It is the only catfish species in the order Siluriformes of the monotypic genus Perrunichthys. Leopard Catfish are a predatory, long whiskered species that are sometimes confused with the Sailfin Pimelodid (Leiarius pictus) and the Marble Antenna Catfish (Leiarius marmoratus) Perrunichthys perruno have an elongated body with large deeply forked caudal fin, a depressed head, a broad snout, and a wide mouth. The upper jaw is slightly longer than the lower jaw. They have two pairs of shorter mandibular barbels and long maxillary barbels that in adult specimens can extend almost to the caudal fin Leopard Catfish have a dark chocolate brown body with lighter colored reticulated markings over the body and fins. Their long barbels, dorsal, and paired fins are colored the same as the body but in some fish, the fins have spotted instead of reticulated markings. Adult males are more slender than females, especially during the breeding season. In their natural habitat, Leopard Catfish feed on fish, worms, crustaceans, and almost anything they can fit into their large mouth. They are highly predatory and can fast for extended periods of time after consuming a large meal Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org).

Laboratório de Reprodução Animal, Faculdade de Agronomia e Medicina Veterinária, Universidade de Brasília, Campus Universitário Darcy Ribeiro, Brasília, DF, Brasil ABSTRACT: The study evaluated qualitative and quantitative characteristics of Amazonian jundiá semen . The experiment was carried out in February 2015 at Cia do Peixe, a company located in Goiás state, Brazil, that specialises in fish fry production. Three male L. marmoratus farmed in dugout ponds, weighing 1.34 ± 0.29 kg and measuring 39.33 ± 1.15 cm in length, were tested. The specimens were captured and transferred to a 1000-L tank at the Reproduction Laboratory of the abovementioned company. Water temperature was measured at 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., and the fish were fed twice daily. For semen collection, the fish were captured from the tank using a dip net and constrained with a wet cotton towel. Their eyes were covered and their urogenital papilla was cleaned and dried with paper towel. Semen was collected in microcentrifuge tubes that were immersed in ice and analysed immediately. On average, the sperm motility rate was 83.33%, motility duration was 5.33 min, sperm concentration was 1,795,833 cells/ mm 3, and vigour was 4. The morphological analysis of the sperm revealed tail anomalies in 17.66%, midpiece anomalies in 20%, and head anomalies in 5.33%.

  • Gonadal Maturation in Pseudoplatystoma Metaense × Leiarius Marmoratus Hybrids, (Siluriformes: Pimelodidae)

Gonadal maturation in Pseudoplatystoma metaense × Leiarius marmoratus hybrids, (Siluriformes:Pimelodidae). Int. J. Morphol., 38(5):1405-1411, 2020. SUMMARY: Establishing guidelines for responsible management in fish production systems requires knowledge of the basic biology of the fish to be raised. The objective of this work was to determine the reproductive capacity of hybrids produced from the crossing of females of Pseudoplatystoma metaense with males of Leiarius marmoratus. Males presented a digitiform, unrestricted spermatogonial testicle containing caudal digits producing glycoproteins that do not form a seminal vesicle. It was possible to find free sperm in the lumen of the tubules and in the ducts. The ovary of the females was found to be saccular and synchronous with at least three groups of oocytes. In the first year of life, only oogonia up to previtellogenic oocytes (cortical alveolus 284.9 ± 35.7 mm in diameter) were found. After the second year vitellogenic oocytes 730 ± 3.78 mm in diameter were observed. The events of gonadal development of the hybrids indicate that they are gonochoric, synchronic animals. The maturation peaks in the high-water season, overlapping with the parental species. Therefore, the escape of hybrids from fish cultures to the rivers may increase the risk of crosses, gene introgression, or diminution of the reproductive capacity of the pure species.

  • Lista De Peces De Agua Dulce E Intermareales Del Ecuador*
    LISTA DE PECES DE AGUA DULCE E INTERMAREALES DEL ECUADOR* Ramiro Barriga S. Instituto de Ciencias Biológicas, Escuela Politécnica Nacional (Quito, Ecuador), Casilla 17-01-2759, Telefax: 2236690, E-mail: [email protected] RESUMEN La lista de peces de agua dulce del Ecuador se sustenta en las referencias bibliográficas y en la base de datos de la colección de peces del Instituto de Ciencias Biológicas de la Escuela Politécnica Nacional (EPN). Las especies han sido clasificadas en 11 zonas Ictiohidrográficas tomando en cuenta las características de cada cuenca hidrográfica, que son el producto de factores biogeográficos e históricos los mismos que provocaron eventos vicariantes alopátri- cos y simpátricos, así como también la dispersión y especiación. La presencia de las monta- ñas costeras, las cordilleras andinas y la tercera cordillera, han influido en la morfología de los sistemas hidrográficos y en sus características ecológicas. La lista incluye 951 especies de peces de agua dulce intermareles. La región Costera incluye la zona Intermareal donde habi- tan 120 y 211 especies en las cinco zonas restantes. En la Zona Andina se ha registrado úni- camente la especie endémica Grundulus quitoensis y una especie introducida: la trucha arco iris (Onchorynchus mykiss). La región Oriental incluye la Alta Amazonía, con cuatro zonas y 125 especies. La Baja Amazonía se divide en dos zonas, con 680 especies. En Galápagos se registra un pez endémico (Bythitidae:Ogilpia galapagosensis), el cual habita en las cavernas de la isla Santa Cruz. Se conoce que cada veinte años se añaden entre 200 y 300 nuevos registros y de 50-60 especies nuevas para la ciencia.

  • Phylogenetic Position and Notes on the Natural History of Pimelabditus
    Phylogenetic position and notes on the natural history of Pimelabditus moli Parisi & Lundberg, 2009 (Teleostei: Siluriformes), a recently discovered pimelodid catfish from the Maroni River basin by John G. LUNDBERG* (1), Raphaël COVAIN (2, 3, 4), John P. SULLIVAN (5) & Sonia FISCH-MULLER (2) Abstract. - The recent description of a distinctive new pimelodid catfish, Pimelabditus moli Parisi & Lundberg, 2009, from the Maroni River basin of Suriname and French Guiana, added an unresolved taxon to the family. Here we include P. moli in ongoing molecular and morphological phylogenetic studies of the Pimelodidae. We sequenced > 7.5 KB of aligned bases from the nuclear rag1 and rag2 genes and the mitochondrial mt-rnr1, mt-rnr2 and mt-cyb genes. Results provide strong support for the placement of P. moli as the sister taxon to Pimelodus ornatus Kner, 1858. We also describe a structurally complex pterotic-epioccipital fossa shared by P. moli and P. ornatus that provides an unambiguous synapomor- phy indicating their close relationship. Furthermore, the molecular and morphological data recover the P. moli -P. ornatus Clade as the sister group to the Calophysus-Pimelodus Clade. Pimelabditus moli is a rare species, known from just five specimens. Notes on the provenance, capture and habitat of P. moli are provided.
