RESUMO

Centropomus undecimalis (common snook) and Centropomus parallelus (fat snook) have a wide distribution from southern Florida to southern Brazil. Due to their value as a food source, these species have been heavily exploited through predatory fishing, posing a conservation challenge. To assess their genetic diversity and population structure, we used microsatellite markers. Our findings revealed genetic differences among populations of the same species, highlighting the need for targeted conservation efforts. The microsatellite markers proved effective in assessing genetic variability, providing valuable insights for management and conservation. The parameters Ho (observed heterozygosity) and He (expected heterozygosity) were reliable indicators of genetic diversity, and specific loci showed varying allele numbers across populations. Our study contributes to understanding population genetics in these snook species and supports their conservation. Despite not being classified as endangered, genetic differences among populations emphasize the importance of considering population-level characteristics in conservation strategies. This research lays the foundation for future studies and actions aimed at preserving these valuable fish species. In summary, our study demonstrates the significance of microsatellite markers in assessing genetic variability and population structure in common snook and fat snook, informing conservation efforts for these species.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: There are currently nine monogenoidean species of Rhabdosynochus infecting the gill lamellae of wild and cultured centropomid fishes from tropical and subtropical waters of the western Atlantic and eastern Pacific Oceans. The purpose of the present study was to describe the morphological distinctiveness of two new species of Rhabdosynochus found on the cultured Centropomus viridis collected from floating cages from the Mexican eastern Tropical Pacific in 2018. METHODS: monogenoideans were fixed with 4-5% formalin solution, observed and measured as temporary or permanent mounts stained with Gomori's trichrome, and mounted in Canada balsam. Other specimens were mounted on slides using a mixture of lactic acid (LA) and glycerin-ammonium picrate (GAP) and then remounted in Canada balsam to obtain measurements of the haptoral structures and copulatory complex. Illustrations were prepared with the aid of a drawing tube using a Leica microscope DM 2500 with Nomarski interference contrast. RESULTS: Rhabdosynochus viridisi n. sp. is mainly differentiated from all other congeneric species in the shape and size of their copulatory complexes, i.e., length 75-105 µm vs. 45-55 µm in R. alterinstitus, 26-44 µm in R. volucris, 19-22 µm in R. lituparvus, 21-37 µm in R. siliquaus, 48-75 µm in R. hargisi, 37-44 µm in R. hudsoni and 44-61 µm in R. guanduensis. Rhabdosynochus pacificus n. sp. differs from all other species of the genus in having an accessory piece (one subunit) distally twisted. CONCLUSIONS: Based on the morphometric differences of the two new species described above, the number of valid species of Rhabdosynochus has now increased to 11. These two new species of Rhabdosynochus represent the first described species of the genus on C. viridis.

RESUMO

The family Centropomidae includes a number of fish species of high commercial value. One of these species, Centropomus undecimalis, is a target of artisanal, industrial, and sports fisheries and has also considerable potential for captive breeding, which has led to its inclusion in several aquaculture programs. While the biology and ecology of C. undecimalis are relatively well documented, few karyological data are available on this species, and they are still scarce for other centropomids. The few chromosomal data available on this family indicate a conserved karyotype 2n = 48, but it is unclear whether the chromosome microstructure is also conserved. In this study, new cytogenetic data are presented on C. undecimalis from the Amazon coastal zone, including C-banding, Ag-NOR, in situ hybridization with repetitive DNA probes (5S and 18S ribosomal genes), and telomeric (TTAGGG)n sequences. The diploid number of the species was 2n = 48, with heterochromatic blocks in the centromeric and pericentromeric regions, as well as distal signals; the nucleolus organizer regions (NORs) were associated with the heterochromatic region. The 18S and 5S recombinant DNA (rDNA) clusters were located in the distal region of chromosome pairs 1 and 11, respectively. The similarities of the karyotype macrostructure found among the centropomid species reinforce their exceptional chromosomal stability. However, the presence of heterochromatic blocks and location of NORs suggest the occurrence of structural rearrangements, which indicates that evolutionary dynamics at the microstructural level in this group may be relatively complex and should be evaluated carefully in any study that targets the production of hybrids for aquaculture.

RESUMO

ABSTRACT The present study aimed to evaluate nitrate acute toxicity in cultured common snook Centropomus undecimalis juveniles. Fish (20.35±6.10 g and 13.90±1.75 cm) were submitted to a control treatment (without nitrate addition) plus 20 increasing concentrations of nitrate up to 2735 mg L-1 obtained by sodium nitrate. System was semi-static, with 100 % daily water renewed and sodium nitrate addition to maintain the respective concentrations. Water temperature was 20.99±0.55 °C, dissolved oxygen 6.79±0.21 mg L-1, pH 8.23±0.10, alkalinity 141.80±7.68 mg L-1 CaCO3, salinity 33.47±3.75 g L-1, total ammonia and nitrite less than 1 mg L-1. During experimental period (96 h), no mortalities were observed in fish with or without nitrate addition. Compared to other species, the common snook presents higher tolerance to nitrate exposition. Based on the present findings, the acute nitrate exposure up to 2735 mg L-1 does not present lethal risk for common snook juveniles.


RESUMEN El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar la toxicidad aguda de nitrato en juveniles cultivados del róbalo común Centropomus undecimalis. Los peces (20,35±6,10 g y 13,90±1,75 cm) se sometieron a un tratamiento control (sin adición de nitrato) además de más de 20 concentraciones crecientes de nitrato hasta 2735 mg L-1 obtenidas con nitrato de sodio. El sistema era semiestático, con 100 % de renovación diaria de agua y adición de nitrato de sodio para mantener las respectivas concentraciones. La temperatura del agua fue 20,99±0,55 °C, oxígeno disuelto 6,79±0,21 mg L-1, pH 8,23±0,10, alcalinidad 141,80±7,68 mg L-1 CaCO3, salinidad 33,47±3,75 g L-1, amoníaco total y nitrito menor que 1 mg L-1. Durante el período experimental, no se observaron mortalidades en peces con o sin adición de nitrato. Comparado con otras especies, el róbalo común es más resistente a exposición de nitrato. Con base en los hallazgos actuales, la exposición aguda a nitrato hasta 2735 mg L-1 no presenta un riesgo letal para los juveniles de róbalo.

RESUMO

Sixty Centropomus parallelus juveniles were collected in March 2013 in two locations (Tromomó and Guaraguaçu) inside the Paranaguá estuarine complex, southern Brazil. The habitat residency and movement patterns of the individuals were inferred from Sr:Ca ratios and age recorded in the otoliths. Data suggest that the species spawns preferentially in brackish areas mainly from October to January, and that growth rate during the early juvenile stage could be influenced by environmental salinity. Furthermore, the data also show that C. parallelus can occupy diverse salinity habitats and migrate among marine, brackish and freshwater areas within the Paranaguá estuarine complex, showing a high environmental plasticity and adaptation.

RESUMO

Common snook Centropomus unidecimalis is an important commercial and fishery species in Southern Mexico, however the high exploitation rates have resulted in a strong reduction of its abundances. Since, the information about its population structure is scarce, the objective of the present research was to determine and compare the age structure in four important fishery sites. For this, age and growth of common snook were determined from specimens collected monthly, from July 2006 to March 2008, from two coastal (Barra Bosque and Barra San Pedro) and two riverine (San Pedro and Tres Brazos) commercial fishery sites in Tabasco, Mexico. Age was determined using sectioned saggitae otoliths and data analyzed by von Bertalanffy and Levenberg-Marquardt among others. Estimated ages ranged from 2 to 17 years. Monthly patterns of marginal increment formation and the percentage of otoliths with opaque rings on the outer edge demonstrated that a single annulus was formed each year. The von Bertalanffy parameters were calculated for males and females using linear adjustment and the non-linear method of Levenberg-Marquardt. The von Bertalanffy growth equations were FLt=109.21(1-e-0.21(t+0.57)) for Barra Bosque, FLt=94.56(1-e-0.27(t+0.48)) for Barra San Pedro, FLt=97.15(1-e-0.17(t+1.32)) for San Pedro and FLt=83.77(1-e-0.26(t+0.49)) for Tres Brazos. According to (Hotelling’s T², p<0.05) test growth was significantly greater for females than for males. Based on the Chen test, von Bertalanffy growth curves were different among the study sites (RSS, p<0.05). Based on the observed differences in growth parameters among sampling sites (coastal and riverine environments) future research need to be conducted on migration and population genetics, in order to delineate the stock structure of this population and support management programs.


El robalo blanco Centropomus undecimalis representa un ingreso monetario significativo y un recurso alimentario para todas las comunidades rurales cercanas a su distribución. Se determinó la edad y crecimiento de esta especie. Los organismos se recolectaron mensualmente en los desembarcos de la pesca artesanal de las cooperativas de mayor contribución en la zona costera (Barra Bosque y San Pedro) y ribereña (San Pedro y Tres Brazos) entre julio 2006 y marzo 2008. La edad se determinó mediante otolitos seccionados. La edad estimada fue de 2 a 17 años. Mensualmente se estableció la formación anillos opacos y traslúcidos. Para ambas zonas de estudio agrupadas, se validó el retrocálculo por comparación de tres métodos (Fraser-Lee, Dahl-Lea y Whitney-Carlander), se encontraron diferencias significativas (ANCOVA, p<0.05) entre el promedio de la longitud observada y la longitud retrocalculada. Las constantes de la ecuación de von Bertalanffy fueron calculadas para cada sexo y combinados, se empleó el método no lineal de Levenberg-Marquardt’s. La edad estimada para el robalo blanco fue de 2 a 17 años. Se encontraron diferencias significativas en el crecimiento entre sexos (T² Hotelling, p<0.05). Los parámetros de crecimiento para ambos sexos fueron, zona costera: Barra Bosque Lf t=109.21(1-e-0.21(t+0.57)), Barra San Pedro Lf t=94.56(1-e-0.27(t+0.48)), y para la zona ribereña: San Pedro Lf t=97.15(1-e-0.17(t+1.32)) y Tres Brazos Lf t=83.77(1- e-0.26(t+0.49)). Se encontraron diferencias significativas en las curvas de crecimiento de von Bertalanffy entre las poblaciones comparadas (RSS, p<0.05).

RESUMO

Between April and December 2000, seventy-nine specimens of Centropomus undecimalis from Angra dos Reis, coastal zone of the State of Rio de Janeiro (23º01'S, 44º19'W), Brazil, were necropsied to study their infracommunities of metazoan parasites. Nine species of metazoan parasites were collected: 1 digenean, 1 monogenean, 1 acantocephalan, 1 nematode, 4 copepods, and 1 isopod, and 96.2% of the fishes were parasitized by one or more metazoan, with mean of 85.3 ± 122.9 parasite/fish. The digenean Acanthocollaritrema umbilicatum Travassos, Freitas & Bührnheim represented the majority of the parasites specimens collected, totaling, 94.7%. This species was the most abundant, prevalent, and dominant, showing positive correlation with the host's total body length and parasite abundance. The copepod species Acantholochus unisagittatus Tavares & Luque presented differences in abundance in relation to sex of host. The mean diversity in the infracommunities of C. undecimalis was H = 0.095 ± 0.116, with no correlation with the host's total body length but correlated with the host's sex. No pair of parasite species showed positive or negative association or covariation. The dominance of digenean A. umbilicatum in the later juvenile common snook parasite community could be related with the predatory food habits of common snook and an apparent feeding transition period which might occasion great exposure to infective forms.


Entre abril e dezembro de 2000, 79 espécimes de C. undecimalis, provenientes de Angra dos Reis, litoral do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (23º01'S, 44º19'W), Brasil, foram necropsiados para o estudo de suas infracomunidades de metazoários parasitos. Foram coletadas nove espécies de metazoários parasitos: 1 digenético, 1 monogenético, 1 acantocéfalo, 1 nematóide, 4 copépodes e 1 isópode; e 96,2% dos peixes estavam parasitados por um ou mais metazoários parasitos, com média de 85,3 ± 122,9 parasitos/peixe. O digenético Acanthocollaritrema umbilicatum Travassos, Freitas & Bührnheim foi o táxon maioritário, representando 94,7% do total de parasitos coletados. Esta espécie foi a mais abundante, prevalente e dominante, apresentando correlação positiva entre o comprimento total dos hospedeiros e a abundância parasitária. O copépode Acantholochus unisagittatus Tavares & Luque apresentou diferenças em sua abundância em relação ao sexo dos hospedeiros. A diversidade média das infracomunidades de C. undecimalis foi de H = 0,095 ± 0,116 sem correlação com o comprimento total dos hospedeiros e com diferenças em relação ao sexo dos hospedeiros. Nenhum par de espécies demonstrou associação e covariação positiva ou negativa. A dominância do digenético A. umbilicatum na comunidade parasitária dos robalos jovens pode estar relacionada ao hábito predador e ao aparente período de transição alimentar, que pode levar a uma grande exposição às formas infectantes.
