Bite force mechanics and allometry of piranha (Serrasalmidae)

open access: yesJournal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, 2021
The bite force of the piranha (Serrasalmidae) has drawn considerable attention due to its ability to effectively capture and masticate prey. Herein, we analyze theoretical anterior bite forces using a lever approach and compare them to in-vivo maximum bite forces.

Tooth and consequences: Heterodonty and dental replacement in piranhas and pacus (Serrasalmidae)

open access: yesEvolution & Development, 2019
AbstractTooth replacement in piranhas is unusual: all teeth on one side of the head are lost as a unit, then replaced simultaneously. We used histology and microCT to examine tooth‐replacement modes across carnivorous piranhas and their herbivorous pacu cousins (Serrasalmidae) and then mapped replacement patterns onto a molecular phylogeny.

The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Colossoma macropomum (Characiformes: Serrasalmidae)

Mitochondrial DNA Part A, 2015
Colossoma macropomum (Cuvier, 1816) is the largest characin of South America. This species and its congeners mainly feed on zooplankton, insects, snails and decaying plants. In this paper, we sequenced and annotated the complete mitogenome of C. macropomum. The total length is 16,703 bp, and it typically consist of 37 genes, including 13 protein-coding

Antioxidant processes of the wild tambaqui, Colossoma macropomum (Osteichthyes, Serrasalmidae) from the Amazon

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Endocrinology, 1999
Colossoma macropomum, locally called tambaqui, is a freshwater migratory teleost that shows good tolerance to oxygen and pH changes in water, and both chemical-physical parameters change markedly during the day time and seasonal water level oscillations in the Amazon Basin.

How was a Pirapitinga, Piaractus brachypomus (Serrasalmidae) introduced in Croatian freshwaters?

2011
In the last week of July 2010, were caught accidentally two adult individuals of pirapitinga Piaractus brachypomus (Cuvier, 1818) in the Croatian waters. The first individual was caught in the main river channel of the Drava River (45°37’24”N; 18°33’15”E), 12 km upstream of the City of Osijek. The second individual was caught in the main channel of the

Microstructural and compositional variation in pacu and piranha teeth related to diet specialization (Teleostei: Serrasalmidae)

Journal of Structural Biology, 2020
In any vertebrate group, tooth shape is known to fit with a biological function related to diet. However, little is known about the relationships between diet and tooth microstructure and composition in teleost fishes. In this work, we describe the external morphology, internal microstructure and elemental composition of the oral teeth of three ...
