Fish Predation in Bivalve Aquaculture: Impacts and Potential Mitigation Strategies
ABSTRACT Fish predation poses a significant challenge to bivalve aquaculture throughout the global range of production. However, the issue remains poorly understood, preventing the advance of effective interventions. Fish predation, especially on mussels in longline culture, can be severe and, in some instances, lead to crop losses of up to 100%, which

The bluntnose knifefish genus BrachyhypopomusMago-Leccia, 1994, is diagnosed from other Rhamphichthyoidea (Rhamphichthyidae + Hypopomidae) by the presence of a disk-like ossification in the anterior portion of the palatoquadrate, and by the following ...

Fish Evo‐Devo: Moving Toward Species‐Specific and Knowledge‐Based Interactome
Gaining knowledge‐based, fish‐specific interactomes is crucial in Evo‐Devo biology for uncovering how gene networks drive the unique adaptations and diversity of fish, the most diverse vertebrates. These interactomes also provide insights into conserved and derived mechanisms of vertebrate evolution, highlighting the molecular basis of key evolutionary

Abstract Research on personal identity often relies on imaginary cases and tends to theorize about our nature from the first‐person perspective. In this paper, I argue that a problem arises when we combine the two methods and assess imaginary cases from the first‐person perspective. The problem is that the link between de se imagination and modality is

Abstract The apparent lack of physical barriers in the marine realm has created the conception that many groups have a constant gene flow. However, changes in ocean circulation patterns, glacial cycles, temperature, and salinity gradients are responsible for vicariant events in many fish species, including sharks.

The environment to the rescue: can physics help predict predator–prey interactions?
ABSTRACT Understanding the factors that determine the occurrence and strength of ecological interactions under specific abiotic and biotic conditions is fundamental since many aspects of ecological community stability and ecosystem functioning depend on patterns of interactions among species.

Opposing roles for Bmp signalling during the development of electrosensory lateral line organs
The lateral line system enables fishes and aquatic-stage amphibians to detect local water movement via mechanosensory hair cells in neuromasts, and many species to detect weak electric fields via electroreceptors (modified hair cells) in ampullary organs.

A review of the reproductive biology of mormyroid fishes: An emerging model for biomedical research
Mormyroid electric fish have great potential as biomedical models, but the inability to reliably breed mormyroids in the laboratory has hindered widespread use in this capacity. To facilitate solving this problem, we extensively review mormyroid reproductive biology.

Embryonic development in the bonnethead (Sphyrna tiburo), a viviparous hammerhead shark
Abstract Background The hammerhead sharks (family Sphyrnidae) are an immediately recognizable group of sharks due to their unique head shape. Though there has long been an interest in hammerhead development, there are currently no explicit staging tables published for any members of the group.

The Australian lungfish, Neoceratodus forsteri, is the earliest branching species of extant lungfishes having changed little over the last 100 million years and is thought to be a key species for the fish–tetrapod transition. This ultrastructural study of the cornea reveals it is not split into dermal and scleral components and is similar to that of ...
