Evaluating the Potential for Citizen Science Divers to Monitor Fish Biodiversity Through Passive eDNA Collection

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Passive capture of eDNA can be used as a tool for citizen scientist SCUBA divers to supplement visual surveys for marine species detection and is particularly useful for species that are rare or visually inaccessible to divers. ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) marker gene sequencing, or metabarcoding, can be a powerful tool for monitoring marine ...

Global Patterns and Gaps in Research on Salinity Tolerance of Inland Fishes

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 400-411, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Freshwater salinization is an emerging threat impacting approximately one‐third of the world's freshwater bodies. However, the salinity tolerance of many inland fishes remains understudied, despite being a crucial factor in determining species distributions and fitness.

Fine‐Scale Bioregionalization in a Complex Island System: A Freshwater Perspective From the Greater Antilles

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The isolated nature of islands makes them particularly vulnerable to climate change. The freshwater fishes of the Greater Antilles remain understudied and are further threatened by habitat fragmentation and the introduction of exotic invasive species.

An ancient clonal lineage in the fish genus Poeciliopsis (Atheriniformes: Poeciliidae). [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1992
Genetic diversity in mtDNA was assessed within the unisexual (all female) hybridogenetic fish Poeciliopsis monacha-occidentalis and the two sexual species from which it arose. Results confirm that P. monacha was the maternal ancestor and that paternal leakage of P. occidentalis mtDNA has not occurred. Of particular interest is the high level of de novo

Revisiting the History of Ornamental Aquaculture in Europe to Understand the Benefits and Drawbacks of Freshwater Fish Imports

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 17, Issue 2, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Ornamental aquaculture and fishkeeping are very popular with millions of enthusiasts worldwide. The number of newly imported fish species for ornamental purposes grew slowly from World War I until the 1980s. It then exponentially increased until now with more than 7900 species and a large number of scientifically undescribed morphotypes.

eDNA Metabarcoding Analysis of Bony Fish Identification in Coastal Water of Gulf of Maine Using Nested Polymerase Chain Reaction of 12S rRNA Universal Primers

Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 6, November–December 2024.
ABSTRACT Ecosystems in coastal waters of Gulf of Maine (GOM) are undergoing environmental challenges in response to climate change and anthropogenic stressors. eDNA metabarcoding, a powerful tool for assessing the fish community structure, was used to identify fish communities in three types of GOM aquatic environments (sand, macroalgae, and eelgrass ...
