Background: The Leporinus genus, belonging to the Anostomidae family, is an interesting model for studies of sex chromosome evolution in fish, particularly because of the presence of heteromorphic sex chromosomes only in some species of the genus. In this study we used W chromosome-derived probes in a series of cross species chromosome painting experiments to try to understand events of sex chromosome evolution in this family.Results: W chromosome painting probes from Leporinus elongatus, L. macrocephalus and L. obtusidens were hybridized to each others chromosomes. The results showed signals along their W chromosomes and the use of L. elongatus W probe against L. macrocephalus and L. obtusidens also showed signals over the Z chromosome. No signals were observed when the later aforementioned probe was used in hybridization procedures against other four Anostomidae species without sex chromosomes.Conclusions: Our results demonstrate a common origin of sex chromosomes in L. elongatus, L. macrocephalus and L. obtusidens but suggest that the L. elongatus chromosome system is at a different evolutionary stage. The absence of signals in the species without differentiated sex chromosomes does not exclude the possibility of cryptic sex chromosomes, but they must contain other Leporinus W sequences than those described here. © 2013 Parise-Maltempi et al.; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.

The present study aimed at evaluating the productive performance of Leporinus macrocephalus fed with different levels of inclusion of poultry viscera meal replacing fish meal. The experiment was conducted in a stove located in the Universidade Estadual do Oeste do Paraná during 45 days. We used 200 fish with average initial length of 4.7 ± 0.37 cm and average initial weight of 1.407 ± 0.03 g, distributed in 20 net-cages. The experimental design was randomized with five treatments and five replicates with five levels of replacement of fish meal by poultry viscera meal (0, 25, 50, 75, 100%). The parameters evaluated were the productive performance and the chemical composition of animals. The inclusion of poultry viscera meal in the substitution of fish meal in the feeding of Leporinus macrocephalus can be used without impairing the performance of the animals.

Em eucariotos os íntrons de mRNAs codificantes de proteína são retirados e os éxons são mantidos junto ao transcrito primário pela maquinaria do spliceossomo. Este consiste em um grande complexo RNA-proteína que contém mais de 200 proteínas e cinco tipos de RNAs não codificantes, metabolicamente estáveis, conhecidos como snRNAs U, que incluem U1, U2, U4, U5 e U6. Os genes snRNA U estão presentes em múltiplas cópias dispersas no genoma de diversos eucariotos e parecem apresentar comportamento semelhante aqueles dos elementos móveis exibindo pouca conservação sintênica. No presente trabalho pretendia-se estudar a organização genômica e a localização cromossômica do gene snRNA U1 em espécies de peixes do gênero Leporinus, que é um grupo de peixes que se configura como um modelo interessante para estudo de DNAs repetitivos e evolução genômica em peixes. Porém, após diversas tentativas não foi possível amplificar este gene e então optou-se por estudar o gene snRNA U2. O DNA genômico de diferentes espécies de Leporinus e de Schizodon (grupo próximo evolutivamente) foi amplificado utilizando primers específicos para o gene, por meio da técnica de PCR e os produtos obtidos enviados para o sequenciamento. O tamanho encontrado para essa sequência correspondeu a aproximadamente 200 pb, valor esse já encontrado para outras espécies. As sequências foram analisadas e resultados não concisos das sequencias obtidas não permitiram análises subsequentes. A localização cromossômica do gene foi realizada por meio da técnica de hibridação in situ e as marcações foram evidenciadas em um par cromossômico submetacêntrico de tamanho médio em todas as espécies. A localização destas sequências não mostrou relação com cromossomos sexuais, presentes em algumas das espécies analisadas, mas demonstrou forte evidência de conservação do gene entre as diferentes espécies estudadas

Leporinus latofasciatus was described by Steindachner (1910) on the basis of a single specimen collected in the rio Orinoco, Venezuela. Since then, no other specimen of the species was mentioned in the literature, and the species was only listed in catalogues, eventually mentioned and treated as a ""poorly known"" species, or even omitted in checklists of fishes from Venezuela. During a visit to the fish collection at the Naturhistorisches Museum at Vienna (NMW) to examine all the type specimens of Leporinus, we were able to study the holotype of Leporinus latofasciatus and recognize that the specimen corresponds to the species described by Myers and Fernandez-Yepez (in Myers, 1950) as Synaptolaemus cingulatus. Thus, the latter is a junior synonym of Leporinus latofasciatus and, based on that, Synaptolaemus latofasciatus (Steindachner, 1910) should be the name applied for this taxon, as a new combination. Herein new data on the holotype of Synaptolaemus latofasciatus are presented and compared with previously data from other authors. In addition, illustrations of live specimens are presented as well as new distribution records for the species.

Leporinus obtusidens Valenciennes, 1837 and L. elongatus Valenciennes, 1850 are redescribed based on the type specimens, including those of their junior synonyms, and recently collected specimens. Leporinus obtusidens is considered to be widespread, occuring in the river drainages of La Plata, São Francisco, and Parnaíba. Leporinus aguapeiensis Campos, 1945, described from the upper Rio Paraná, and L. silvestrii Boulenger, 1902, described from the Rio Paraguay, are considered junior synonyms of L. obtusidens. Leporinus elongatus is endemic to the Rio Jequitinhonha and Rio Pardo, two eastern Brazilian river basins, and the locality cited for the lectotype, Rio São Fransico, likely to be erroneous. Leporinus crassilabris Borodin, 1929, and L. crassilabris breviceps Borodin, 1929, both described from the Rio Jequitinhonha, are considered junior synynoms of L. elongatus. A new species of Leporinus, endemic to the upper Rio Paraná, very similar and sometimes mistaken with L. obtusidens, is formally described. In addition, comments on Leporinus pachyurus Valenciennes, 1850 and on L. bimaculatus Castelnau, 1855 are provided, and a lectotype for L. bimaculatus is selected.
