Lack of intermuscular bones in specimens of Colossoma macropomum: An unusual phenotype to be incorporated into genetic improvement programs

TLDR
This finding may provide the basis for important research aimed at understanding the genetic origin of this phenotype, which could be incorporated into genetic breeding programs to develop other boneless strains of tambaqui as well as other Characiforme and Cypriniforme species.

South American fish species suitable for aquaponics: a review

TL;DR: Data for five South American fish species with potential for aquaponics were compared with existing data for the main traditional warm water species in this system, tilapia and catfish and the degree of suitability of the novel species for these systems in terms of zootechnical performance, tolerance to water quality and nutritional composition of fish flesh were discussed.

Genetic parameter estimates for intermuscular bone in blunt snout bream (Megalobrama amblycephala) based on a microsatellite-based pedigree

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the heritability of the number of intermuscular bones (IBs) in blunt snout bream (Megalobrama amblycephala), which is one major aquaculture species in China.

Life history and management of the tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum, Characidae): an important Amazonian food fish

TL;DR: The genus has not been adequately revised, but it appears to be represented by only two species in the Amazon Basin, and the Amazonianspecies are much confused in the literature, but easily distinguished up onexamination of live or dead specimens.

Flesh quality improvement in fish through breeding

TL;DR: There is an unfavourable genetic correlation between body weight and the traits fat percentage and area of fat depot, and the expected response to selection in quality traits varies between 5 and 15% per generation.

Cage culture of tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) in a central Amazon floodplain lake

TL;DR: Economic sensitivity analysis showed that economic performance of tambaqui raised in cages is more sensitive to sale price then to feed cost, and higher stocking densities should be tested to increase fish yield/m 3.
