An enigmatic teleost fish from the Eocene of Bolca (Italy) with unusual larval‐like features
Abstract ‘Pegasus’ volans is a highly unusual fossil teleost fish from the celebrated Eocene Bolca Lagerstätte. The fossil, known on the basis of two specimens, has been historically assigned to seamoths (Pegasidae), then to oarfishes and relatives (Lampriformes).

Genome size and AT content in Anguilliformes.
The genome sizes (GS) and AT contents of five species of Anguilliformes (Anguilla anguilla, Anguilla rostrata, Conger conger, Gymnothorax unicolor and Muraena helena) belonging to three families (Anguillidae, Congridae and Muraenidae) were determined by flow cytometry and densitometry.

The goal of this study was to leverage existing survey technology to design and test an eDNA sampler that captures an integrated eDNA sample over the length of a deep‐water transect. We provide a biological interpretation of the resulting data, demonstrating the usefulness of such technology to understand the ocean environments, using fish species as ...

ABSTRACT Instream barriers disrupt the connectivity of rivers worldwide, threatening fish communities by limiting access to essential habitats. Innovative conduit fishways, such as the siphon fishway with flow regulators, have potential for improving native fish passage in Australian rivers but necessitate fish to negotiate pressure reduction below ...

Natural diets of leptocephalus larvae have been enigmatic. In this study, we collected DNA samples from the gut contents and body surface of leptocephali belonging to the five Anguilliform families (Anguillidae, Chlopsidae, Congridae, Muraenidae, and ...

Genetic identification of marine eels through DNA barcoding from Parangipettai coastal waters
Anguilliformes, also known as “true eels”, are an ecologically diverse group of predominantly marine origin whose members were easily recognized by their extremely elongated bodies with reduced cross-sectional areas and universal lack of pelvic fins. The

The finding of three specimens of Nessorhamphus ingolfianus (Schmidt 1912), obtained in front of Valdivia (39º 44'S; 70º 39'W) is reported. This proves to be the first record of this species for the Southeastern Pacific and for the Chilean ichthyofauna.
