First description of microchromosome in the Anostomidae fish Schizodon nasutus from Argentina

Abstract: Thirty-six specimens of Schizodon nasutus (Anostomidae-Characiformes) from the middle Paraná River (Posadas, Argentina) were analyzed cytogenetically. The karyotype of this species was similar to those described for this species in the literature. C-banding technique showed a rich heterochromatic pattern relative to other Anostomidae species. The NORs were located on one chromosome pair in terminal position and showed a very marked size heteromorphism. A microchromosome was observed with a frequency of about 2… Show more

“…Other cases of extra chromosomes in fish are now well known (Venere and Galetti, 1985;Hochberg and Erdtmann, 1988;Oliveira et al, 1988;Foresti et al, 1989;Fenocchio and Bertollo, 1990;Oliveira and Foresti, 1993;Pastori et al, 1997). In Astyanax scabripinnis different populations have often shown one or two B chromosomes, or even up to five Bs, while several others showed none of these chromosomes (Salvador and Moreira-Filho, 1992;Maistro et al, 1992;Stange and Almeida-Toledo, 1993).…”

“…Além da distribuição da heterocromatina nos cromossomos, sua relação com as Ag-NORs é muito diversa entre os peixes e possivelmente indicam diferenças organizacionais envolvendo segmentos cromossômicos (Galetti-Junior, 1998). A maioria das espécies dos Anostomidae apresentam Ag-RONs do tipo simples, com marcações nos cromossomos complementares (Pastori, Fenocchio & López, 1997;Pereira et al, 2002). Para L. vitattus e L. striatus esta característica não foi diferente, e a semelhança na quantidade de marcações Ag-RONs em espécies distintas conferem uma significância taxônomica como um marcador populacional nesses grupos (Galetti--Junior, Foresti, Bertollo & Moreira-Filho, 1984).…”

“…Another emblematic matter concerning the karyotype of fish regards the occurrence of B or supernumerary chromosomes, as it is observed in Apareiodon piracicabae and Paraligosarcus pintoi [ 70 ], Prochilodus lineatus and P. cearensis [ 71 ], Curimata modesta [ 72 ], Steindachnerina insculpta [ 73 ], Schizodon [ 74 ], among others. Those are additional chromosomes that do not recombine with those from the standard karyotype complement and follow their own evolutionary path [ 75 ].…”
