Male and female adults of P. squamosissimus (Pisces, Teleostei, Sciaenidae) were collected monthly in the Para River that surrounds Capim insland, state of Para (S 010 34. 971` ; W 0480 52.932`), during the month of february 2004 to february 2005, having 234 specimes. The gonads were collected, mounted and processed in accordance with the standard methods of paraffin and analysis using a light microscope. The species under analysis is one of the principal sources of animal protein for the local population, fishing being uninterrupted and intensive throughout the year based on information given by local fisherman, the collection process appears to be determined by an apparent qualiquantitative reduction in local stock. The species represents spawn divisions, the gonad development was characterized in state of repose, maturation, mature and empty or half-empty. Mature gonads were found on the months of december, january and july. Correlation analysis between the maturing state of gonads, seasonal variations in relation to gonadosomatic indexes (GSI) and also the occurrence of spawn in the respective months. Nevertheless, the information obtained in correlation to GSI and mature oocyte mediums and between spermatozoa percentages by seminiferous tubule, respectively, also indicate spawning in the respective months, and apparently that the species represents a more intensive spawning period or a primary spawning period between the months of december and january, and a second or less intensive spawning period in the months of july. Based on the tubular morphology method, eight of the seminiferous epithelium cycle stages (SEC) were determined, stage 1 being seminiferous tubule that are comprised of primary spermatogonia and cysts of the secondary spermatogonia; stage 2 is comprised of primary and seconday spermatogonia and spermatocytes cysts; stage 3 is characterized by primary and secondary spermatogonias, spermatocyte cysts and young spermatids; stage 4 with seminiferous tubule characterized by presence of spermatogonias primary and secondary, spermatocyte and by presence of young and later spermatids cysts; stage 5 represents all of the previously mentioned cells and is highlighted by presence of spermatozoa in the tubule lumen; stage 6 is characterized by reduction of cysts of germinative cells and a considerable increase in number of spermatozoa in the tubular lumen; stage 7 is characterized by seminiferous tubule that contain few cysts of germinative cells and is marked by the begining of a mass emptying of spermatozoa of the tubule lume; stage 8 is the last of the SEC and is characterized by the apparent disorganization of the remaining germinative cellular cysts in the seminiferous tubule.

Kudoa spp. (Myxozoa) infection in musculature of Plagioscion squamosissimus (Sciaenidae) in the Amazon region, Brazil
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2015-06) OLIVEIRA, Joyce Cardim de; SILVA, Michele Velasco Oliveira da; SANTOS, Patrícia de Fátima Saco dos; SILVA, José Mauro Viana; SÃO CLEMENTE, Sérgio Carmona de; MATOS, Edilson Rodrigues
Ninety specimens of Plagioscion squamosissimus captured using fishing tackle in the Outeiro district, state of Pará, were examined. Fish were placed in plastic bags containing water, under conditions of artificial aeration, and transported live to the Carlos Azevedo Research Laboratory (LPCA), in Belém, Pará. They were anesthetized, euthanized and necropsied; small fragments of the epaxial and hypaxial muscles were removed for examination of fresh histological sections by means of optical microscopy. In 100% of the specimens analyzed, parasitic pseudocysts were seen to be interspersed within and between the skeletal muscle. These contained pseudoquadrate and/or star-shaped spores that presented four valves and four polar capsules, which were identified from their morphology as belonging to the genus Kudoa. This is the first report of Kudoa in P. squamosissimus in the Amazon region, Pará, Brazil.
