A Comparative Cytogenetic Study of Five Piranha Species (Serrasalmus, Serrasalminae) from the Amazon Basin [PDF]
Cytogenetic studies were conducted on five piranha species belonging to the genus Serrasalmus, subfamily Serrasalminae (Serrasalmus altispinis, S. compressus, S. elongatus, S. manuelli, and S. spilopleura). All the species were collected in the Amazon basin: confluence of Negro and Solimões Rivers (CatalãoLake), Solimões River (Marchantaria Island ...

Chromosomal polymorphism inSerrasalmus spilopleuraKner, 1858 (Characidae, Serrasalminae) from Central Amazon Basin [PDF]
Abstract Cytogenetic studies were performed in Serrasalmus spilopleura, a piranha species, from three sampling sites in the Central Amazon basin: 1. Catalao; 2. Manacapuru, 3. Itacoatiara. All specimens displayed 2n = 60 chromosomes and no sexual chromosomal heteromorphism was found.

The ultrastructural aspects of vitellogenesis or oocyte secondary growth in Serrasalmus spilopleura (Teleostei, Characiformes, Serrasalminae). [PDF]
Oocyte secondary growth in S. spiloleura corresponds to the period in which different vesicular structures are formed, including the cortical alveoli and the yolk granules. The oocytes with cortical alveolus formation show vesicular structures with filamentous content in the cortical cytoplasmic region, which are the cortical alveolus precursors.
