Aquatic organisms are increasingly exposed to lowering of environmental pH due to anthropogenic pressure (e.g. acid rain, acid mine drainages). Such acute variations trigger imbalance of fish-Associated microbiota, which in turn favour opportunistic diseases. We used the tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum), an Amazonian fish tolerant to significant pH variation in its natural environment, to assess the response of ...
The authors regret to inform that the following sentence has been misworded in the abstract. “Toxicity of Ni at pH 4 was negatively related to DOC concentration and amount of humic-like and fulvic-like DOC and positively related to fluorescence index.” should read “Toxicity of Ni at pH 4 was POSITIVELY related to DOC concentration and amount of humic-like and fulvic-like DOC and NEGATIVELY related to fluorescen...
Anesthetic effect of Aloysia triphylla and Lippia alba essential oils (EOs) in the Amazonian fish Serrasalmus eigenmanni was evaluated. The fish were placed in aquaria containing A. triphylla or L. alba EOs (25 to 200 µL L-1). Then, fish were transferred to aquaria containing EO-free water to evaluate their recovery time. In another experiment, fish were transferred to aquaria containing A. triphylla or L. alba...
