Record 2
Geographical area of study Upper Tibagi river basin Ponta Grossa, state of Parana, Brazil
Source of chromosomes Anterior kidney
Number of specimens with sex 12 (07 males; 05 females)
Diploid chromosome number 66
Karyotype formula 12m+16sm+10st +28a
Fundamental arm number 104
Chromosome length Not reported
Sex chromosome Not evident
Chromosome staining/banding/FISH C-banding revealed two large heterochromatic blocks corresponding to short arm of one pair of submetacentric chromosomes and slight labeling in one pair of acrocentric chromosomes. Silver impregnation revealed 4-6 Ag-NORs, all in terminal positions of the chromosome arms with intra-individual variation. These same regions were revealed by double staining with CMA3/DAPI as rich in GC bases and confirmed by FISH with the 18S probe.

Sex chromosome Not detected
Chromosome staining/banding/FISH Heterochromatin detected as a large segment on the second metacentric pair and at centromeric region on a few chromosomes. AgNOR located at interstitial region on short arms of m pair 2. The 18S and 5S rDNA sites located syntenic and adjacent. The 5SrDNA is proximal on short arms and the 18S rDNA is adjacent and distal to this site on the m pair 2.
