turnover Patterns in a Neotropical Fish–Parasite Metanetwork
ABSTRACT Integrating beta‐diversity and network analyses is an emerging approach for understanding the spatial structure of species communities. For instance, although the presence of hosts affects parasite species distribution, environmental factors can either restrict or promote the occurrence of certain parasite species by changing the abundance of ...

Tissue-specific mercury concentrations in two catfish species from the Brazilian coast
Some regions of Brazil have particularly high levels of mercury (Hg) emissions due to industrial activities, and their fish species may therefore suffer high levels of contamination through bioaccumulation. In this paper we assess Hg contamination in the

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

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)

Assessing Fish Community Structure and Diversity Across Environmental Gradients in a Tropical Bay
ABSTRACT Understanding the relationship between species distribution and the environment across spatial gradients is crucial for biodiversity evaluation. We surveyed fish populations in a tropical bay, covering a spatial gradient from the outer zone with favorable marine conditions to the inner zone affected by human activities.

The marine catfish Genidens barbus (Ariidae) fisheries in the state of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil: diagnosis and management suggestions [PDF]
In this study we analyzed data on fishing landings of Genidens barbus in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, from 2000 to 2014. An estimation of the total production was obtained through the analysis of 781,856 landings, among which 87% were categorized as artisanal and 13% as industrial. The abundance index showed some stability in the period.
