Length‒Weight and Length‒Length Relationships of Freshwater Fish Species Caught by Professional Fishermen in the Itaipu Reservoir, Brazil

Journal of Applied Ichthyology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Length‒weight relationships (LWRs) and length‒length relationships (LLRs) were estimated for 63 and 58 freshwater fish species, respectively, captured in the Itaipu Reservoir, Paraná River Basin, Paraná State, Brazil. Sampling was carried out from March 1987 to July 2024 at 63 professional fishing sites within the reservoir’s area of influence ...

Serum chemistry, thyroxine concentration, and blood cell morphology of wild, young Blackchin Guitarfish Glaucostegus cemiculus sampled on the eastern Mediterranean coastline

Journal of Aquatic Animal Health, Volume 36, Issue 3, Page 281-299, September 2024.
Abstract Objective The Blackchin Guitarfish Glaucostegus cemiculus is endemic to the Mediterranean Sea and is critically endangered, but relevant routine laboratory data are unavailable. Our objectives were to determine the packed cell volume (PCV), comprehensive serum chemistry analytes, and serum total thyroxine (sTT4) concentration; compare serum ...

Morfometria de raias continentais (Chondrichthyes, Potamotrygonidae) do alto rio Paraná, Brasil = Morphometry of upper Paraná river freshwater stingrays (Chondrichthyes, Potamotrygonidae)

Acta Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2007
Potamotrygonidae constitui o único grupo recente de Chondrichthyes cujo habitat está restrito, exclusivamente, a águas continentais. Na planície de inundação do Alto rio Paraná, espécies desta família estabeleceram-se após o fechamento das comportas da ...

A Severe Accident Caused by an Ocellate River Stingray (Potamotrygon motoro) in Central Brazil: How Well Do We Really Understand Stingray Venom Chemistry, Envenomation, and Therapeutics?

Toxins, 2015
Freshwater stingrays cause many serious human injuries, but identification of the offending species is uncommon. The present case involved a large freshwater stingray, Potamotrygon motoro (Chondrichthyes: Potamotrygonidae), in the Araguaia River in ...

Electroreception in the obligate freshwater stingray, Potamotrygon motoro [PDF]

Marine and Freshwater Research, 2015
Elasmobranch fishes use electroreception to detect electric fields in the environment, particularly minute bioelectric fields of potential prey. A single family of obligate freshwater stingrays, Potamotrygonidae, endemic to the Amazon River, demonstrates morphological adaptations of their electrosensory system due to characteristics of a high impedance

From historical expedition diaries to whole genome sequencing: A case study of the likely extinct Red Sea torpedo ray

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 53, Issue 1, Page 32-51, January 2024.
Abstract Torpedo rays (Torpedinidae, Torpediniformes) are small to moderately large batoids that produce an electric discharge. They are distributed worldwide in temperate and tropical seas and are, as a result of their bottom‐dwelling behaviour, susceptible to trawl fishing and often end up as victims of bycatch.

Stirring, charging, and picking: hunting tactics of potamotrygonid rays in the upper Paraná River

Neotropical Ichthyology
Hunting tactics of potamotrygonid freshwater rays remain unreported under natural conditions. Three main foraging tactics of Potamotrygon falkneri and P. motoro are described here based on underwater observations in the upper Paraná River.

Morphology of lateral line canals in Neotropical freshwater stingrays (Chondrichthyes: Potamotrygonidae) from Negro River, Brazilian Amazon

Neotropical Ichthyology
The relationship between the distribution of the lateral line canals and their functionality has not been well examined in elasmobranchs, especially among Neotropical freshwater stingrays of the family Potamotrygonidae.

Activity and habitat use of two species of stingrays (Myliobatiformes: Potamotrygonidae) in the upper Paraná River basin, Southeastern Brazil

Neotropical Ichthyology
The life history of freshwater stingrays (Potamotrygonidae) under natural conditions has been poorly documented. In this study, we investigated theperiod of activity and the habitat use of two species of the genus Potamotrygon in the upper Paraná River ...
