Cryptofauna Associated With the Epilithic Algal Matrix on Subtropical Brazilian Reefs

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The epilithic algal matrix (EAM) plays a significant role in the benthic cover of reefs worldwide. In Brazil, the EAM accounts for a substantial proportion of the benthos, and its associated fauna contributes to the majority of the reef's metazoan biodiversity and is an important link into the trophic chain, connecting the production performed

Diversification of Aquaculture Production in Relation to Global Change: The Case of the Domestication of Indigenous Euryhaline Catfish Species (Siluriformes) in the Mekong River Delta, Viet Nam

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT The Mekong River Delta, the heart of Vietnam's aquaculture industry, is facing many challenges due to climate change, particularly salinity intrusion. In this context, this review aimed to assess the potential of indigenous euryhaline catfish species to diversify fish farming, strengthen food security, and build resilience in the region. Among

Occurrence, Abundance, and Diversity of Gill Fouling Organisms in Snow Crab, Chionoecetes opilio (O. Fabricius, 1788), (Decapoda, Brachyura, and Oregoniidae) in the Northwestern Atlantic Ocean, Canada

International Journal of Zoology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Gill fouling organisms (GFO) in snow crab (Chionoecetes opilio) were identified and grouped into 10 taxons, representing 7 phyla. An unknown harpacticoid copepod species (Coullia sp.) was described and the presence of a kinorhyncha species (Echinoderes sp.) was first observed.

On the Fallacy of Color Discrimination: The Rise and Fall of a Rare and Endemic Box Crab (Brachyura: Calappidae)

Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The Mediterranean Sea is one of the major reservoirs of marine biodiversity and harbors an exceptionally high number of endemic species. Nevertheless, the taxonomic status of many of these endemics still requires confirmation through integrative, modern approaches.
