Fish composition (Teleostei) of the estuarine region of the Macaé River, southeastern Brazil [PDF]

Check List, 2014
The first checklist of fishes of the estuary of the Macaé River (Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil) and its adjacent freshwater section is presented. A total of 24,157 specimens belonging to 110 species in 44 families and 21 orders of the Teleostei were ...

Shearing Tooth Morphology May Allow Sharks to Access Higher Trophic Levels at Smaller Sizes

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
Predator morphology imposes limitations on prey selection due to biomechanical constraints, making some prey functionally inaccessible and thereby constraining predator trophic niches. We assessed how two key components of trophic morphology—tooth shape and body size—affect prey selectivity and trophic niche in two sympatric sharks with contrasting ...

Restoring mangrove biodiversity: can restored mangroves support fish assemblages comparable to natural mangroves over time?

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 4, May 2025.
Despite the recent global increase in mangrove restoration efforts, our understanding of the outcomes and recovery of biodiversity and re‐establishing functionality, such as productive fish habitat, is limited due to the lack of long‐term monitoring. Here, we used a space‐for‐time approach to investigate whether restored mangroves attain similar fish ...

Fishers' interactions with endangered “rhinorays” in Karimunjawa National Park, and factors influencing willingness to engage in pro‐conservation behavior

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract The “rhinorays” (giant guitarfish‐Glaucostegidae and wedgefish‐Rhinidae) are a critically endangered group of “shark‐like rays,” which have experienced steep global population declines in the past decade due to overfishing. Their slow life histories and high market value increase the risk of trade‐driven extinction and lead to trade‐offs ...

Reproductive biology of Sciades herzbergii (Siluriformes: Ariidae) in a tropical estuary in Brazil [PDF]

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2012
The present study investigated the reproductive biology of Sciades herzbergii in the Paraíba do Norte River Estuary, Brazil. We aimed to characterize the reproduction of the species with respect to sex ratio, spawning season, condition factor and length at first maturity.

Assessing Fish Community Structure and Diversity Across Environmental Gradients in a Tropical Bay

Marine Ecology, Volume 46, Issue 2, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Understanding the relationship between species distribution and the environment across spatial gradients is crucial for biodiversity evaluation. We surveyed fish populations in a tropical bay, covering a spatial gradient from the outer zone with favorable marine conditions to the inner zone affected by human activities.

Plasma ion levels of freshwater and marine/estuarine teleosts from Southern Brazil

Neotropical Ichthyology
The purpose of this study was to investigate Na+, Cl-, K+, Ca2+, and Mg2+ levels in the plasma of freshwater and marine/estuarine teleosts collected at different salinities (0 to 34) from the estuarine and freshwater portions of the São Gonçalo channel ...

Hyperostosis in Fishes: An Update With New Species Records

Journal of Morphology, Volume 285, Issue 11, November 2024.
Hyperostosis is an enigmatic dimension of diversity in the anatomy of fishes. This excessive overgrowth of bone is natural in origin, occurs almost exclusively in marine fishes, is generally species‐specific, and becomes fully developed only in large individuals. We document hyperostosis in 35 families, 89 genera, and 153 species.

Salinity plays a limited role in determining rates of size evolution in fishes globally across multiple scales

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 33, Issue 9, September 2024.
Abstract Aim Substantial progress has been made to map biodiversity and its drivers across the planet at multiple scales, yet studies that quantify the evolutionary processes that underpin this biodiversity, and test their drivers at multiple scales, are comparatively rare.
