Marine catfishes (Ariidae—Siluriformes) from the Coastal Amazon: mitochondrial DNA barcode for a recent diversification group? [PDF]
PeerJBackground Ariidae species play a significant role as fishing resources in the Amazon region. However, the family’s systematic classification is notably challenging, particularly regarding species delimitation within certain genera.

Description of eight new mitochondrial genomes for the genus Neoarius and phylogenetic considerations for the family Ariidae (Siluriformes). [PDF]
Genomics Inform, 2023 The genus Neoarius, known as marine catfish, is a group of the family Ariidae, composed of 10 species found in Oceania. None of the species in this genus have their mitochondrial genome described, which is highly valuable in phylogenetic and molecular ...

The Draft Genome Sequences of 63 Species of Catfish (Ariidae, Siluriformes). [PDF]
Biodivers GenomesWe present genome sequences of 63 species of catfish from the Ariidae family. Illumina sequencing was performed on tissue from wild-collected museum specimens. The reads were assembled using a de novo method followed by a finishing step.

Records of malformed sea catfishes (Ariopsis seemanni and Ariopsis guatemalensis) (Actinopterygii: Siluriformes: Ariidae) off San Blas (Mexican Pacific) [PDF]
Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 2023 Fish malformations can be an important hint for assessing the well-being of their populations and the quality of their habitats. Malformations have been observed in species of the order Siluriformes, including the family Ariidae. In this study, we report

Study of morphological variation of northern Neotropical Ariidae reveals conservatism despite macrohabitat transitions [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018 Background Morphological convergence triggered by trophic adaptations is a common pattern in adaptive radiations. The study of shape variation in an evolutionary context is usually restricted to well-studied fish models. We take advantage of the recently
