Cryptobia iubilans in Cichlids

open access: yesEDIS, 2014
After many years of diagnostics at the University of Florida and at other laboratories around the country, it appears that Cryptobia iubilans is not uncommon among cichlids, and that environmental and other factors determine the extent of disease.

East African cichlid fishes

open access: yesEvoDevo, 2023
AbstractCichlid fishes are a very diverse and species-rich family of teleost fishes that inhabit lakes and rivers of India, Africa, and South and Central America. Research has largely focused on East African cichlids of the Rift Lakes Tanganyika, Malawi, and Victoria that constitute the biodiversity hotspots of cichlid fishes. Here, we give an overview

Bio‐ecological studies on two cichlids in the Brimsu reservoir of Ghana

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, 2023
Although small‐scale fisheries and aquaculture provide opportunities to increase fish yield to supplement rural food and income, they remain undeveloped in Ghana.

Cichlid genome modification - Malawi cichlids v1

open access: yes, 2023
Here we provide a microinjection protocol for the modification of cichlid fish via CRISPR or transgenesis. This is our forked version of the protocol provided by Scott Juntti (https://www.protocols.io/view/cichlid-genome-modification-cj5wuq7e), modified for our Lake Malawi cichlid species for both NHEJ knock-outs and HDR knock-ins These protocols ...

Testing the performance of environmental DNA metabarcoding for surveying highly diverse tropical fish communities: A case study from Lake Tanganyika

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, 2020
Background and Aims Environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding provides a highly sensitive method of surveying freshwater fish communities, although studies to date have largely been restricted to temperate ecosystems.

Assessing the dietary sources of two cichlid species in River Nile sub-branches: Stomach contents, fatty acids and stable isotopes analyses

open access: yesEgyptian Journal of Aquatic Research, 2016
We assess the importance of four different food sources as dietary components of Oreochromis niloticus and Sarotherodon galilaeus in Nile sub-branches using stomach contents, fatty acids (FA) and stable isotopes (SI) analyses.

Evolutionary divergence of 3’ UTRs in cichlid fishes

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2018
Background Post-transcriptional regulation is crucial for the control of eukaryotic gene expression and might contribute to adaptive divergence. The three prime untranslated regions (3’ UTRs), that are located downstream of protein-coding sequences, play

Sensory Drive in Cichlid Speciation [PDF]

open access: yesThe American Naturalist, 2006
The role of selection in speciation is a central yet poorly understood problem in evolutionary biology. The rapid radiations of extremely colorful cichlid fish in African lakes have fueled the hypothesis that sexual selection can drive species divergence without geographical isolation.

Elaboration, development, and installation of the first animal skin bank in Brazil for the treatment of burns and wounds [PDF]

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Cirurgia Plástica, 2019
Introduction: The production and distribution of human skin by Brazilian skin banks is insufficient to meet the country's demand, supplying less than 1% of the need for treating burn victims.
