Organization of the cephalic lateral-line canals in Electrophorus varii de Santana, Wosiacki, Crampton, Sabaj, Dillman, Mendes-Júnior & Castro e Castro, 2019 (Gymnotiformes: Gymnotidae)

Verçoza, Gabriel; Shibuya, Akemi; Bastos, Douglas A; Zuanon, Jansen; Rapp Py-Daniel, Lúcia H.

Neotrop. ichthyol; 19 (2), 2021

Electrophorus spp. generate high-voltage electric discharges for defense and hunting, and low-voltage electric discharges (as other Gymnotiformes) for electrolocation and communication. Despite intense interest in the unusual electrogenic and electroreceptive capacities of electric eels, the other sensor...

Neotrop. ichthyol; 18 (3), 2020

In this study, the composition of the diet and the feeding activity of Electrophorus varii were evaluated. The influence of ontogeny and seasonality in these feeding parameters was also examined. Fish were collected in the Curiaú River Basin, Amazon, Brazil, from March 2005 to February 2006, during the ...

Record of the rare Caribbean mud eel, Pythonichthys sanguineus (Heterenchelyidae, Anguilliformes), in the region of the Amazon Reef

Rotundo, Matheus Marcos; Machado, Leonardo; Oliveira, Claudio; Santos, Wagner César Rosa dos; Marceniuk, Alexandre Pires.

Acta amaz; 49 (2), 2019

As they spend most of their time buried in the substrate and are not a fishery resource, heterenchelyids are seldom seen. These eels are characterized by their greatly reduced eyes, which are covered by semi-transparent skin, the absence of a pectoral fin or lateral line, and no pores on the head or body...

Feeding behavior and follower fishes of Myrichthys ocellatus (Anguilliformes: Ophichthidae) in the western Atlantic

Araújo, Maria E; Pereira, Pedro H. C; Feitosa, João L. L; Gondolo, Guilherme; Pimenta, Daniel; Nottingham, Mara C.

Neotrop. ichthyol; 7 (3), 2009

This paper described aspects of feeding behavior of Myrichthys ocellatus in the Western Atlantic, using diving observations and additional data from literature. The feeding behavior of M. ocellatus was characterized by scanning the sand surface and searching for buried preys, using its head and tail as a...
