The first next-generation sequencing approach to the mitochondrial phylogeny of African monogenean parasites (Platyhelminthes: Gyrodactylidae and Dactylogyridae)

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background Monogenean flatworms are the main ectoparasites of fishes. Representatives of the species-rich families Gyrodactylidae and Dactylogyridae, especially those infecting cichlid fishes and clariid catfishes, are important parasites in African ...

The effect of copper on the blood chemistry of Clarias gariepinus (clariidae)

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 1994
Environmental stressors, both natural and humanly induced, could cause changes in cellular function which alter the physiology of organ systems in fish. The need to comprehend and predict the condition which stress metals will pose on fish, and extrapolate the effect of pollutants from laboratory to population levels, have forced scientists to search ...

Helminth Parasites of Clarias gariepinus (Clariidae) in Lekki Lagoon, Lagos, Nigeria

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2014
A total of 360 randomly selected specimens of Clarias gariepinus (Clariidae) recovered from Lekki Lagoon were examined for intestinal helminth parasites. Parasite prevalence and worm burden were low; 17 (4.72%) of the specimens examined were infected with gastrointestinal helminths. The helminth worms recovered include, three cestodes Polyonchobothrium

Assessment of Small‐Meshed Gillnets for Sustainable Fisheries in the Chobe River, Namibia

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Small‐meshed gillnets are restricted by the regulatory framework of the Namibian Inland Fisheries Act of 2003. This is mainly because smaller meshed nets are presumably selective towards juveniles of the large‐growing cichlid species. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the impacts of smaller meshed gillnets (<73 mm) on the fish stocks ...

Environmental DNA and Conventional Sampling Capture Complementary Patterns of Ichthyofaunal Diversity in the Selangor River Estuary, Malaysia

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 4, July‐August 2026.
Mangrove estuaries are a key ecosystem for coastal fishery resources, especially in developing nations such as Malaysia. Using identical sampling points and duration for both eDNA metabarcoding and conventional sampling, fish community analyses highlight shared and unique taxa, variable taxonomic resolution, and the complementarity of eDNA ...

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

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 109, Issue 1, Page 264-277, July 2026.
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.
