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.

Mitochondrial genome annotation and phylogenetic placement of Oreochromis andersonii and O. macrochir among the cichlids of southern Africa. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Genetic characterization of southern African cichlids has not received much attention. Here, we describe the mitogenome sequences and phylogenetic positioning of Oreochromis andersonii and O. macrochir among the African cichlids.

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 ...

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.

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

The opsin genes of amazonian cichlids [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, 2017
AbstractVision is a critical sense for organismal survival with visual sensitivities strongly shaped by the environment. Some freshwater fishes with a Gondwanan origin are distributed in both South American rivers including the Amazon and African rivers and lakes. These different habitats likely required adaptations to murky and clear environments.

Biological Diversity and Resilience: Lessons from the Recovery of Cichlid Species in Lake Victoria

open access: yesEcology and Society, 2011
A fundamental feature of the Anthropocene is the inexorable erosion of the self-repairing capacity or adaptive renewal of natural systems because of natural perturbation, exploitation, or management failure.
