Fishes exhibit the greatest biodiversity among extant vertebrates. In fact, about 34,000 fish species are currently estimated, of which ~ 25% are living in Neotropical freshwaters. Currently, several leading-edge studies using molecular biology procedures have largely contributed to the investigation of the fish genomic architecture at the chromosomal level. In this review, we intend to demonstrate that conventional cytogenetics is also a powerful procedure to identify and clarify both individual and inter- or intrapopulational fish characteristics and to unveil their biodiversity.
