Early Biogeography of Otophysi Points to the Neotropics as the Cradle of Characiphysan Fishes. [PDF]
Otophysan fishes represent 70% of living freshwater fishes with 12,000 species. Relationships among their four orders were explored through a dense taxonomic sampling including 529 complete mitochondrial genomes and 4 nuclear genes for 324 species.

Characterization of Mitochondrial Genomes and Evolutionary Relationships in Two <i>Moenkhausia</i> (Characiformes: Acestrorhamphidae). [PDF]
This study successfully decoded the complete mitochondrial genomes of two Moenkhausia species, with total lengths of 16,439 and 16,461 bp, respectively. This study enhances genomic resources for Acestrorhamphidae and provides a foundation for investigating evolutionary mechanisms and developing molecular markers.

Fish community structure was assessed in six wetlands using cast nets, to correlate with environmental variables with diversity and distribution patterns, from 2010 to 2012. A total of 2,239 individuals belonging to 44 species and 1,938 individuals belonging to 40 species were sampled in the dry and wet seasons. Mochokid and Mormyrid families dominated

Ethiopia has considerable freshwater potential. Currently, the recognized fish diversity in the country’s freshwater ecosystem is more than 200. Despite the presence of such high fish diversity with considerable economic returns, ichthyofaunal studies on Ethiopian rivers are scarce. Thus, this study aimed to identify and compare ichthyofaunal diversity
