Complete mitochondrial genome and the phylogenetic position of the Leadhued skate Notoraja tobitukai (Rajiformes: Arhynchobatidae). [PDF]
In this study, the complete mitochondrial genome of the Leadhued skate Notoraja tobitukai (Rajiformes: Arhynchobatidae) was determined. It was a circular molecule (16, 799 bp), consisted of 37 genes with a typical gene order in vertebrate mitogenome. In the whole mitogenome, there were 24 bp short intergenic and 26 bp overlaps.

Design and Validation of an Open-Close Device for Integrated Environmental DNA Sampling Detects A Depth Gradient in Indian Ocean Deep-Sea Fish Assemblages. [PDF]
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 ...
