Synthesis of Arapaima gigas Growth Hormone (ag-GH) in HEK 293 Cells: Its Purification and Characterization via In Vivo Bioassay in Dwarf “Little” Mice [PDF]
Arapaima gigas growth hormone (ag-GH) cDNA was previously cloned from A. gigas pituitaries. In this work ag-GH has been synthesized using human embryonic kidney 293 cells (HEK293) transiently transfected with the 3.4-TOPO® vector carrying ag-GH cDNA. The

Pirarucu: reprodução e novas tecnologias de cultivo
A proposta desta revisão é realizar uma sinopse sobre o potencial da produção de pirarucu Arapaima gigas através da aquicultura. O pirarucu é considerado um dos principais produtos pesqueiros da bacia hidrográfica do rio Amazonas. Os cientistas estão preocupados com o declínio do pirarucu na natureza.

Combined osmotic dehydration and drying process of pirarucu (Arapaima gigas) fillets. [PDF]
The osmotic dehydration (OD) and complementary drying of pirarucu (Arapaima gigas) fillets were studied. Pieces of the dorsal portion of pirarucu (60 mm × 20 mm × 10 mm) underwent OD in a binary solution (NaCl-water) with the application of vacuum pulse following a central rotatable composite design.
