Chromosomal evolution in large pelagic oceanic apex predators, the barracudas (Sphyraenidae, Percomorpha)

Sphyraena (barracudas) represents the only genus of the Sphyraenidae family and includes 27 species distributed into the tropical and subtropical oceanic regions. These pelagic predators can reach large sizes and, thus, attracting significant interest from commercial and sport fishing. Evolutionary data for this fish group, as well its chromosomal patterns, are very.. Read More»

Robertsonian rearrangements and pericentric inversions in Scaridae fish (Perciformes)

    D.C.S. Sena and W.F. Molina

The parrotfishes (family Scaridae) are comprised of the subfamilies Sparisomatinae and Scarinae. They are important agents of marine bioerosion, which rework the substrate with their beaklike jaws. Despite their importance, there are no published cytogenetic data on this group. We made cytogenetic analyses of Sparisoma axillare (Sparisomatinae) and Scarus coelestinu.. Read More»

Cytogenetic studies in Brazilian marine Sciaenidae and Sparidae fishes (Perciformes)

    I.V. Accioly and W.F. Molina

Fishes from the families Sciaenidae and Sparidae, the former comprising coastal species associated with shallow waters on the continental shelf and the latter composed of typically marine species, are of significant economic value. Karyotypic data are available for about 20% of the total number of species in these groups. In the present study, cytogenetic analyses w.. Read More»

Performance of human immunostimulating agents in the improvement of fish cytogenetic preparations

    W.F. Molina, D.E.O. Alves, W.C. Araújo, P.A. Martinez, M.F.M. Silva and G.W.W.F. Costa

Inoculation with bacterial or fungal antigens that stimulate cell proliferation has been widely used to obtain metaphases for cytogenetic studies of fish. We evaluated the potential of new pharmaceutical compounds as mitogenic agents in fish, testing the efficacy of Aminovac® (mixed antigens and epsilon-acetamidocaproic acid), Broncho-Vaxom® (bacterial lysat..

Karyoevolution of the toadfish Thalassophryne nattereri (Batrachoidiformes: Batrachoididae)

    G.W.W.F. Costa and W.F. Molina

The Batrachoididae includes some venomous brackish and marine fish found in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans. This family is composed of 69 species, distributed among 19 genera. Species of the genus Thalassophryne have been reported along the coast of Rio Grande do Norte (Brazil); T. nattereri has been responsible for a large number of human injuries. Little is known about the cytogeneti.. Read More»

Lack of interpopulation genetic structure in the genus Stegastes (Perciformes) with indication of local introgression

    E.A. Dias Jr., A.S. Souza and W.F. Molina

The family Pomacentridae comprises about 326 species belonging to 28 genera. The genus Stegastes is composed of nearly 33 species, and 8 are endemic to the Brazilian Province, inhabiting the Brazilian coast (Stegastes fuscus, S. variabilis, S. leucosticus, S. uenfi, and S. pictus) or Western Atlantic oceanic islands (S. trindadensis, S. rocasensis and S. sanctipauli..
