Slow growth rates of common carp Cyprinus carpio in English catch‐and‐release fisheries are related to high stock densities

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Hatchery‐reared, domesticated strains of common carp Cyprinus carpio (‘carp’) are regularly used to enhance angler catch rates in many catch‐and‐release (C&R) lentic fisheries. These carp are usually selected for specific traits (e.g. stress resilience, high probability of angling capture) and are often stocked at relatively small sizes into ...

Characterization and Comparative Profiling of MiRNA Transcriptomes in Bighead Carp and Silver Carp

open access: yes, 2011
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that are processed from large 'hairpin' precursors and function as post-transcriptional regulators of target genes.

Reproductive plasticity and environmental tolerance of invasive African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) in a tropical Brazilian river

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Invasive alien species (IAS) pose a significant threat to biodiversity, particularly when endowed with high ecological and reproductive plasticity. The African catfish, Clarias gariepinus, is one such species, widely recognized for its ability to colonize and establish in diverse tropical ecosystems.

Diet of juvenile skipjack herring Alosa chrysochloris: Ontogenetic shifts, predator–prey size ratios and mouth gape allometry

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The skipjack herring Alosa chrysochloris inhabits Gulf of Mexico drainages, primarily the Mississippi River Basin, and estuarine environments in the Gulf of Mexico. The trophic ecology of the skipjack herring is poorly understood, therefore we quantified the length, mouth gape and gut contents of juvenile skipjack herring from the Mississippi ...

Boat electrofishing survey of five Waitakere City ponds

open access: yes, 2007
We conducted a fish survey of five ponds (Lake Panorama, Paremuka Pond 1 & 2, Danica Esplanade and Longbush Pond) in the Waitakere District by single-pass boat electrofishing on 18 and 19 of July 2007.

Bony fish genomes: Status and gaps

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bony fish constitute an exceptionally species‐rich group of aquatic vertebrates, comprising more than 95% of all living fish. The adaptive processes on the diversity of environments they inhabit make them a highly diverse group from taxonomic, morphological and evolutionary standpoints.

Fish welfare in a changing world: New developments and current challenges

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The welfare of non‐human animals is central to ethical discussions on animal use, with increasing attention to fish welfare across research, aquaria, aquaculture, and fisheries. This paper reviews current theoretical approaches to animal welfare and recent advances in defining and assessing fish welfare since the seminal paper by Huntingford ...

Boat electrofishing survey of the Waimapu and Kopurererua streams, Bay of Plenty, Waitara River, and a pond at Mokoia, Taranaki

open access: yes, 2005
We conducted boat electrofishing surveys at four sites to establish the presence of, and to remove, koi carp (Cyprinus carpio). We fished the lower Waimapu Stream, Bay of Plenty, on 15 April and 14 June 2005, and the adjacent Kopurererua Stream on 15 ...

Improving spine‐based age estimation in centrarchid fishes using otolith‐derived training sets

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Nonlethal age determination is a priority in fish biology contexts where sacrifice is restricted, but estimates derived from nonlethally attainable structures tend to suffer from poor precision and accuracy relative to necessarily lethal, otolith‐derived estimates.
