Analysis of the trophy sport fishery for the speckled peacock bass in the Rio Negro River, Brazil

Fisheries Management and Ecology, 2008
Abstract The middle portion of the Rio Negro River in Brazil near the equator supports a popular recreational sport fishery for speckled peacock bass,Cichla temensis(Humboldt). The objective of this study was to determine the effect of fishing mortality on this population. Fish were collected from sport‐fishing (n = 72) and commercial (n = 103) catches

Microsatellite markers for the Amazon peacock bass (Cichla piquiti)

Molecular Ecology Resources, 2009
AbstractA set of primers to amplify 10 microsatellite DNA loci was developed for the Neotropical fish Cichla piquiti, one of the largest sized cichlids in the Amazon Basin. These loci were used to genotype individuals from two populations, one native population from the Tocantins River, the other an introduced population in southeast Brazil, Upper ...

Effects of Temperature on Growth of Juvenile Speckled Peacock Bass Cichla temensis

North American Journal of Aquaculture, 2022
Abstract The Speckled Peacock Bass Cichla temensis is a popular sport and food fish with potential for aquaculture. The species is reported to be sensitive to temperature extremes and low dissolved oxygen, but the growth response to these variables has not been evaluated.

Systematics, biogeography, and evolution of the Neotropical peacock basses Cichla (Perciformes: Cichlidae)

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2007
To investigate forces influencing diversification in Neotropical fishes, the phylogenetic relationships among species and populations of the cichlid genus Cichla were examined. Mitochondrial DNA was sequenced for 454 individuals of the 5 nominal Cichla species and several putative undescribed species.

Reproductive biology of the peacock bass Cichla piquiti (Perciformes: Cichlidae), an exotic species in a Neotropical reservoir [PDF]

Neotropical Ichthyology, 2009
To analyze the reproductive biology of the peacock bass Cichla piquiti, 361 specimens were collected bimonthly in the Itumbiara Reservoir, southeast Brazil, from December 2004 to November 2005. Males and females in reproductive activity occurred during almost the entire year, with reproductive peak occurring before the beginning of the rains when the ...

Equilibrium reproductive strategy of the peacock bass Cichla kelberi facilitates invasion into a Neotropical reservoir

Journal of Fish Biology, 2020
AbstractThe reproductive strategy of the non‐native predator cichlid Cichla kelberi was determined to explain its success after more than 60 years of being introduced into an isolated reservoir in southeastern Brazil. This was one of the first‐known translocations of the genus Cichla out of its natural range.

Global distribution of the South American peacock bassesCichlaspp. follows human interference

Fish and Fisheries, 2021
AbstractSouth American peacock basses (genusCichla) have been widely introduced within and outside the Neotropical region due to their importance to fisheries, despite threats to the native fish fauna. We performed a literature review on the worldwide distribution of validCichlaspecies by focusing on records of species richness and populations in their

Abundance of invasive peacock bass increases with water residence time of reservoirs in southeastern Brazil

Hydrobiologia, 2017
Neotropical freshwater ecosystems are experiencing a great expansion in the number of invasive species, which is especially alarming since this region harbours 30% of the world’s fish biodiversity with high levels of endemism. We aimed to evaluate the main predictors of peacock basses (Cichla spp.) abundance outside their native range, which are the ...

Evaluation of the Ecological Compatibility of Butterfly Peacock Cichlids and Largemouth Bass in Puerto Rico Reservoirs

Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, 2006
AbstractIntroduction of peacock cichlids Cichla spp. into tropical and subtropical systems where they can successfully overwinter and reproduce has been a common practice in fisheries management. We evaluated the compatibility of nonnative butterfly peacock cichlids Cichla ocellaris and largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides in Puerto Rico reservoirs ...

Cichla cataractae (Cichliformes: Cichlidae), new species of peacock bass from the Essequibo Basin, Guyana and Venezuela

Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, 2020
A new species of peacock bass, Cichla cataractae, is distinguished from all congeners by molecular evidence and unique patterns of adult and juvenile pigmentation. Juveniles (
