Water pH and Prochilodus lineatus larvae survival

Fish Physiology and Biochemistry, 2008
The present study aimed to determine the influence of water pH on survival of curimbatá, Prochilodus lineatus, larvae. Forty-five 2-l glass aquaria with artificial aeration and no water exchange were stocked at a density of 10 larvae l(-1). The pH values used as treatments were 3.7 +/- 0.0, 4.0 +/- 0.0, 4.4 +/- 0.2, 4.6 +/- 0.2, 4.8 +/- 0.2, 5.1 +/- 0 ...

Extenders and Cryosolutions for Grumatã (Prochilodus Vimboides) Sperm Preservation

Cryoletters, 2022
BACKGROUND: Prochilodus vimboides populations are being reduced in rivers due to changes in their habitat, overfishing, urbanization, and pollution. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of sperm extender solutions for short-term storage and cryosolutions for freezing sperm of Prochilodus vimboides . MATERIALS AND METHODS:For short-term storage, the sperm

Genotoxic effects of Roundup® on the fish Prochilodus lineatus

Mutation Research/Genetic Toxicology and Environmental Mutagenesis, 2008
Glyphosate-based herbicides, such as Roundup, represent the most extensively used herbicides worldwide, including Brazil. Despite its extensive use, the genotoxic effects of this herbicide are not completely understood and studies with Roundup show conflicting results with regard to the effects of this product on the genetic material.

Generation of reactive oxygen species by leukocytes of Prochilodus lineatus

Fish Physiology and Biochemistry, 2013
Prochilodus lineatus (curimbatá), from the Procholodontidae family, is a Brazilian freshwater fish, which is important commercially, nutritionally and ecologically. It is encountered in the Rio da Prata Bay in Southern South America. Studies on the immune system of this fish are scarce, but the physiological mechanisms of the species are analogous to ...

Acute effects of diflubenzuron on the freshwater fish Prochilodus lineatus

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Toxicology & Pharmacology, 2008
The effects of diflubenzuron (DFB), an insecticide to control ectoparasites in fish farms, on muscle acetylcholinesterase (AChE), detoxifying and antioxidant enzymes, hematological and physiological parameters, and liver histopathology were evaluated in Prochilodus lineatus after 6, 24 and 96 h of exposure to 25 mg L(-1) of DFB.

Description and comparison of two economically important fish species mitogenomes: Prochilodus argenteus and Prochilodus costatus (Characiformes, Prochilodontidae)

Mitochondrial DNA Part A, 2015
Prochilodus spp. are important Brazilian freshwater migratory fishes with substantial economic and ecological importance. Prochilodus argenteus and Prochilodus costatus are morphologically similar and a molecular species delimitation is impaired due to high degree of sequence identity among the available genetic markers.

Induced breeding of the sabalo, Prochilodus platensis Holmberg

Aquaculture, 1984
Abstract Maturation and ovulation were induced in female Prochilodus platensis with multiple homologous pituitary extract injections (total dose 0.9 to 1.4 hypophysis/kg) or single injections of pituitary extract combined with human chorionic gonadotrophin ((1 hypophysis + 500 I.U.)/kg). One of the females given the latter treatment produced viable

Interaction of non-ionic surfactants with hepatic CYP in Prochilodus scrofa

Toxicology in Vitro, 2004
Cytochromes P450 (CYP) constitute a superfamily of hemeproteins that play a vital role in the metabolism of a wide variety of endogenous and xenobiotic compounds. Xenobiotic metabolism and the role of CYP are of particular interest in studies regarding the prevention of the damage caused by chemical pollutants.

Biomarkers of waterborne copper exposure in the Neotropical fish Prochilodus lineatus

Aquatic Toxicology, 2016
The main goal of the present study was to investigate the effects of acute exposure to copper (Cu) using a Neotropical freshwater fish as sentinel species through multi biomarkers analysis at different biological levels. Juveniles of Prochilodus lineatus were kept under control condition (no Cu addition in the water) or exposed to environmentally ...

Storage and transportation of Prochilodus lineatus (Characiformes) sperm prior to cryopreservation

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2017
In this study we compared post-thaw quality of P. lineatus sperm frozen shortly after collection, with sperm frozen after dilution and transportation, and up to 6h from collection. From each sperm sample (n=10 males) five aliquots were taken. One aliquot was diluted in the freezing medium (1 sperm:8 glucose:1 methyl glycol) and frozen ∼20min after ...
