Leporinus obtusidens: piapara; boga Explanation: A proper English name seems not to exist. Mostly this fish is referred to by its scientific name, often also as "piapara" (Brazilian form) and "boga" (Argentinian form): http://www.fishingargentina.com/excursioncrucero.html: "We will also find the giant Surubi (Pseudoplatystoma coruscans), the Tararira (Hoplias malabaricus), the Pacú (Colossoma mitrei), the Boga (Leporinus obtusidens), the Pira-Pita (Brycon orbygnianus) and the Chafalote (Raphidion vulpinus)." http://www.si.fcen.uba.ar/fcen/biology/penchaszadeh.htm: "Predation on the invasive freshwater mussel Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker, 1857) (Mytilidae) by the fish Leporinus obtusidens Valenciennes, 1846 (Anostomidae) in the Río de La Plata, Argentine". http://www.fao.org/docrep/W7560E/W7560E06.htm: Piapara | Leporinus obtusidens 2 Piava-bicuda | Leporinus conirostris 1 http://www.brazilspecialist.com/packages/fishinginiguassu/: "That’s where we find the famous “dourado” (Salminus maxillosus), the prefered fish of sport fishermen, as the “surubim” (Pseudoplatystoma fasciatum fasciatum) and the “pintado” (Pseudoplatystoma corruscans) that reach up to 60 kg. Other smaller fishes are “piapara” (Leporinus obtusidens) and “bagre” (Pimelodus clarias maculatus)." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 days (2004-04-17 18:00:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If you are in need of some more references also look into: http://www.fishbase.org/identification/specieslist.cfm?famco... Leporinus obtusidens [] (with photo!) http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S010... Vitamin C supplementation of piauçu (Leporinus obtusidens) http://www.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de/bericht/pc1/public_en... Molecular cytogenetics, organization, and evolutionary conservation of a chromosome specific satellite DNA from Leporinus obtusidens. http://www.way.com.ar/~invasion/English/AmbNat.htm: Another kind of impact is observed at Guaíba lake (Brazil), where the golden mussel prevents the normal development of marsh plants like rushes. The presence of the golden mussel also alters the trophic chains of the environment. For instance, the \"boga\" (Leporinus obtusidens) in the Río de la Plata changed its diet opting for the golden mussel as its main food. http://www.wes.army.mil/el/ansrp/limnoperna_fortunei.htm: Predation by the fish Leporinus obtusidens may assist in decreasing the densities of golden mussel populations Also see why it\'s good to stick to the scientific name: http://filaman.uni-kiel.de/LarvalBase/ComNames/CommonNameSea... 23 Record(s) for Common Name Boga Common Name Country Species Boga Angola Boops boops Boga Argentina Leporinus elongatus Boga Argentina Leporinus obtusidens Boga Azores Islands Boops boops Boga Bermuda Inermia vittata Boga Cape Verde Sarpa salpa Boga Cuba Haemulon striatum Boga Cuba Inermia vittata Boga Finland Boops boops Boga Finland Sarpa salpa Boga France Inermia vittata Boga India Labeo boga Boga Italy Boops boops Boga Jamaica Inermia vittata Boga Madeira Islands Boops boops Boga Peru Orestias cuvieri Boga Portugal Boops boops Boga Portugal Chondrostoma polylepis Boga Spain Boops boops Boga Spain Chondrostoma polylepis Boga Spain Inermia vittata Boga United Kingdom Inermia vittata Boga USA (contiguous states) Inermia vittata http://www.gefweb.org/wprogram/Jan99/undp/Required.doc: In the upper Rio de la Plata, populations of migratory fish -- sábalo (Prochilodus lineatus), boga (Leporinus obtusidens), patí (Luciopimelodus pati) and dorado (Salminus maxillosus) – swim up river, along the lower and middle Parana river at the beginning of autumn and return in the spring. BTW: There was not one reference with \"Leporinus obtusidens\" and \"bogue\" Never forget to grade your questions! |
