The dental plate on bichir pectoral fins: A unique dermal skeletal element bearing individual odontodes with tooth‐like replacement

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Pectoral fins of bichirs encompass the so‐called dental plates – unique dermal skeletal elements with individual odontodes identical to the oral teeth. Abstract The dermal skeleton appeared early in vertebrate evolution in the form of mineralized skin denticles composed of tooth‐like units—odontodes.

Assessing variation in the potential susceptibility of fish to pharmaceuticals, considering evolutionary differences in their physiology and ecology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Fish represent the planet's most diverse group of vertebrates and they can be exposed to a wide range of pharmaceuticals. For practical reasons, extrapolation of pharmaceutical effects from 'model' species to other fish species is adopted in risk ...

A bristle‐nosed Jurassic ray‐finned fish (Actinopterygii) bears true dermal odontodes on its snout

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Teeth show extreme diversity, including tooth‐like dermal odontodes or “skin teeth” in many extant fishes. We describe the anatomy of enlarged tubercles on the snout of Redfieldius, an extinct early Jurassic fish. We found that the tubercles in Redfieldius are dermal odontodes that evolved independently from those of living species. Abstract Comparison

Complete mitogenomes of five ecologically diverse Australian freshwater fishes

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019
Complete mitochondrial genome sequences were determined for five species of Australian freshwater fishes, representing a diverse range of ecologies and life histories. Mitogenomes were sequenced and annotated for Craterocephalus stramineus (Atherinidae);

Genetic Reference Gaps Limit eDNA Metabarcoding and Biodiversity Monitoring of Tropical Mangrove Ecosystems

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
This review reveals major genetic data gaps for Philippine mangrove fauna, especially invertebrates, limiting species‐level eDNA detection. By compiling 48 years of biodiversity records and assessing reference library coverage, it highlights the need for targeted sequencing and shows how integrating eDNA with conventional surveys strengthens monitoring

A Continuum of Biodiversity: Revealing Marine Tropical Fish Diversity From Intra‐ to Interspecific Variation Through Environmental DNA

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
This study applies eDNA metabarcoding on conserved and hypervariable mitochondrial markers to assess species diversity in Caribbean marine fishes and population haplotype diversity in grunts. By standardizing biodiversity monitoring across scales, eDNA provides a unified understanding of the processes generating diversity patterns from populations to ...

Fisheries Trade and Blue Nutrient Flows in Pacific Island Countries

open access: yesFish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 3, Page 466-477, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Pacific Island Countries (PICs) are located in highly productive fishing regions that supply nutrient‐rich fish to global markets. Marine fisheries are a critical source of protein and essential micronutrients for billions of people worldwide, supporting both local diets and global food security.
