(Dactylogyridae, Ancyrocephalinae) from the gills of the anostomid fishesLeporinus friderici, Leporinus amblyrhynchus and Leporinus elongatus from two freshwater ecosystems in the south east of Brazil. This new species is mainly characterized by the morphology of the copulatory complex (such as the MCO base formed by two fan-shaped structures, and accessory piece flattened, curved, rigid and channeled), a dorsal anchor with a well-developed superficial and inconspicuous deep root, and the shape of the accessory anchor sclerite with small spathulate termination. Tereancistrum flabellum n. sp. is the first record of a dactylogyrid from L. amblyrhynchus. The description of Tereancistrum parvus is also emended to correct and complement previous descriptions and the species is reported for the first time inSchizodon nasutus. Key words: Ancyrocephalinae, anostomid fish, gill ectoparasites, monogeneans, Neotropical region. INTRODUCTION Leporinus Agassiz, 1829 is the most diverse genus among anostomids, with 87 species, while The Anostomidae Günther, 1864 family includes the Schizodon Agassiz, 1829 genus is represented fish species that are widely distributed from by 14 species (Nelson 2006). Some larger members southern Central America to tropical and sub- of Leporinus and Schizodon are known for their temperate regions of South America (Nelson 2006). Many anostomid species are recognized by spawn migrations in the Paraná-Paraguay river their habit of feeding in an inclined position, and system and in the Amazon and Orinoco basins. constitute a significant part of the fish biomass in Because of their annual migrations, these species are different aquatic habitats (Garavello and Britski subjected to significant exploitation by commercial 2003). and subsistence fisheries as an important food source for the people of South America (Garavello Correspondence to: Aline Cristina Zago E-mail: [email protected] and Britski 2003).

  • Phylogenetic Relationships Within the Speciose Family Characidae
    Oliveira et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology 2011, 11:275 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/11/275 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Phylogenetic relationships within the speciose family Characidae (Teleostei: Ostariophysi: Characiformes) based on multilocus analysis and extensive ingroup sampling Claudio Oliveira1*, Gleisy S Avelino1, Kelly T Abe1, Tatiane C Mariguela1, Ricardo C Benine1, Guillermo Ortí2, Richard P Vari3 and Ricardo M Corrêa e Castro4 Abstract Background: With nearly 1,100 species, the fish family Characidae represents more than half of the species of Characiformes, and is a key component of Neotropical freshwater ecosystems. The composition, phylogeny, and classification of Characidae is currently uncertain, despite significant efforts based on analysis of morphological and molecular data. No consensus about the monophyly of this group or its position within the order Characiformes has been reached, challenged by the fact that many key studies to date have non-overlapping taxonomic representation and focus only on subsets of this diversity. Results: In the present study we propose a new definition of the family Characidae and a hypothesis of relationships for the Characiformes based on phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences of two mitochondrial and three nuclear genes (4,680 base pairs). The sequences were obtained from 211 samples representing 166 genera distributed among all 18 recognized families in the order Characiformes, all 14 recognized subfamilies in the Characidae, plus 56 of the genera so far considered incertae sedis in the Characidae. The phylogeny obtained is robust, with most lineages significantly supported by posterior probabilities in Bayesian analysis, and high bootstrap values from maximum likelihood and parsimony analyses.

  • Growth in Four Populations of Leporinus Friderici

According to a statistical analysis of growth curves using the method of maximum likelihood with the Gauss-Markardt algorithm, a marked difference is observed in the growth of the different samples which is attributed to the year of capture rather than to the geographical origin of fishes. It is demonstrated that the main factor affecting growth performances is the length of the rainy season, which corresponds for this species to the feeding period. Key words: Leporinusfriderici; South America; French Guiana; growth; skeletal chronobiology. I. INTRODUCTION In previous studies (Meunier et al., 1985; Lecomte et al., 1985, 1986, 1989), an annulus was shown to be formed at each of the two dry seasons of the year in three species of fish from French Guiana [Leporinusfriderici, Arius proops (Val., 1839), A. couma (Val., 1839)l. These growth zones are particularly obvious on the opercular bone and in the first ray of the pectoral fin. They were used to describe the growth of these species using the von Bertalanffy (1938) model.

  • From Lake Guaíba: Analysis of the Parasite Community
    Parasitology Research https://doi.org/10.1007/s00436-018-5933-4 ORIGINAL PAPER Helminth fauna of Megaleporinus obtusidens (Characiformes: Anostomidae) from Lake Guaíba: analysis of the parasite community E. W. Wendt1 & C. M. Monteiro2 & S. B. Amato3 Received: 7 September 2017 /Accepted: 15 May 2018 # Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abtract Structure of the helminth community of Megaleporinus obtusidens collected in Lake Guaíba 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 the following: platyhelminths, with the highest richness, represented by one species of Aspidobothrea; four species of Digenea; and eight species of Monogenea; the latter, presented the highest prevalence. Rhinoxenus arietinus,foundin nasal cavities, had the greater abundance, and was the only species classified as core. The prevalence of Urocleidoides paradoxus was significantly influenced by the sex of the host; females had the highest values. Abundance was weakly influenced by fish weight and the body length of the hosts. Urocleidoides sp. had its abundance weakly influenced by the host weight. The other helminths were not influenced by biometric characteristics of the hosts. The total species richness was similar between male and female fish, and both had 14 helminth species of parasites. Keywords Host–parasite relationship . Fish biology . Lake environment .

  • Genetic Variability in Oligosarcus Paranensis (Teleostei: Characiformes) from the São Francisco River, Ivaí River Basin – Paraná State, Brazil

Colombo, 5790, 87020-900, Maringá, Paraná, Brazil. *Author for correspondence. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. The genetic variability of Oligosarcus paranensis was estimated from a population collected in São Francisco river, Prudentópolis county in Paraná State (Brazil) using the electrophoresis in starch gel technique. Eleven enzymatic systems were analyzed: Aspartate aminotransaminase (AAT; E. C. 2.6.1), Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH; E. C. 1.1.1.1), Esterase (EST; E. C. 3.1.1.1), Glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (GPI; E. C. 5.3.1.9), Glycerol-3-Phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PDH; E. C. 1.1.1), Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH; E. C. 1.1.1.42), L-lactate dehydrogenase (LDH; E. C. 1.1.1.27), Malate dehydrogenase (MDH; E. C. 1.1.1.37 ), Malate dehydrogenase NADP (ME; E. C. 1.1.1.40), Phosphoglucomutase (PGM; E. C. 5.4.2.2) and Sorbitol dehydrogenase (SORB; E.C. 1.1.1.14). Twenty loci were identified through 15% corn starch gel electrophoresis of which nine (45%) were polymorphic. The average expected heterozygosity was estimated as 0.1229 ± 0.1728, and the observed was 0.0586 ± 0.1069, indicating high genetic variability. The average value of FIS = 0.5145 indicates homozygote excess.

Furthermore, several undeterminate species are reported from Hydrolicus scomberoides (Cyno- dontidae). Hosts were collected from rivers in Brazil and French Guiana.

Velasco-Santamaría1* Artículo recibido: 26 de febrero de 2020 · Aprobado: 27 de agosto de 2020 ABSTRACT Bromatological parameters in 39 Warakú verdadero (Leporinus agassizi) and 21 Warakú pinima (Leporinus fasciatus) fillets were analyzed at three different sites of the Vaupés River, Colombia sampled during a hydrobiological cycle. The bromatological parameters did not shown significant differences in relation to the sites and season of capture.
