Endocrine disruption in Sphoeroides testudineus tissues and sediments highlights contamination in a northeastern Brazilian estuary

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2016
In recent decades, considerable attention has been devoted to endocrine disruptor chemicals (EDC) and studies on fish feminization have increased throughout the years as a key signal for aquatic environmental contamination. The input of domestic sewage into water reservoirs is common in South American countries, especially in cities that experienced ...

Redescription and Genetic Characterization of Cucullanus dodsworthi (Nematoda: Cucullanidae) From the Checkered Puffer Sphoeroides testudineus (Pisces: Tetraodontiformes)

Journal of Parasitology, 2011
Cucullanus dodsworthi Barreto, 1922 was originally described from the checkered puffer fish, Sphoeroides testudineus (Linnaeus), from Brazilian waters. New material of this nematode species was recovered from the same type host species from Mexican waters off the Yucatán Peninsula. This material was compared with Brazilian specimens.

Puff and bite: The relationship between the glucocorticoid stress response and anti-predator performance in checkered puffer (Sphoeroides testudineus)

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2015
Individual variation in the endocrine stress response has been linked to survival and performance in a variety of species. Here, we evaluate the relationship between the endocrine stress response and anti-predator behaviors in wild checkered puffers (Sphoeroides testudineus) captured at Eleuthera Island, Bahamas.

Consequences of experimental cortisol manipulations on the thermal biology of the checkered puffer (Sphoeroides testudineus) in laboratory and field environments

Journal of Thermal Biology, 2015
Anthropogenic climate change is altering temperature regimes for coastal marine fishes. However, given that temperature changes will not occur in isolation of other stressors, it is necessary to explore the potential consequences of stress on the thermal tolerances and preferences of tropical marine fish in order to understand the thresholds for ...

The Na+, K+, 2Cl− cotransporter of estuarine pufferfishes (Sphoeroides testudineus and S. greeleyi) in hypo- and hyper-regulation of plasma osmolality

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Toxicology & Pharmacology, 2006
The pufferfishes Sphoeroides testudineus and Sphoeroides greeleyi are estuarine species that osmoregulate efficiently, but S. testudineus tolerates seawater dilution to a much higher degree than S. greeleyi. This study aimed at testing whether NKCC is involved with their differential tolerance of seawater dilution, through the analysis of in vivo ...

Glomeruli and renal tubules are restricted to the cranial kidney of the adult estuarine Sphoeroides testudineus

Journal of Fish Biology, 2003
The kidney of the pufferfish Sphoeroides testudineus, an abundant tropical euryhaline estuarine species of the western Atlantic Ocean found in southern Brazil (in salinities ranging from 0 to 34) has a large and laterally spread cranial red portion, and a very thin and pale caudal portion.
