The complete mitochondrial genome of Arius arius (Siluriformes: Ariidae). [PDF]
The threadfin sea catfish (Arius arius) belongs to the genus Arius in Ariidae. In this paper, we initially determined the complete mitochondrial genome of Arius arius. The mitochondrial genome is 16, 711 bp in length, with the base composition on the heavy strand: A - 29.67%, T - 25.38%, C - 29.70% and G - 15.25%.

Sea catfishes (Ariidae) feeding on freshwater floodplains of northern Australia [PDF]
Flooding of the terminal floodplains of northern Australian rivers provides a greatly expanded, productive habitat accessed by both freshwater and estuarine fishes. This study aimed to determine the extent to which sea catfishes (Ariidae) make use of floodplains and the reasons for doing so (i.e. spawning, feeding).

DNA barcoding of marine rocky reef fishes from northern Peru suggests a parapatric speciation in the Tropical Eastern Pacific. [PDF]
Using a DNA barcoding technique we found evidence that reinforce the hypotheses of how parapatric speciation could drive the origin of new species in the TEP. Abstract Northern Peru marks the end of an extensive coastal marine region: The Panama province, which is characterized by predominantly tropical and equatorial features and is home to the only ...
