Biological invasions are considered a major threat to biodiversity around the world, but the role of parasites in this process is still little investigated. Here, we compared parasite infections of a host species in the areas where it originated and where it was introduced, and in native and introduced species in the same environment, using the endoparasites of the fish Plagioscion squamosissim...

A full-length cDNA of 803 base pairs encoding a putative copper/zinc-superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn-SOD) from Epinephelus malabaricus was cloned by the polymerase chain reaction approach. Nucleotide sequence analysis of this cDNA clone revealed that it comprises a complete open reading frame coding for 154 amino acid residues. The deduced amino acid sequence showed high similarity (65-91%) with th...

ABSTRACT One of the constraints in pirarucu, Arapaima gigas farming is reproduction captivity, due to inconsistent number spawning events per reproductive cycle, thus, unreliable availability juvenile fish. This a first-hand report on predation pirarucu larvae by opportunistic fish species breeding pond. Fish samples were collected for stomach content analysis from pirarucu-breeding pond with r...
