Megaleporinus obtusidens
Boga Megaleporinus obtusidens is a teleost fish of economical and sport importance from Rà o de la Plata Basin (South America). Otolith core and edge elemental ratios (Ba:Ca, Cu:Ca, Li:Ca, Mg:Ca, Mn:Ca, Pb:Ca, Rb:Ca and Sr:Ca) were compared among three sampling areas from the Rà o de la Plata Basin (Paraná and Uruguay Rivers and Rà o de la Plata Estuary) to evaluate the applicability of the fingerprint to study segregation and connectivity in young and adult stages. Structure of the helminth community of Megaleporinus obtusidens collected in Lake Guaà ba was evaluated, and the results indicated that the diversity of... Helminth fauna of Megaleporinus obtusidens (Characiformes: Anostomidae) from Lake Guaà ba: analysis of the parasite community.

Leporinus obtusidens (Valenciennes, 1837). Accessed through: World Register of Marine Species at: http://www.marinespecies.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=1018822 on 2018-11-11. Structure of the helminth community of Megaleporinus obtusidens collected in Lake Guaà ba was evaluated, and the results indicated that the diversity of helminth species was probably determined by fish behavior and eating habits. The influence of sex, weight, and standard length of hosts for parasitic indices was also analyzed. Sixteen helminth species were found parasitizing M. obtusidens, including One trans-Andean species Megaleporinus muyscorum (mitochondrial consensus genome of 25 individuals) from Colombia and one cis-Andean species M. obtusidens from Argentina. Regarding M. muyscorum, mitochondrial genome has 13 protein-coding genes, 1 D-loop, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 21 transfer RNAs, and is 14,434 bp in length, for M. obtusidens mitochondrial genome has 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNAs, 22 transfer RNAs, and is 15,546 bp in length. . Megaleporinus obtusidens is a South American species of headstander that inhabits the basins of the Paraná River and the Rà o de la Plata, the Uruguay River, and the São Francisco River (including minor rivers and tributaries like the Bermejo, Pilcomayo, Salà , Juramento, Dulce, and Uniguay). It may be found in the main courses and streams, as well as in lakes and lagoons; it often shelters among stones and aquatic vegetation. "Leporinus obtusidens" has an elongated wide body, with a comparatively small head and a blunt mouth; its teeth are reminiscent of the incisors of "Lagomorpha", whence the name of the genus ("leporinus", "hare-like", as in "Leporidae"). Its basic colour is a light greenish- gray, with three rounded dark spots in mid-flank, which may not be visible in some specimens. Leporinus obtusidens. National Institutes of Health. Watch Topic.
