The grass carp, Ctenopharyngodon idella Cuvier and Valenciennes, was imported to the U.S. in 1963 as a biological control agent for hydrilla (Hydrilla verticilliata (L.f.) Royle) and other aquatic plants.

Larval development of Characidium orientale (Actinopterygii: Crenuchidae) a small Neotropical fish
ABSTRACT The Characidium orientale Buckup & Reis, 1997 larvae development is described using specimens collected in the natural environment of Antas River, in the Taquari-Antas river basin, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Were considerate ontogenetic changes in morphology, pigmentation, fin morphology, and meristic characters.

Bony labyrinth morphology in early neopterygian fishes (Actinopterygii: Neopterygii) [PDF]
ABSTRACTEndocasts of the osseous labyrinth have the potential to yield information about both phylogenetic relationships and ecology. Although bony labyrinth morphology is well documented in many groups of fossil vertebrates, little is known for early Neopterygii, the major fish radiation containing living teleosts, gars and the bowfin.

Developmental changes of opsin gene expression in ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii)
AbstractFish often change their habitat and trophic preferences during development. Dramatic functional differences between embryos, larvae, juveniles and adults also concern sensory systems, including vision. Here we focus on the photoreceptors (rod and cone cells) in the retina and their gene expression profiles during the development.

Mobile Elements in Ray-Finned Fish Genomes
Ray-finned fishes (Actinopterygii) are a very diverse group of vertebrates, encompassing species adapted to live in freshwater and marine environments, from the deep sea to high mountain streams.

The Diversity of Ray-finned Fishes (Actinopterygii) in Plio-Pleistocene Java
Java has been known in the world of Paleontology as a contributor to the findings of Homo erectus fossils, but there are still other fossil findings that have not been identified until now, especially fossil fishes of the subclass Actinopterygii. This research was conducted to recognize the diversity of the actinopterygians fishes in Plio-Pleistocene ...

Information about the food sources for fish is important not only for predation and food competition, but also for the direct impact on organism interactions, relationships, and biodiversity within aquatic ecosystems.

Collective orientation of an immobile fish school, effect on rheotaxis [PDF]
We study the orientational order of an immobile fish school. Starting from the second Newton's law, we show that the inertial dynamics of orientations is ruled by an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. This process describes the dynamics of alignment between neighboring fish in a shoal, a dynamics already used in the literature for mobile fish schools. Firstly,
