Vulnerability of flatfish and their fisheries to climate change

Journal of Sea Research, 2018
Flatfishes (order Pleuonectiformes) are important to fisheries and contribute substantially to seafood production and people's livelihood. However, the sustainability of flatfish fisheries is being challenged by climate change, in addition to other non ...

Geometric morphometrics as a tool to identify species in multispecific flatfish landings in the Tropical Southwestern Atlantic

Fisheries Research, 2019
Fisheries statistics of many countries are still limited by the use of common names in multispecific captures, where little is known about the correct taxonomic identification of captured species.

3-D realistic simulations over a Flatfish shaped AUV submitted to ocean currents

Applied Ocean Research, 2019
This work aims to analyze the torque effects produced by the hull-wake interaction on the maneuverability of a flatfish-shaped AUV, by 3-D realistic scale computational simulations.

Flatfish metamorphosis: A hypothalamic independent process?

Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, 2015
Anuran and flatfish metamorphosis are tightly regulated by thyroid hormones that are the necessary and sufficient factors that drive this developmental event. In the present study whole mount in situ hybridization (WISH) and quantitative PCR in sole are used to explore the central regulation of flatfish metamorphosis.

Epidermal Lesions in Irish Sea Flatfish

Nature, 1973
PERKINS et al.1 suggest that the apparent increase of epidermal lesions in the flatfish of the north-east Irish Sea during 1971 may be associated with pollutants, particularly polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). They suggest that the simultaneous increase of lymphocystis, fin damage and ulcers represents an abnormal situation that may have resulted from ...

An overview of the second flatfish symposium: Recruitment in flatfish

Netherlands Journal of Sea Research, 1994
The Second International Flatfish Symposium was focused around recruitment and opened with a challenge and a question. The challenge was to intensify and clarify our thinking about recruitment. The question was: why, after nearly a century of concerted efforts, do we not yet understand (have the ability to predict) variability in year-class strength of

Pigment abnormalities in flatfish

Aquaculture, 1999
Abstract Pigment abnormalities have been reported to occur on both sides of flatfish. Hypomelanosis or pseudo-albinism, characterized by white patches or areas devoid of normal pigmentation on the ocular surface of the skin, is common in both wild and hatchery reared flatfish. The blind side may display hypermelanosis in the form of dark spots, known

Bio-floc technology application in flatfish Paralichthys olivaceus culture: Effects on water quality, growth, hematological parameters, and immune responses

Aquaculture, 2018
Juvenile Paralichthys olivaceus (mean weight 2.69 ± 0.31 g) were raised in bio-floc and sea water for 4 months. After 4 months, individuals raised in bio-floc (mean weight 296.4 ± 31.7 g and mean length 30.5 ± 2.6 cm) and sea water (mean weight 281.2 ...
