DNA barcoding of the fishes of the genus Alburnoides (Actinopterygii, Cyprinidae) from Caucasus
Spirlins of the genus Alburnoides are widespread fishes, which taxonomy has been rapidly developing in recent years. Mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) was used as DNA barcode marker to create a reference dataset of Caucasian Alburnoides and to test its barcoding efficiency.

An individual of Pigfish, Orthopristis chrysoptera (Linnaeus, 1766), is recorded for the first time for the Mediterranean Sea, raising to six the number of species of the family Haemulidae in the basin. The fish was caught on 12 September 2020 in the harbor of Siracusa (Ionian Sea) by an angler and had an estimated total length of about 16 cm. Possible

ABSTRACTActinopterygii makes up half of living vertebrate diversity, and study of fossil members during their Palaeozoic rise to dominance has a long history of descriptive work. Although research interest into Palaeozoic actinopterygians has increased in recent years, broader patterns of diversity and diversity dynamics remain critically understudied.

Current methods for monitoring marine fish (including bony fishes and elasmobranchs) diversity mostly rely on trawling surveys, which are invasive, costly, and time‐consuming.

Asian pangasiids—an emerging problem for European inland waters? Systematic and parasitological aspects [PDF]
Background. Asian pangasiids (Actinopterygii: Siluriformes: Pangasiidae), commonly referred to as “panga”, have recently became an important item on the European fish markets.

Observation Bias in Metabarcoding
ABSTRACT DNA metabarcoding is subject to observation bias associated with PCR and sequencing, which can result in observed read proportions differing from actual species proportions in the DNA extract. Here, we amplify and sequence a mock community of known composition containing marine fishes and cetaceans using four different primer sets and a ...

Polar fishes have evolved antifreeze proteins (AFPs) that allow them to survive in subzero temperatures. We performed deep transcriptomic sequencing on a postlarval/juvenile variegated snailfish, Liparis gibbus (Actinopterygii: Scorpaeniformes: Cottoidei:

Indigenous peoples and local community reports of climate change impacts on biodiversity
Abstract Climate change impacts on biodiversity have been primarily studied through ecological research methods, largely ignoring other knowledge systems. Indigenous and local knowledge systems include rich observations of changes in biodiversity that can inform climate change adaptation planning and environmental stewardship.

The Fossil Record of Ray-Finned Fishes (Actinopterygii) in Greece [PDF]
AbstractThe nowadays hyper-diverse clade of Actinopterygii (ray-finned bony fishes) is characterized by a long evolutionary history and an extremely rich global fossil record. This work builds upon 170 years of research on the fossil record of this clade in Greece. The taxonomy and spatiotemporal distribution of the ray-finned fish record of Greece are

Spatial and Temporal Heterogeneity of Fish Spawning Dynamics on the West Florida Shelf During Fall
ABSTRACT Identifying spawning areas for economically and ecologically important fishes is critical for fisheries conservation and ecosystem‐based management. We used genetic barcoding to identify fish eggs collected across the West Florida Shelf (WFS) during September of 2013, 2014, and 2019.
