Dental development in the tropical gar (Atractosteus tropicus) and the evolution of vertebrate dentitions

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Dentitions have diversified enormously during vertebrate evolution, involving reductions, modifications, or allocations to prey seizing and processing regions. A combination of ancient and novel features related to dental and oropharyngeal apparatuses is found in extant lineages of non‐teleost fishes, such as the gars.

Genetically superior European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) and nutritional innovations: Effects of functional feeds on fish immune response, disease resistance, and gut microbiota

Aquaculture Reports, 2023
The objective of this study was to determine if selected fish genotypes could benefit from the use of functional additives in novel aqua feed formulations to improve growth performance, gut microbiota, immune response, and disease resistance in fish. Two

Consumer diversity drives stronger predation in tropical marine communities

Ecography, EarlyView.
Biotic interactions are predicted to be stronger in the tropics compared to higher latitudes, contributing to observed patterns of global biodiversity. While increased consumer diversity and more complex food webs are expected in tropical communities, the trophic dynamics underlying strong regional effects of predation are not well understood.

Comparing and Connecting Growth, Surface Feeding, and Catchability Across Six Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) Strains in a Controlled Hatchery Setting

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries
Growth and behaviour of fish in aquaculture and hatchery settings directly influence their market and stocking readiness. Despite their importance in recreational fisheries and high protein‐to‐energy content, the performance of brook trout in controlled ...

Dietary postbiotics supplementation improves growth, survival rate, antioxidant capacity, non-specific immunity and gut health of juvenile oriental river prawn (Macrobrachium nipponense)

Aquaculture Reports, 2023
Antibiotics use in aquaculture cause multiple adverse effects on aquatic animal health. Accordingly, studies on alternative approaches to antibiotics in aquaculture are urgently required.

Fish Scales: A Multifunctional Biomaterial from Nature

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Fish scales demonstrate nature's solution to impact protection through overlapping multilayered architecture. This biological design combines mineralized surfaces with collagen networks to achieve both flexibility and fracture resistance. The structural principles inspire advanced protective materials and biomedical implants, where damage tolerance ...

Comparison of immune defense and antioxidant capacity between broodstock and hybrid offspring of oriental river shrimp (Macrobrachium nipponense): Response to acute nitrite stress

Aquaculture Reports, 2023
Nitrite is an environmental pollutant in cultures of Macrobrachium nipponense and may induce oxidative stress and apoptosis. The oriental river prawn is an important economic aquaculture species in China, Japan, and Southeast Asia but is experiencing ...
