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 ...

On the myology of the cephalic region and pectoral girdle of three arid species, Arius heudeloti, Genidens genidens and Bagre marinus, and comparison with other catfishes (Teleostei: Siluriformes) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The muscles of the cephalic region and pectoral girdle of Arius heudeloti, Genidens genidens and Bagre marinus are described and compared with those of non-ariid siluriforms.

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 ...

A Perspective on Fisheries Sector Interventions for Livelihood Promotion [PDF]

open access: yes
The distinctive features of fisheries resources, fishers and their geographic contexts, on the one hand, and broad stylized features of the existing lacklustre performance of this sector, on the other, call for specialized and sustained efforts to ...

On the homologies of the skeletal components of catfish (Teleostei: Siluriformes) suspensorium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
There has been much controversy concerning the identity of the components of the suspensorium in Siluriformes (catfishes). This confusion has implications not only for comparative morphology, but also for phylogenetic studies.

The state of knowledge on four families of Syngnathoidei fishes (Teleostei: Syngnathiformes): Aulostomidae, Centriscidae, Fistulariidae and Solenostomidae

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Knowledge on the ecology and life‐history traits of coastal marine species is vital to inform their conservation and management, especially as their coastal habitats come under increasing threats. However, such data have never been collated for four of the five families in the suborder Syngnathoidei—the close relatives of the better‐studied ...
