Influence of hypoxia on biochemical aspects and on expression of genes related to oxygen-homeostasis of the Amazonian cichlid Astronotus ocellatus (Agassiz, 1831)
Abstract:Variations in dissolved oxygen levels are common in the Amazonian aquatic environments and the aquatic organisms that inhabit these environments developed a variety of adaptive responses to deal with such conditions. Some Amazonian fish species are tolerant to low oxygen levels and the cichlid
Astronotus ocellatus
is one of the most hypoxia-tolerant species. Herein, we aimed to unveil the biochemical and molecular responses that
