The order Gymnotiformes is a monophyletic group of Neotropical electric fish widely distributed in Central and South America, into which is inserted the Gymnotus. Although this kind presents certain characteristics, the group has a high diversity and high intraspecific variability, which complicates the identification of these species. In contrast, several studies focused on cytogenetics …
The Neotropical region, wihch includes to the countries of Central and South America, such as Brazil, is considered the richest in fish species in the world. With about 4030 species already described, only 62 were described with differentiated sex chromosomes including the genus Characidium, the richest in number of species of the Chrenuchidae family. Most of these species present, the me…
The genus Characidium is considered the most specious in the Crenuchidae family. These small fish inhabit fast outflow streams, frequently gravitate around rock silts and vegetation. The species Characidium zebra, belonging to this genus, has data in cytogenetic nature that presuppose the existence of a close relationship between the different populations of Characidium zebra that have be…
