  • REVIEW Electric Fish: New Insights Into Conserved Processes of Adult Tissue Regeneration
    2478 The Journal of Experimental Biology 216, 2478-2486 © 2013. Published by The Company of Biologists Ltd doi:10.1242/jeb.082396 REVIEW Electric fish: new insights into conserved processes of adult tissue regeneration Graciela A. Unguez Department of Biology, New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, NM 88003, USA [email protected] Summary Biology is replete with examples of regeneration, the process that allows animals to replace or repair cells, tissues and organs. As on land, vertebrates in aquatic environments experience the occurrence of injury with varying frequency and to different degrees. Studies demonstrate that ray-finned fishes possess a very high capacity to regenerate different tissues and organs when they are adults. Among fishes that exhibit robust regenerative capacities are the neotropical electric fishes of South America (Teleostei: Gymnotiformes). Specifically, adult gymnotiform electric fishes can regenerate injured brain and spinal cord tissues and restore amputated body parts repeatedly. We have begun to identify some aspects of the cellular and molecular mechanisms of tail regeneration in the weakly electric fish Sternopygus macrurus (long-tailed knifefish) with a focus on regeneration of skeletal muscle and the muscle-derived electric organ. Application of in vivo microinjection techniques and generation of myogenic stem cell markers are beginning to overcome some of the challenges owing to the limitations of working with non-genetic animal models with extensive regenerative capacity. This review highlights some aspects of tail regeneration in S. macrurus and discusses the advantages of using gymnotiform electric fishes to investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms that produce new cells during regeneration in adult vertebrates.

  • Estimating Migratory Fish Distribution from Altitude and Basin Area: a Case
    Freshwater Biology (2012) 57, 2297–2305 doi:10.1111/fwb.12003 Estimating migratory fish distribution from altitude and basin area: a case study in a large Neotropical river JOSE´ RICARDO S. BARRADAS*, LUCAS G. SILVA*, BRET C. HARVEY† AND NELSON F. FONTOURA* *Departamento de Biodiversidade e Ecologia, Pontifı´cia Universidade Cato´lica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS), Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil †USDA Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Research Station, Arcata, CA, U.S.A. SUMMARY 1. The objective of this study was to identify longitudinal distribution patterns of large migratory fish species in the Uruguay River basin, southern Brazil, and construct statistical distribution models for Salminus brasiliensis, Prochilodus lineatus, Leporinus obtusidens and Pseudoplatystoma corruscans. 2. The sampling programme resulted in 202 interviews with old residents and fishermen at 167 different sampling sites in the major rivers of the basin. Interviewees were asked whether these fish species were present in the nearby river segment, recently or in the past. The average age of respondents was 56 years, and the great majority had resided for more than 30 years in the area where they were interviewed. 3. Fish distribution patterns were modelled using altitude and basin area as environmental descriptors. Distributional patterns were estimated using logistic equations (LOGIT): À1 P ¼ eða0þa1 lnðAlÞþa2 lnðBAÞÞð1 þ eða0þa1 lnðAlÞþa2 lnðBAÞÞÞ , where Al is the altitude and BA is the basin area. 4. Accuracies of the distribution models were between 77 and 85%. These accuracies are similar to those of published distribution models for other fishes based on larger numbers of environmental descriptors. 5. The historical distributional ranges make clear that all operating or planned large hydropower dams in the Uruguay River basin, with one exception, limit or will limit the distribution of migratory fishes.

Andrade3, Rupert A. Collins4, Izeni Pires Farias2 Rafaela Priscila Ota 2 [email protected] and Tomas Hrbek Pacus of the genus Myloplus represent a formidable taxonomic challenge, and particularly so for the case of M. asterias and M. rubripinnis, two widespread and common species that harbor considerable morphological diversity. Here we apply DNA barcoding and multiple species discovery methods to find candidate species in this complex group. We report on one well-supported lineage that is also morphologically and ecologically distinct. This lineage represents a new species that can be distinguished from congeners by the presence of dark chromatophores on lateral-line scales, which gives the appearance of a black lateral line. It can be further diagnosed by having 25–29 branched dorsal-fin rays (vs. 18–24), 89–114 perforated scales from the supracleithrum to the end of hypural plate (vs. 56–89), and 98–120 total lateral line scales (vs. 59–97). The new species is widely distributed in the Amazon basin, but seems to have a preference for black- and clearwater habitats. This ecological preference and black lateral line color pattern bears a striking similarity to the recently described silver dollar Submitted September 24, 2019 Metynnis melanogrammus.

Pimelodus pintado n. sp. is distinguished from congeners by the combination of its densely spotted pigmentation pattern with many small dots irregularly placed over flanks, head and all fins, and, when fresh, metallic golden background color, plus thick striated lips with prominent rictal folds, long snout, prominent upper jaw, anterior naris far from snout margin, narrow premaxillary tooth bands with rounded posterolateral corners, tooth- less prevomer and 22-26 gill rakers on first branchial arch. Pimelodus pintado is compared to other spotted species of Pimelodus including P. maculatus, P. heraldoi, P. absconditus, P. microstoma, P. mysteriosus, P. paranaensis, P. platicirris, P. ortmanni, P. britskii, P. fur, P. grosskopfii, P. navarroi, P. coprophagus and P. punctatus. New taxon: Pimelodus pintado Azpelicueta, Lundberg and Loureiro INTRODUCTION Merín (Fig. 1). The first specimens of the new species were detected in 1997 by one of us (MMA) in the collection The type species of the taxonomically challenging of the Museu de Ciências e Tecnologia, Porto Alegre, and genus Pimelodus is P.

  • Peces De La Quebrada El Venado En El Valle Del Cauca, Colombia Autores: Carlos E
    rgaaditorial Programa La Universidad del Valle - Sede Pacífico, consciente de que la producción, análisis, publicación y diseminación del conocimiento es una de las herramientas necesarias para la protección, aprovechamiento y uso sostenible del recurso ictiológico, la fauna y flora asociada a este recurso y los ecosistemas involucrados dentro del contexto de la conservación biológica y natural, entrega a la comunidad en general esta guía de peces de la quebrada El Venado, luego de un trabajo de investigación científica financiado por la Universidad del Valle, como un instrumento útil para reconocer algunas de las especies de peces continentales, tanto de origen marino como de agua dulce, presentes en este afluente. La obra muestra la estructura de la quebrada, algunos datos conocidos de varios peces locales y sus correspondientes imágenes en estado vivo, con toda su coloración real. Se espera que la publicación se convierta en un texto de consulta de pescadores, turistas de la naturaleza, funcionarios públicos y gubernamentales, docentes y estudiantes de los peces, profesionales y aficionados del medio ambiente, y público interesado en esta temática. El enfoque divulgativo de esta publicación busca generar e incrementar en el lector el interés y la necesidad de actuar en beneficio de nuestros recursos y ecosistemas naturales. La Universidad del Valle - Sede Pacífico, consciente de que la producción, análisis, publicación y diseminación del conocimiento es una de las herramientas necesarias para la protección, aprovechamiento y uso sostenible del recurso ictiológico, la fauna y flora asociada a este recurso y los ecosistemas involucrados dentro del contexto de la conservación biológica y natural, entrega a la comunidad en general esta guía de peces de la quebrada El Venado, luego de un trabajo de investigación científica financiado por la Universidad del Valle, como un instrumento útil para reconocer algunas de las especies de peces continentales, tanto de origen marino como de agua dulce, presentes en este afluente.
