Spread of Amazonian Freshwater Fishes Beyond Their Native Ranges

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 56-67, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The spread and establishment of Amazonian species outside their native ranges through activities such as sport fishing, aquaculture, and the ornamental fish industry may lead to ecological changes in recipient ecosystems. We investigated the global distribution of Amazonian freshwater fish (AFF) and conducted a case study in the upper Paraná ...

Effect of enzymatic complex in the diet of pirarucu, Arapaima gigas juveniles

Acta Amazonica, 2021
The pirarucu, Arapaima gigas is a native, carnivorous fish species from the Amazon basin. As carnivorous fish have low amylase activity, exogenous enzymes can improve the digestibility of carbohydrates in aquaculture feeds. We evaluated the digestibility

Co‐Supplementation of Vitamins C and E Ameliorates Growth, Blood Biochemistry, Histomorphometry and Mucosal Health in Nile Tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus Under High Stocking Density

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 5, Issue 6, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Supplementing diets with vitamins C and E has been reported to reduce the negative effects of stress associated with higher stocking density. This study investigated the combined effects of dietary vitamins C and E on the growth, nutritional composition, haematobiochemical response and mucosal health of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus ...

Amazonian fish migration as a social–cultural–ecological process

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 12, Page 3297-3312, December 2025.
Abstract In this study, we highlight the rich perspectives and explanations of fish migration held by Indigenous groups across the Amazon. We present the aspects of Indigenous cosmological stories, drawing from our exploratory review of cultural ethnographies and grey literature, as well as the authors' own experiences. We ask, how do Amazonian peoples

Seasonal Forest Resources Support Fish Biomass in Floodplain Lakes of an Amazonian Tributary

Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT The Flood Pulse Concept is a foundational ecological theory that emphasizes the critical role of lateral connectivity between a river channel and its floodplain. Many tropical rivers inundate the surrounding floodplain in the flood stage, thereby receiving large amounts of terrestrial organic matter that can be decomposed by microbes and ...

Níveis de proteína bruta para juvenis de pirarucu Crude protein levels for juvenile pirarucu

Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2005
O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito de quatro níveis de proteína sobre o crescimento de juvenis de pirarucu, Arapaima gigas. O experimento foi conduzido em delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com de quatro tratamentos (32,7%, 39,3%, 43,4% e 48,6% de proteína bruta), três repetições cada. Foram utilizados 120 peixes, com peso médio inicial

Hydrological Connectivity Enhances Fish Biodiversity in Amazonian Mining Ponds: Insights From eDNA and Traditional Sampling

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 11, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Artisanal and small‐scale gold mining (ASGM) expansion in the Madre de Dios region of the Peruvian Amazon has transformed primary forests into a novel wetland complex of thousands of abandoned mining ponds. Despite their ecological relevance, post‐mining recovery of these systems remains understudied, particularly regarding fish biodiversity ...

Impact of Vitamin C on Growth, Haemato‐Immunological Characteristics and Stress Tolerance Capability of Climbing Perch, Anabas testudineus (Bloch, 1792)

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 5, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Climbing perch, Anabas testudineus, were fed four diets: D0, D500, D1000 and D1500, containing 0, 500, 1000 and 1500 mg of vitamin C per kg of basal diet, respectively, over 70 days. After the growth trial, significantly higher final weight, percent body weight (%WG) and specific growth rate (SGR) were observed in fish fed D1000 followed by ...
