... of equilibrium (LOE) during a critical thermal maximum (CT max ) protocol. Two species were studied, Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ) and pacu ( Piaractus mesopotamicus ). Each fish underwent an incremental swim test to determine gait transition speed ( U GT ), where it first engaged the unsteady anaerobic...

... such as fishes. To test this linear threshold shift hypothesis(LINTS) in fishes, we examined the effects of increased ambient sound on hearing of two species differing in hearing capabilities: goldfish( Carassius auratus ; a hearing specialist) and tilapia( Oreochromis niloticus ; a hearing generalist). Fish...

... muscle fibres from O. andersonii which were homozygous for either LC1 f2 * or LC1 f1 * were 5.3 and 3.3, respectively, compared with 3.8 when both alleles were present. Crosses between Oreochromis niloticus and O. andersonii produced F1 hybrids which were heterozygous for either LC1 n /LC1 f1 * or LC1 n...
