Complete Mitochondrial Genome of the Araucanian Herring, <i>Strangomera bentincki</i>, Norman, 1936 (Teleostei: Clupeiformes: Clupeidae): Phylogenetic Analysis and Implications in Fishmeal Traceability. [PDF]
Araucanian herring (Strangomera bentincki) is a pelagic fish whose main processed products are fishmeal and oil. The complete mitogenome is 16,758 bp, consisting of 13 coding genes, two rRNAs, 22 tRNAs, and the control region. Phylogenetic analysis supported a monophyletic clade with Sprattus muelleri and Sprattus antipodum.

Spatio-temporal assessment of nearshore fish communities in a temperate estuary using functional and community metrics for restoration and management. [PDF]
Abstract Understanding the structure and function of estuarine fish communities is essential for guiding ecosystem‐based management and restoration. This study investigated long‐term patterns in fish community composition, abundance, species richness and estuarine use across 15 nearshore sites within three estuaries and the Isle of Wight, located in ...

Use of Citizen Science to Determine Prey Partitioning Between Two Coastal Raptors. [PDF]
In Australia, Eastern Osprey (Pandion haliaetus cristatus) and White‐bellied Sea‐Eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster) occupy the same ecological niche and are suspected of partitioning prey resources. This study investigated this through evaluating the breadth, overlap and partitioning of diets recorded from social media posts.

High-Throughput DNA Sequencing Reveals Gastric Content Composition and Inter-Specific Variation in <i>Pampus</i> Fishes. [PDF]
In this study, we employed high‐throughput sequencing of environmental DNA (eDNA) to conduct an analysis of the gastric contents composition and relative abundance from samples of P. argenteus and P. punctatissimus collected at the Jimiya Fish Pier in Qingdao, Shandong Province, and P. cinereus collected at the Qinglan Port in Wenchang, Hainan Province.

The distribution of estuarine fish larvae: nutritional condition and co-occurrence with predators and prey [PDF]
Fish larvae were collected monthly between March and September 1997 in the Mira and Guadiana estuaries (southern Portugal). Hydrological parameters were registered and zooplankton samples were obtained simultaneously. Densities of fish larvae (ind.100 m(-
