Braz. j. biol; 81 (2), 2021
This study was carried out in April - June 2014 to determine absolute fecundity (F) of the chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus Houttuyn, 1782) in Saros Bay (Aegean Sea, Turkey). The relations between the absolute fecundity and total length, total weight and age of the chub mackerel females were estimated as...

Fatores que influenciam o crescimento pós-natal de recém-nascidos pré-termos abaixo de 32 semanas de idade gestacional
Factors influencing the postnatal growth of preterm newborns under 32 weeks gestational age

Introdução: Diretrizes internacionais recomendam que os recém-nascidos pré termos devam ter uma taxa de crescimento semelhante à dos fetos normais. No entanto, o déficit de crescimento é comum em pré-termos e está associado a fatores nutricionais e não nutricionais que podem levar a desfechos d...

Sex disparities determined by biometric and hematological measurements in Astyanax bimaculatus

This study aimed to compare the body indexes and hematological characteristics between Astyanax bimaculatus males and females. Four hundred fish were randomly distributed into four polyethylene tanks (100 fish/unit) in a recirculation system and fed four times a day (3% of biomass). After 90 days, ten fi...

Visceral adiposity index as a tool for cardiometabolic risk in obese older women

OBJECTIVE: To correlate anthropometric measurements, lipid profile, cardiorespiratory fitness, and visceral adiposity index (VAI) in sedentary obese older women. METHODS: Twenty-seven insufficiently active and overweight older women were included in this cross-sectional study. We evaluated their anthropo...
