The objective of this study was to assess the influence of temperature and time on the storage of fresh Steindachneridion parahybae oocytes. Two experiments were carried out: (1) the fertilization rates of oocytes exposed to temperatures of 5, 15, 28 (room temperature) and 35°C were assessed 15min (control), 115, 235 and 355min after release; (2) the fertilization and hatching rates, as well as the percentage of normal larvae of oocytes exposed to 14, 17 or 20°C, 20min (control) were assessed 50, 80 and 110min after stripping. In the first experiment, the highest fertilization rates (P<0.05) were obtained in the control treatment (15min, 28°C), with 74.34±5.48% oocytes showing loss of viability over time. In the second experiment, there was a reduction (P<0.05) in the fertilization rates at the temperatures and times tested. The artificial fertilization of S. parahybae oocytes is recommended immediately after collection, and if storage is necessary, it should be conducted at temperatures between 17 and 20°C.

To characterize the female reproductive biology of the endangered species Steindachneridion parahybae in captivity, the authors used the concentration of gonadal steroids and the oocyte development during the annual reproductive cycle (RC) and after artificial induced spawning (AIS) until 48 h. Three stages of gonadal maturation were identified, based on morphological and physiological features: early maturation or previtellogenic (PRV) oocyte, advanced maturation or vitellogenic (VTG) oocyte and regression (REG) or follicular atresia. They identified and characterized the following stages of germ cells: oogonia, perinucleolar and cortical alveoli, and VTG and atretic oocytes during RC.

Structural modifications in the gill membranes maintain homeostasis under the influence of temperature changes. We hypothesized that thermal acclimation would result in significant modification of phospholipid fatty acids, with modulation of sodium pump activity during acute (24 and 48 h) and chronic (15 days) thermal shifts in the neotropical reophilic catfish Steindachneridion parahybae. Indeed, the time-course experiment showed acute and chronic changes in gill membrane at the lowest temperatures, notably linked to maintenance of membrane fluidity: significant preferential changes in phosphatidylethanolamine, with decrease of saturated fatty acids and increase of C18:1 in all groups kept below 30 °C in chronic trial, increase in polyunsaturated fatty acids n6 and C18:1 at 17 and 12 °C compared to 24 °C, as soon as the temperature was changed (initial time).

Background: The gray catfish known as Surubim-do-Paraíba (Steindachneridion parahybae), which is endemic to the Paraíba do Sul river basin, is on the red list of Brazilian fauna threatened with extinction and the cryopreservation of germ cells of this fish is needed in support of conservation.
Objective: We aimed to assess the effect of storage temperature on S. parahybae mature and immature oocytes.

The viability of post-thaw fish oocytes can be affected by different stages of the freezing process, such as cryoprotectant toxicity, cold sensitivity, freezing curves and thawing. Therefore, these steps need to be investigated for the development of a protocol. In the present study, the aim was to investigate chilling sensitivity at different oocyte stages of .
