Criopreservation of Pacu sperm (Piaractus mesopotamicus, Holmberg, 1887) [PDF]
Abstract Due to the absence of effective cryopreservation methods for oocytes in fish, there has been a significant focus on protocols for the cryopreservation of male gametes to maintain genetic diversity in captive populations. This study evaluated the efficiency of various penetrating cryoprotectants that may lead to better conservation of ...

Expression of cellular components in granulomatous inflammatory response in Piaractus mesopotamicus model. [PDF]
The present study aimed to describe and characterize the cellular components during the evolution of chronic granulomatous inflammation in the teleost fish pacus (P. mesopotamicus) induced by Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG), using S-100, iNOS and cytokeratin antibodies. 50 fish (120±5.0 g) were anesthetized and 45 inoculated with 20 μL (40 mg/mL) (2.0 x
