Abstract: The matrinxã, Brycon amazonicus, is one of the main species being used for aquaculture and fishery activities in the Amazonian region, yet little is known about the parasites that cause its diseases. The present study monitored parasite fauna infesting an intensive husbandry system in a stream channel. The collections were carried out monthly from September, 1997 to January, 1998. Water quality parameters, fish removal procedures, as well as biometry and anaesthetic data were observed in order to monitor the m… Show more

“…Brycon cephalus on the Negro and Solimões Rivers and on B. amazonicus collected on raised system (Andrade et al 2001;Andrade and Malta 2006). Comparing these results with the present study it can be observed that the endoparasite fauna of Brycon species is not rich.…”

“…Among Nematoda, P. (S.) inopinatus had the highest prevalence and parasite abundance indexes. Several studies recorded an increase in the prevalence of this species in other neotropical fish, both in natural environments and in cultivation systems (Andrade and Malta 2006;Saraiva et al 2006;Araújo et al 2009;Gomiero et al 2009). Procamallanus (S.) inopinatus was the most prevalent parasite species of Leporinus lacustris and L. friderici in the Nova Ponte Reservoir, in southeastern Brazil (Feltran et al 2004).…”

“…To date, 70 species have been described, mostly from the Amazon region (Table 5). According to Van Every and Kritsky (1992), species diversity among Amazonian fish and their parasites may have resulted from lacustrine resource partitioning, similar to that proposed to explain cichlid diversity in some African lakes (LOWE-MCCONNELL, 1987) and Pliocene diversity in lake Idaho (SMITH, 1975 (KRITSKY et al, 1979;KRITSKY et al, 1992;COHEN, 1998;FISCHER et al, 2003;MALTA, 2006;MONTEIRO et al, 2010;COHEN et al, 2012).…”

“…The genus Jainus has been recorded in the following hosts in South America: Brycon amazonicus, B. cephalus, B. melanopterus, Chalceus macrolepidotus, Creatochanes affinis, Leporinus copelandii, Moenkhausia sanctaefilomenae, Salminus brasiliensis and Schizodon borellii KRITSKY et al, 1980;COHEN, 1998;ANDRADE et al, 2001;MALTA, 2006;TAKEMOTO et al, 2009;KARLING et al, 2011;COHEN et al, 2012). Tereancistrum has been recorded in Brycon amazonicus, B. melanopterus, Leporinus fasciatus, Prochilodus reticulatus and Salminus brasiliensis (KRITSKY et al, 1980;COHEN, 1998;MALTA, 2006;COHEN et al, 2012).…”
