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.

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

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 ...

Recognition of non-native peacock bass, Cichla kelberi by native prey: testing the naiveté hypothesis

Biological Invasions, 2010
Prey naivete is proposed as one of the main reasons behind species extinctions attributed to invasive predators. This study examined whether the naivete hypothesis could explain extinctions after the introduction of peacock bass (Cichla kelberi) in Parana River, Brazil.

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 ...

Trophic interaction between an introduced (peacock bass) and a native (dogfish) piscivorous fish in a Neotropical impounded river

Hydrobiologia, 2008
In order to investigate trophic interactions, the diets of peacock bass (Cichla kelberi) and dogfish (Galeocharax knerii) were studied in the Corumba Reservoir between 1997 and 2000. This dietary study was performed to assess the niche breadth of each species and to determine the degree of niche overlap during different phases of reservoir colonization.

Comparison of Pulsed Gastric Lavage and Acrylic Stomach Tubes for Sampling the Diet of Butterfly Peacock Bass

Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, 2016
AbstractNonlethal techniques for sampling the stomach contents of fishes have been developed for a variety of fish species. The goal of this study was to determine whether pulsed gastric lavage or acrylic stomach tubes were more effective for extracting stomach contents from Butterfly Peacock Bass Cichla ocellaris, specifically which was least ...

When a freshwater invader meets the estuary: the peacock bass and fish assemblages in the São João River, Brazil

Biological Invasions, 2020
Peacock basses (Cichla spp.) are native to the Amazon basin but introduced to different parts of the world. Almost thirty years ago, Cichla kelberi was introduced in an impoundment of the Sao Joao River, a coastal system in southeastern Brazil. Recently, this cichlid invaded the estuarine section of the basin.
