Eco-evolutionary factors that influence its demographic oscillations in Prochilodus costatus (Actinopterygii: Characiformes) populations evidenced through a genetic spatial-temporal evaluation. [PDF]
Abstract The human activity impact on wild animal populations is indicated by eco‐evolutionary and demographic processes, along with their survival and capacity to evolve; consequently, such data can contribute toward enhancing genetic‐based conservation programs.

Genetic evaluation of migratory fish: Implications for conservation and stocking programs. [PDF]
We investigated the genetic diversity, population structure, and gene flow (migration) of the Neotropical migratory fish Prochilodus costatus in the Três Marias dam in São Francisco River basin, Brazil. The samples showed low genetic variability, with inbreeding and the presence of only four genetic pools.

Genetic Parameters of Age at Conception in Nellore Females Using Threshold Models. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Age at conception is a critical factor in the intensification of production systems. It is crucial for intensifying production, optimising reproductive efficiency and boosting Nellore female productivity for genetic progress. However, the low heritability estimates currently limit the effectiveness of selection responses, thereby underscoring ...

Antioxidant Defenses in the Kidneys and Heart of the Freshwater Fish Astyanax lacustris Subjected to High (31°C) and Low (15°C) Temperatures. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Aquatic ecosystems have their abiotic and biotic factors constantly altered by various factors. Among them, water temperature is an abiotic factor that can significantly affect fish physiology, increasing energy demand, which can impact homeostasis and survival. Endocrine and metabolic changes and enzymatic modulation are referred to as stress

Distribution modelling for Neotropical freshwater stingrays Potamotrygon brachyura and Potamotrygon motoro (Myliobatiformes, Potamotrygonidae) in the Uruguay River basin. [PDF]
Abstract This study aimed to identify geographical distribution patterns of the giant short‐tailed river stingray Potamotrygon brachyura and the motoro stingray Potamotrygon motoro in the Uruguay River basin. Data on presence/absence of stingrays were based on fishers' knowledge accessed by interviews through expeditions in Brazil, Argentina and ...

A Brief Review on Aflatoxicosis in Aquaculture With a Focus on Fish. [PDF]
Feed quality is among the most determinative criteria for aquaculture success. Along with feed ingredient quality and its production process, feed storage conditions would also affect feed quality, especially in terms of adventitious toxins. Mycotoxins are frequent food and feed contaminants and are considered important health threats to both human and

A meta‐analytic review of monoterpene for fish anaesthesia
Abstract The use of anaesthetic agents has been increasing to address the welfare needs of different fish species in scientific and aquaculture practices. MS‐222 is the most used synthetic anaesthetic but some limitations and side effects have been reported.

A glimpse on influences of feed additives in aquaculture
Schematic diagram of natural feed additives in the aqua sector. Abstract Aquaculture is one of the most developing sectors worldwide, and it contributes to enhancing the global production. The application of natural feed additives is an external source of aquaculture production due to the ban on antibiotics as a growth promotor as well as their harmful

Conservative women in Brazil played a significant role in the 1964 military coup and Bolsonaro's 2018 election victory. Oral history interviews with conservative women who experienced these two significant political events indicate that they both occurred in a climate of heightened anxiety and anti‐modern moral panic, where social order and traditional
