Does invasion by armored catfish shift trophic ecology of native fishes? Evidence from stable isotope analysis

Ecology, Volume 104, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Popular as aquarium fish, armored catfishes from South America (Pterygoplichthys spp.) have been introduced and become invasive in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. These ecosystem engineers can deplete basal resources (e.g., periphyton and detritus), with potential negative effects for native fauna. We studied the trophic ecology of

Biotreatment of sugar industry effluent using the tank cleaner, Pterygoplichthys pardalis [PDF]

World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews, 2019
Wastewater can be considered as a precious resource that can be used to fulfill our growing demands of water. In the present study, physico-chemical parameters of the sugar industry effluent were analyzed. The sailfin catfish, Pterygoplichthys pardalis were exposed to 10, 20, 30 and 40 % concentrations of sugar industry effluent for 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 ...

Changing community dynamics and climate alter invasion risk of freshwater fishes historically found in invasion pathways of the Laurentian Great Lakes

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 8, Page 1620-1634, August 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim Here, we use an integrative, comprehensive risk assessment framework as a screening tool to evaluate how the invasion risk of previously failed introduced freshwater fish species, commonly found in the live‐trade pathway, will change under future climate‐change scenarios. Location Laurentian Great Lakes, North America.

Structural comparison of the haemoglobin components of the armoured catfish Pterygoplichthys pardalis. Evolutionary considerations. [PDF]

Biochem J, 1982
Amino acid analyses and peptide mapping were performed for the four main haemoglobins from the armoured catfish Pterygoplichthys pardalis; component I, which is functionally distinct from the others, is structurally unique, whereas components II, III and IV, functionally indistinguishable, are closely related in structure.

BONE FLOUR FROM SUCKERMOUTH FISH (Pterygoplichthys pardalis) AND TILAPIA FISH (Oreochromis mossambicus)

International Journal of Biosciences and Biotechnology, 2021
Fish is often used as a protein source in food. Fish has good nutritional content for the body such as protein, vitamin, mineral, and unsaturated fatty acid. Pterygoplichthys pardalis and Oreochromis mossambicus are some of the local fishes that are frequently found in a river in Indonesia, also Asia. People use their meat as food.
