Predation on pirarucu larvae by opportunistic fish species
One of the constraints in pirarucu, Arapaima gigas farming is the reproduction in captivity, due to inconsistent number of spawning events per reproductive cycle, thus, unreliable availability of juvenile fish. This is a first-hand report on predation of

Ammonia Increases the Stress of the Amazonian Giant Arapaima gigas in a Climate Change Scenario [PDF]
Ammonia is toxic to fish, and when associated with global warming, it can cause losses in aquaculture. In this study, we investigated the physiological and zootechnical responses of Arapaima gigas to the current scenarios and to RCP8.5, a scenario ...

Global Research Trends of Black Soldier Fly Larvae (<i>Hermetia illucens</i>) Meal in Aquaculture From a Scientometric Perspective (2007-2025). [PDF]
Black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens) meal (BSFLM) has gained increasing attention over the past two decades as a sustainable and functional ingredient in aquafeeds. This study presents the first scientometric analysis of BSFLM research in aquaculture from 2007 to 2025, using data from Scopus and Web of Science (WOS).

Physiological responses of pirarucu (Arapaima gigas) to acute handling stress Resposta fisiológica de estresse em pirarucu (Arapaima gigas) submetido ao manuseio [PDF]
Pirarucu (Arapaima gigas) is an obligatory air-breathing fish from the Amazon basin. Previous study showed that pirarucu juveniles present a latency period in their response to moderate stress (transportation).

Characterization of fish-specific IFNγ-related binding with a unique receptor complex and signaling through a novel pathway. [PDF]
Unique signaling mechanisms of fish‐specific isoforms of IFNγ, IFNγrel 1, from the Ginbuna crucian carp have been identified. Monomeric ligand phosphorylates STAT6 and induces transcriptional activation by binding to the unique pair of receptors, Crfb5 (IFNAR1) and Crfb17 (IFNGR1‐1).
