Stingers in a strange land: South American freshwater stingrays (Potamotrygonidae) in Singapore
Biological Invasions, 2009South American freshwater stingrays of the family Potamotrygonidae have long been popular worldwide as ornamentals in the aquarium trade. Despite this, there have so far not been any reported cases of their establishment elsewhere in the world. Here, we document the ocellate river stingray, Potamotrygon motoro, as having established itself in Singapore.

The gill morphologies of six species of potamotrygonid freshwater stingrays from the Amazon basin were investigated using light and electron microscopy. Some unique features were found in the potamotrygonid gill: (1) fingerlike protuberances on the gill filament, (2) an Alcian blue/periodic acid-Schiff-positive histochemical reaction for several cell ...

A new genus and species of neotropical freshwater stingray are described from the upper and mid-Amazon drainage, in Ecuador and Brazil (Rio Napo and Rio Solimbes). The new taxa are characterized by a long filiform tail, reduced eyes, and low number of pectoral-fin radials.

Potamotrygonidae is the representative family of South American freshwater elasmobranchs. It is a monophyletic group containing 20 species grouped into three genera. Three species belonging to two genera of this family were collected from the middle Negro River, Amazonas, Brazil, and studied cytogenetically: Paratrygon aiereba, Potamotrygon motoro and ...

The mechanosensory system in batoids has a unique sensory canal distribution located on both dorsal and ventral surfaces of the body. Due to the opposite position of eyes and mouth, ventral lateral-line canals are essential to detect and capture prey buried in the substrate.

Clasper gland morphology and development in Potamotrygon magdalenae and its relation with the acquisition of reproductive maturity is described in males of different developmental stages (embryos, neonates, juveniles, and reproductively active and resting adults). The glands are subcutaneous masses in the proximal base of each clasper.

5S rDNA genes of the stingray Potamotrygon motoro were PCR replicated, purified, cloned and sequenced. Two distinct classes of segments of different sizes were obtained. The smallest, with 342 bp units, was classified as class I, and the largest, with 1900 bp units, was designated as class II.

Abstract Potamotrygon marquesi, sp. nov., is described and compared with other species of Potamotrygon occurring in the Amazon Basin. The identity of this new species is supported by an extensive external and internal morphological study including coloration pattern, squamation, skeleton and ventral lateral‐line canals. Morphometrics and meristics were

ABSTRACT This work aimed to describe and quantify the tissue components of the digestive tube of the neotropical freshwater stingray, Potamotrygon wallacei . For this, conventional histology and stereological methods were used to estimate tissue volume.
