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 ...

Resource Partitioning between Two Piranhas (Serrasalmus gibbus and Serrasalmus rhombeus) in an Amazonian Reservoir

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
The exploitation of resources by closely related species with similar niches may be mediated by differences in activity patterns, which may vary in nycthemeral scale and seasonal scale. Piranhas Serrasalmus gibbus and Serrasalmus rhombeus are Neotropical predators that occur sympatrically in many environments of the Amazon basin.

Genetic characterization of native and invasive Plagioscion squamosissimus (Perciformes, Sciaenidae) populations in Brazilian hydrographic basins

Genetics and Molecular Research, 2015
The genetic diversity of invasive and native populations of Plagioscion squamosissimus (Heckel, 1840) from the Paraná, Parnaiba and Araguaia-Tocantins river basins was assessed by using Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers. Genetic data confirmed the hypothesis of low genetic variability within and among P.

Anthropogenic Factors Drive the Depletion of Fish Functional Β Diversity Within and Outside Two National Reserves in the Peruvian Amazon

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Understanding the impact of human activities on fish communities is critical for the effective conservation of Amazonian ecosystems. In this study, we sampled environmental DNA (eDNA) from 17 sites (lakes and rivers) in two Peruvian national reserves, Pacaya‐Samiria and Allpahuayo‐Mishana, using a metabarcoding approach with four genetic ...

Wild Animals Used as Food Medicine in Brazil

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
The connection between eating and healing is common in traditional folk medical systems, and the multiple possibilities resulting from the combination of biodiversity and culture confer a wealth and complexity in terms of knowledge of the flora and fauna as to their potential as food medicine.

Investigation into the cytotoxicity and mutagenicity of the Marajó Archipelago waters using Plagioscion squamosissimus (Perciformes: Sciaenidae) as a bioindicator

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2016
Maintaining water quality within tolerable limits is a basic need of the riverside communities in the Amazon. Using endemic aquatic organisms as biological models is useful for monitoring the environment. In this study, potential cytotoxic and genotoxic damages in Plagioscion squamosissimus (commonly known as silver croaker) from the Marajó Archipelago

Ichthyofauna Used in Traditional Medicine in Brazil

Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Fish represent the group of vertebrates with the largest number of species and the largest geographic distribution; they are also used in different ways by modern civilizations. The goal of this study was to compile the current knowledge on the use of ichthyofauna in zootherapeutic practices in Brazil, including ecological and conservational commentary

An Assessment of the Fish Maw Trade in Singapore and Malaysia Reveals Threatened Species and Highlights the Need for a More Complete Assessment of the Conservation Status of the World's Fishes

Conservation Letters, Volume 18, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
ABSTRACT Fish maw, the dried swim bladder of teleost fish, is consumed throughout much of East and Southeast Asia. The serving of maw is seen as an indicator of wealth, prestige, and status in Chinese culture. While Hong Kong and mainland China are considered major fish maw importers, its trade in these countries remains largely understudied. This lack

The Length–Weight Relationship in Food Fish Species From the Upper Putumayo River Basin, Colombia

Journal of Applied Ichthyology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
The length–weight relationship (LWR) in fish is an important tool because it allows understanding aspects such as growth assessment, body condition, and biomass estimation. The aim of this study was to determine the LWR of food fish species from the Amazonian plain of the Putumayo River caught by artisanal fisheries to be sold in the town of Puerto ...
