Chromosomal characterization of three species of Serrasalmini (Serrasalmidae: Characiformes) [PDF]
The tribe Serrasalmini is a diverse group with paraphyletic genera and taxonomic uncertainties. Several studies have been carried out in this group of fish in order to understand this problem, including the cytogenetic approach.

Phylogeny of the Serrasalmidae (Characiformes) based on mitochondrial DNA sequences [PDF]
Previous studies based on DNA sequences of mitochondrial (mt) rRNA genes showed three main groups within the subfamily Serrasalminae: (1) a "pacu" clade of herbivores (Colossoma, Mylossoma, Piaractus); (2) the "Myleus" clade (Myleus, Mylesinus, Tometes ...

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