Clarifying species boundaries between bocachico (Prochilodus magdalenae) and bocachico de Maracaibo (Prochilodus reticulatus) (characiformes: Prochilodontidae) using complete mitochondrial genomes [PDF]

Frontiers in Genetics
The accurate phylogenetic distinction between Prochilodus magdalenae and Prochilodus reticulatus (Characiformes: Prochilodontidae) has been hindered by overlapping morphology and limited sequence data.

Estimation of growth parameters of five fish species (Actinopterygii) caught in the central Amazon [PDF]

Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 2018
For some tropical fishes, the information on growth parameters is still scarce, and few or no records are available in FishBase. Therefore, the objective of this study was to estimate the growth curves for Brycon amazonicus (Spix et Agassiz, 1829 ...

Hybridization, Maternal Inheritance, and Evolutionary Time of Divergence of Endangered Species of <i>Hypancistrus</i> (Siluriformes: Loricariidae) in the Xingu River. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We uncover recent hybridization dynamics among three endemic Hypancistrus species from the Xingu River, including the critically endangered H. zebra. Mitogenomic analyses reveal unidirectional maternal inheritance and recent evolutionary radiation (< 0.5 Ma), explaining their retained reproductive compatibility.

Integrative Taxonomy of Tereancistrum spp. (Monopisthocotyla: Dactylogyridae) Parasites of the Gills of Freshwater Fishes from the Caatinga Domain, Brazil [PDF]

Pathogens
Tereancistrum is a common genus of Neotropical monopisthocotylans; however, information on its diversity and phylogeny remains limited. In this study, we describe four new species of Tereancistrum parasitizing the gills of Prochilodus brevis ...

Morphological and Histometric Alterations in Gonadal and Neural Tissues of Native and Non-Native Fishes From the Lower Doce River Basin in Southeastern Brazil. [PDF]

Anat Histol Embryol
ABSTRACT The ichthyofauna of the lower Doce River basin has been exposed to multiple anthropogenic stressors. Among these, the collapse of the Fundão mining tailings dam in Mariana, Minas Gerais, Brazil, in 2015 resulted in massive fish mortality and widespread contamination of aquatic environments.

A fractal pattern of hierarchical genetic population structure in mixed stocks across fish segregated by dams revealed by genomic resources for curimba Prochilodus lineatus. [PDF]

J Fish Biol
Abstract Genomic resources, new microsatellite markers and a novel observation of a fractal pattern in the genetic population structure are presented for curimba, Prochilodus lineatus, a freshwater migratory model species of South America. Our main goals were to investigate the presence of mixed fish stocks and the effects of damming‐induced ...
