The reproductive hiology and cycle of Rioraja agassizi (Muller and Henle, 1841) (Chondrichthyes : Rajidae) in southeastern Brazil, SW Atlantic Ocean

Specimens of Rioraja agassizi were collected Lit Guaruja pier, São Paulo State, Brazil, from March 2005 to March 2006. A total of: 275 males were captured. Based on the analysis of the clasper length, gonad weight, clasper gland length, alar thorns and lobule diameter, the size-at-maturity was estimated to be 32 cm. There were 1049 females in the record. Size-at-maturity was calculated in 40 cm. Sexual resting females were observed. Gonadosomatic and hepatosomatic indexes varied significantly in both sexes throughout the year. However, ovulation, egg-laying and presence of sperm in the seminal vesicle were observed all year round. For this reason, an annual cycle with at least one peak in the sexual activity is proposed for this species.

MULLER CELLS AND DIABETIC-RETINOPATHY

Muller cells provide nutrition for neural cells. We studied the structure and ultrastructure of Muller cells in the retina of thirty 3-month old Wistar rats; divided equally into 3 groups: normal rats, alloxan diabetic rats and treated alloxan diabetic rats. 1 and 12 months after induction of diabetes. We observed that the Muller cell nuclei under light microscope examination had hexagonal shape and higher density than the other nuclei. Differences between groups could be observed only by electron microscopy. In the diabetic rats, Muller cells presented dispersion of nuclear chromatin and electrondense nuclear granulations, with the presence of increased glycogen, dense bodies and lysosomes in the cytoplasm. The alterations were more frequent in the perivascular region and at 12 months. The treated diabetic rats exhibited some alterations we observed in diabetic rats. but these alterations were less intense. We conclude that, despite the treatment, the diabetic retinopathy continues to evolve.

Osservazioni in ambiente controllato del ciclo riproduttivo e delle prime fasi di accrescimento di Chiloscyllium punctatum (Muller & Henle 1838)

La presente tesi tratta delle attività riproduttive e delle prime fasi di crescita dello squalo Chiloscyllium punctatum. Da Dicembre 2013 a Giugno 2014, all’Acquario di Cattolica, sono state effettuate osservazioni su una coppia di adulti riproduttori e sui relativi neonati mantenuti in ambiente controllato. Il Chiloscyllium punctatum è una specie ovipara che rilascia uova di forma rettangolare, ha un ciclo riproduttivo relativamente rapido ed è molto sfruttata come specie ornamentale dagli acquari di tutto il mondo. Per ottenere una corretta gestione in ambiente controllato, la riproduzione ed estrapolare il maggior numero d’informazioni certe su gli stadi di vita, sulla dieta di divezzamento dei neonati dal sacco vitellino, sull’illuminazione più consona da adottare, sulle dimensioni medie di uova, nascituri e adulti, sulla crescita dei nascituri, sui tempi di sviluppo embrionale, sulla frequenza di deposizione delle uova e sui tempi di schiusa è stato necessario sviluppare un corretta procedura di gestione ordinaria. In 7 mesi, gli adulti di C. punctatum, in condizioni ambientali ottimali e costanti, hanno dato vita a 33 neonati. Questi sono stati sottoposti a misurazioni di lunghezza (LT, cm) e peso corporeo (PC, g) per valutare l’influenza dell’illuminamento e della dieta sulla crescita. Inoltre, sono stati confrontati dati sperimentali (e.g. tempistiche di sviluppo embrionale) con dati bibliografici (Haraush et al., 2007) che hanno evidenziato alcune similitudini e differenze.
