No presente estudo três espécies de Lutjaninae, Lutjanus analis, L. griseus e L. synagris foram analisadas através da coloração convencional com Giemsa, banda C e coloração com nitrato de prata para identificar as Regiões ...

The 5S ribosomal DNA (5S rDNA) of higher eukaryotes is organized in repeat units of tandem arrays composed of a 5S rDNA coding region, conserved even among non-related taxa, and a variable non-transcribed spacer sequence ...

In order to extend the genetic data on the Sciaenidae fish family, the present study had the purpose to characterize PCR-generated 5S rDNA repeats of twelve species of this group through PAGE (Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis) ...

Cichlidae is the most species-rich freshwater family of Perciformes and has attracted the attention of aquarium hobbyists, aquaculturists, and sport fisherman. Oreochromis niloticus is very important in aquaculture today ...

Leporinus elongatus, a fish species widely distributed throughout the Paraná River basin in South America, is an important fishery resource and a valuable species in aquaculture programs. Despite its great economic importance, ...

Cytogenetic analyses were performed in Cyphocharax modestus, collected at Paranapanema River and Tietê River (São Paulo State, Brazil). A karyotype with 2n = 54 chromosomes was observed in the animals from both Brazilian ...

To contribute to the knowledge of fish genomes, we identified and characterized by means of nucleotide sequencing and physical chromosome mapping, three classes of repetitive DNAs in the genome of the South American cichlid ...

In this Study, we attempted a molecular characterization of the 5S rDNA in two closely related species of carcharhiniform sharks, Rhizoprionodon lalandii and Rhizoprionodon porosus, as well as a further comparative analysis ...

Sharks are suffering from intensive exploitation by worldwide fisheries leading to a severe decline in several populations in the last decades. The lack of biological data on a species-specific basis, associated with a ...

Background: Seven karyomorphs of the fish, Hoplias malabaricus (A-G) were previously included in two major groups, Group I (A, B, C, D) and Group II (E, F, G), based on their similar karyotype structure. In this paper, ...
