Trends in Medicinal Uses of Edible Wild Vertebrates in Brazil
Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017 The use of food medicines is a widespread practice worldwide. In Brazil, such use is often associated with wild animals, mostly focusing on vertebrate species. Here we assessed taxonomic and ecological trends in traditional uses of wild edible vertebrates in the country, through an extensive ethnobiological database analysis. Our results showed that at

Inferring Diversity and Evolution in Fish by Means of Integrative Molecular Cytogenetics
The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 Fish constitute a paraphyletic and profusely diversified group that has historically puzzled ichthyologists. Hard efforts are necessary to better understand this group, due to its extensive diversity. New species are often identified and it leads to questions about their phylogenetic aspects. Cytogenetics is becoming an important biodiversity‐detection

Migration and Spawning of Radio‐Tagged Zulega Prochilodus argenteus in a Dammed Brazilian River
Transactions of the American Fisheries Society, 2006 AbstractIt is difficult for agencies to evaluate the impacts of the many planned dams on São Francisco River, Brazil, migratory fishes because fish migrations are poorly known. We conducted a study on zulega Prochilodus argenteus, an important commercial and recreational fish in the São Francisco River, to identify migrations and spawning areas and to ...

Latin American Journal of Aquatic Research, 2019 Polyculture systems are integrated cultivation systems where two or more aquatic species are maintained at the same place using locally available ecological resources. The purpose of this study was to analyze the zootechnical performance of curimata-pacu ( Prochilodus argenteus ) when polyculture with canela shrimps ( Macrobrachium acanthurus ) and ...

Journal of Applied Ichthyology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.This study estimated the length–weight relationships (LWRs) of 10 fish species from the middle stretch of the Middle Uruguay River basin, aiming to provide new morphometric data and contribute to the knowledge of Neotropical ichthyofauna. Fish were collected at seven sites with sampling conducted at each site during every season, totaling 84 sampling ...

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

Latin American Journal of Aquatic Research, 2019 Promising species for aquaculture need to have their nutritional requirements defined. Considering that protein is the most expensive macronutrient in aquaculture diets, the present study aimed to estimate the protein requirement of curimata-pacu fed with diets containing two lipid levels.
