Infection patterns and pathology of the cymothoid parasite, Olencira praegustator, in its primary host the Atlantic menhaden [PDF]
, 2018 Cymothoid parasites have many deleterious effects on their hosts’ fitness. Atlantic menhaden (Brevoortia tyrannus) support the largest fishery on the Atlantic coast and are frequently parasitized by the cymothoid parasite Olencira praegustator.

Complete Mitochondrial Genome of the Araucanian Herring, <i>Strangomera bentincki</i>, Norman, 1936 (Teleostei: Clupeiformes: Clupeidae): Phylogenetic Analysis and Implications in Fishmeal Traceability. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAraucanian herring (Strangomera bentincki) is a pelagic fish whose main processed products are fishmeal and oil. The complete mitogenome is 16,758 bp, consisting of 13 coding genes, two rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, and the control region. Phylogenetic analysis supported a monophyletic clade with Sprattus muelleri and Sprattus antipodum.

Severe Outbreak of Saprolegnia Spp. Infection in Spotted Snakehead (Channa punctata, Bloch 1793): Clinical Assessment, Histopathology, Haemato-Biochemical Indices and Insights Into Therapeutic Effects. [PDF]
Vet Med SciSpotted snakehead (Channa punctata) naturally infected with Saprolegnia spp. were confirmed by clinical signs, wet mount examination and histopathology. In the therapeutic trial using various chemotherapeutics, elevated temperature combined with 2% NaCl (T4) resulted in the highest survival rate (70%). ABSTRACT Saprolegniasis, caused by Saprolegnia spp.

Stock assessment of the Atlantic menhaden, Brevoortia tyrannus, fishery
, 2021 A stock assessment of the Atlantic menhaden, Brevoortia tyrannus, fishery was conducted with purse-seine landings data from 1940 to 1984 and port sampling data from 1955 to 1984. These data were analyzed to determine growth rates,maximum sustainable yield (MSY), spawner-recruit relationships, and yield per recruit.

Functional trait analysis reveals the hidden stability of multitrophic communities. [PDF]
EcologyAbstract Although important for understanding how ecosystems will fare with increasing global change, the relationship between diversity and stability in multitrophic communities is still debated. Our best understanding comes from work within competitive guilds, where the relationship between stability and functional diversity is generally positive and

Growth of Age-0 Atlantic menhaden (BREVOORTIA TYRANNUS) in Two Tidal Freshwater Tributaries of Chesapeake Bay [PDF]
, 2011 Few studies have described growth rates of age-0 Atlantic menhaden (Brevoortia tyrannus). Growth rates from tidal freshwater habitats of the Mattaponi and James Rivers, Virginia in 2009 were described and compared using otolith microstructural analyses.
