Use of probiotics in the catfish Sorubim cuspicaudus larviculture
Revista Colombiana de Biotecnología, 2023 Sorubim cuspicaudus, a migratory catfish distributed in the Magdalena, Sinú, and Catatumbo river basins, is categorized as vulnerable to extinction. Production of fingerlings in controlled environments stands as a strategic conservation approach, and larviculture is a critical phase in rearing this species.

Age and growth of the Duckbill Catfish (Sorubim cf. lima) in the Pantanal [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2004 The Duckbill Catfish, Sorubim lima, is a predator of large South American rivers. The age and growth of S. lima were studied based on the pectoral fin-spines of samples collected from the Cuiabá River, Pantanal. The samples were taken from commercial and experimental hook-and-line fishing.

Chemical composition and fatty acid profile of Trans-Andean Shovelnose catfish Sorubim cuspicaudus [PDF]
Israeli Journal of Aquaculture - Bamidgeh, 2014 Chemical composition and fatty acid profile were studied in larvae and adult Trans-Andean shovelnose catfish muscle. The chemical composition in dry matter of the larvae and the food they consumed were: moisture, 89.2%, 91.8%; protein, 79.8%, 70.6%; ethereal extract, 7.8% 7.2%; and ash, 12.7% and 14.5%, respectively.

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

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
