First Record of Partial Xanthism in Bronze Featherback Notopterus synurus (Osteoglossiformes: Notopteridae)

Ecology, Environment and Conservation, 2022
We report the first occurrence of partial xanthism in Notopterus synurus (Bloch and Schneider 1801), collected from West Bengal, India, in May 2018. The specimen has yellow colouration on the dorsal portion, head and fins, except for a white ventral region, melanophores on the pectoral fin base and black eyes.

Analysis of Digestive Enzymes Concentration in Gut of Juvenile and Adult Group of Notopterus notopterus (Notopteridae; Osteoglossiformes)

Philippine Journal of Science, 2023
Analyzing digestive enzyme concentration in the gut is important to know about the digestive physiology of fish. Therefore, we determined concentrations of protease, lipase, and amylase enzyme in gut extracts of juvenile and adult groups of Notopterus notopterus relative to total body length (TBL), body weight (W), gut length (GL), relative gut length (

Integrative taxonomy of the featherback fish genus Chitala (Osteoglossomorpha: Notopteridae) in Peninsular Malaysia

open access: yesZoologica Scripta
The taxonomy of the freshwater featherback fish genus Chitala (Osteoglossomorpha: Notopteridae) remains unsettled because delimiting and naming Chitala species based solely on morphology led to different hypotheses. In this study, we aim to determine the

The novel ‘tongue-bite apparatus’ in the knifefish family Notopteridae (Teleostei: Osteoglossomorpha): are kinematic patterns conserved within a clade? [PDF]

open access: yesZoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2001
Osteoglossomorph fishes are unique in possessing a specialized feeding mechanism, the tongue-bite apparatus (TBA) involving the hyoid apparatus. The TBA is associated with two unique behaviour patterns – raking and open-mouth chewing – used to disable and macerate prey.

Olfactory Sensory Neuron Morphotypes in the Featherback Fish, Notopterus notopterus (Osteoglossiformes: Notopteridae). [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Neurosciences, 2014
As in other vertebrates, olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) in fishes are the main components of sensory part of olfactory epithelium that relay olfactory information (smell and taste) to the brain.Objective of the present study was to analyze if any polymorphism occurs in the OSNs in a featherback fish, Notopterus notopterus as far as the teleost ...

Organization of the ampullary organs of the African knife fishXenomystus nigri (Teleostei: Notopteridae)

Journal of Neurocytology, 1987
Ampullary organs are found on the head and body of the African knife fish Xenomystus nigri. Each organ consists of a duct connecting the basally located sensory cells with the surrounding water. The sensory epithelium is found in a chamber situated in the basal part of the epidermis, which most often is somewhat depressed into the dermis.

Biological parameters of the endangered fish Chitala chitala (Osteoglossiformes: Notopteridae) from some Indian rivers

Fisheries Research, 2008
Abstract Age, growth and maturity data of the freshwater feather back Chitala chitala (Hamilton-Buchanan, 1822) were collected from ten different geographical locations. Out of ten populations, maximum 6+ ages were recorded from four river basins namely river Bhagirathi, Koshi, Saryu and Ganga and the back calculated lengths at 6+ ages ranged from ...
