The piranha genome provides molecular insight associated to its unique feeding behavior [PDF]
The piranha enjoys notoriety due to its infamous predatory behavior but much is still not understood about its evolutionary origins and the underlying molecular mechanisms for its unusual feeding biology.

Tetraodon genome confirms Takifugu findings : most fish are ancient polyploids [PDF]
An evolutionary hypothesis suggested by studies of the genome of the tiger pufferfish Takifugu rubripes has now been confirmed by comparison with the genome of a close relative, the spotted green pufferfish Tetraodon nigroviridis.

150 million years of freshwater fish biogeography: vicariance or dispersal? [PDF]
Freshwater fishes are supposedly good case studies to test palaeobiogeographical models because they are attached to land masses, at least primary freshwater fishes, which are unable to cross marine barriers.

Complete mitochondrial genome of scorpionfish Scorpaena neglecta (Actinopterygii)
Scorpaena neglecta (Temminck and Schlegel, 1843) is a marine fish, in the family Scorpaenidae, order Scorpaeniformes, class Actinopterygii of the phylum Chordata. The first species of Scorpaena with a complete mitochondrial genome is described in the present study. The circular mitochondrial genome of S. neglecta has 17,202 bp with 54.75% A + T content

New records of two southern fishes found in northern waters of the Iberian Peninsula [PDF]
The first records of the spearfish remora, Remora brachyptera (Lowe, 1839) (Actinopterygii: Echeneidae), and the white grouper, Epinephelus aeneus (Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1817) (Actinopterygii: Serranidae), from northern Spanish waters are reported ...

Confocal Characterization of Intestinal Dendritic Cells from Myxines to Teleosts
Dendritic cells (DCs) are antigen-presenting cells (APCs) that regulate the beginning of adaptive immune responses. The mechanisms of tolerance to antigens moving through the digestive tract are known to be regulated by intestinal DCs.

Intestinal microbiome richness of coral reef damselfishes (Actinopterygii: Pomacentridae)
Abstract Fish gastro-intestinal system harbours diverse microbiomes that affect the host’s digestion, nutrition and immunity. Despite the great taxonomic diversity of fish, little is understood about fish microbiome and the factors that determine its structure and composition.

A haplotype-resolved draft genome of the European sardine (Sardina pilchardus) [PDF]
The European sardine (Sardina pilchardus Walbaum, 1792) is culturally and economically important throughout its distribution. Monitoring studies of sardine populations report an alarming decrease in stocks due to overfishing and environmental change ...
