From scales to armor: Scale losses and trunk bony plate gains in ray-finned fishes. [PDF]

Evol Lett, 2021
Abstract Actinopterygians (ray‐finned fishes) are the most diversified group of vertebrates and are characterized by a variety of protective structures covering their integument, the evolution of which has intrigued biologists for decades. Paleontological records showed that the first mineralized vertebrate skeleton was composed of dermal bony plates ...

Assessment of listing and categorisation of animal diseases within the framework of the Animal Health Law (Regulation (EU) 2016/429): Bacterial kidney disease (BKD). [PDF]

EFSA J, 2023
Abstract Bacterial kidney disease (BKD) was assessed according to the criteria of the Animal Health Law (AHL), in particular the criteria of Article 7 on disease profile and impacts, Article 5 on its eligibility to be listed, Annex IV for its categorisation according to disease prevention and control rules as laid out in Article 9 and Article 8 for ...

Hadal Snailfishes (Teleostei: Liparidae) Extend Across Multiple Trenches: Molecular Insights and Implications for Taxonomic Nomenclature. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Hadal snailfish are not endemic to single deep‐sea features, as evidenced by multiple documented range extensions of hadal snailfish species. Our data supports the recommendation that Notoliparis should be considered a subjective junior synonym of the genus Pseudoliparis and highlights the importance of expanding sampling efforts.

Diet and trophic structure of fishes in the Barents Sea: between empty and full stomachs - large individual variability follows a common pattern. [PDF]

J Fish Biol
Abstract More than 27,000 stomachs from 70 species of fish were collected from the Barents Sea in 2015. Quantitative stomach content expressed relative to the body weight of the predator fish (g g−1 as %) varied by four to five orders of magnitude for six species with the largest sample size (Atlantic cod Gadus morhua, haddock Melanogrammus aeglefinus,

The distribution of coastal fish eDNA sequences in the Anthropocene

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 32, Issue 8, Page 1336-1352, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim Coastal fishes have a fundamental role in marine ecosystem functioning and contributions to people, but face increasing threats due to climate change, habitat degradation and overexploitation. The extent to which human pressures are impacting coastal fish biodiversity in comparison with geographic and environmental factors at large spatial

Distinct latitudinal community patterns of Arctic marine vertebrates along the East Greenlandic coast detected by environmental DNA

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 29, Issue 2, Page 316-334, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim Greenland is one of the places on Earth where the effects of climate change are most evident. The retreat of sea ice has made East Greenland more accessible for longer periods during the year. East Greenland fjords have been notoriously difficult to study due to their remoteness, dense sea ice conditions and lack of infrastructure.

Deciphering Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra L.) and seal (Phoca vitulina L.; Halichoerus grypus F.) diet: Metabarcoding tailored for fresh and saltwater fish species

Molecular Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 19, Page 5089-5106, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Long‐lived top predators shape biodiversity structure in their ecosystems and predator–prey interactions are critical in decoding how communities function. Studies on the foraging ecology of seals and Eurasian otters in Western Europe are outdated and most studies solely performed traditional hard part analysis.

Mitogenomics of the suborder Cottoidei (Teleostei: Perciformes): Improved assemblies, mitogenome features, phylogeny, and ecological implications [PDF]

, 2022
We determined the mitogenome of Cyclopterus lumpus using a hybrid sequencing approach, and another four closely related species in the Liparidae based on available next-generation sequence data. We found that the mitogenome of C.

Signals of resilience and change in tidepool fish communities on the Pacific coast of Vancouver Island, Canada

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 27, Issue 11, Page 2170-2179, November 2021., 2021
Abstract Aim Ocean warming and marine heatwaves have emerged as strong predictors of biodiversity change in coastal systems. Here, we test for systematic change in tidepool fish communities between recent and historical data sets, which include the North Pacific marine heatwave of 2014–2016.

Using model selection to choose a size‐based condition index that is consistent with operational welfare indicators

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 99, Issue 3, Page 782-795, September 2021., 2021
Abstract Quantitative and qualitative measures of fish health and welfare are essential for management of both wild capture and aquaculture species. These measures include morphometric body condition indices, energetic condition and aquaculture operational welfare indicators (OWIs).
