Photos of the dead seven-foot long
arapaima, weighing some 108kg, have since circulated on local social media.
Henneguya aequidens occurred in 33.3% of the gills of Aequidens plagiozonatus individuals (VIDEIRA et al., 2015); whereas in
Arapaima gigas, Henneguya
arapaima parasitized the gill arches and gall bladder with a prevalence of 11.7% and 82.3%, respectively (FEIJO et al., 2008).
Pirarucu
Arapaima gigas (Osteoglossomorpha: Osteoglossidae) is a large carnivorous fish species of high commercial value and great aquaculture potential in the Amazon region.
In the case of another overexploited fish species--the enormous, air-breathing pirarucu (
Arapaima gigas)--scientists formed alliances with local people to create protected areas and management plans, preserving both fish stocks and the income of the fishermen.

Arapaima gigas Schinz, 1822, commonly known as pirarucu or
arapaima, is considered one of the biggest freshwater fish reaching approximately 200 Kg and 2.5 m long (Ono, Roubach, & Pereira-Filho, 2003; Saint-Paul, 1986).
"In the close margins, there appeared to be quite a lot of activity from predatory fish, including some big
Arapaima, which made me feel the Siamese carp would most likely try to keep away from these ferocious predators.
Arapaima gigas (Osteoglossiformes: Arapaimatidae; commonly known as pirarucu) stands out among Neotropical fish.
Among the species most exploited and consumed by the regional population, the pirarucu
Arapaima gigas (Schinz 1822), known as Amazon cod, is highly valued in the market, especially when its meat is marketed dried and preserved with salt.
