A SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) based analysis was developed to differentiate four economically important species belonging to the Gadiformes order: Pacific cod Gadus macrocephalus, Atlantic cod Gadus morhua, Haddock Melanogrammus aeglefinus and ...

No relationship between fecundity and annual reproductive rate in bony fish [PDF]
Background. There is still a widespread notion that bony fishes with high fecundities are more productive and therefore more resistant to overexploitation.

Successive Losses of Central Immune Genes Characterize the Gadiformes’ Alternate Immunity [PDF]
Great genetic variability among teleost immunomes, with gene losses and expansions of central adaptive and innate components, has been discovered through genome sequencing over the last few years. Here, we demonstrate that the innate Myxovirus resistance gene (Mx) is lost from the ancestor of Gadiformes and the closely related Stylephorus chordatus ...

Inner ear morphology in the Atlantic molly Poecilia mexicana [PDF]
Fishes show an amazing diversity in hearing abilities, inner ear structures, and otolith morphology. Inner ear morphology, however, has not yet been investigated in detail in any member of the diverse order Cyprinodontiformes.

Hybridization and Introgression in Black Hakes (Merluccius polli and M. senegalensis): Evolutionary Dynamics and Conservation Implications in the Contact Zone Exploited by Multi-Species Fisheries. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Hybridization is relatively common between closely related species that share part of their distribution. Understanding its dynamics is important both for conservation purposes and to determine its role as an evolutionary mechanism. Here we have studied the case of black hakes (Merluccius polli and Merluccius senegalensis) in its contact zone.

Notes on Norwegian marine Amphipoda 11. Ceradocus torelli (Goes, 1866), a new amphipod for Norway
Several specimens of the circumpolar melitid amphipod Ceradocus torelli (Goes, 1866) were found in stomachs of cod Gadus morhua in Stålvikbotn, N. Norway. These are the first records of this large and spectacular amphipod from Norwegian waters.

First report of the rare morid Laemonema robustum (Gadiformes) from the Southwestern Atlantic [PDF]
The poorly known morid Laemonema robustum Johnson, 1862, is reported for the first time from Brazilian marine waters. Morphometric characters are compared with published works and selected vouchers. The known Atlantic Ocean range of the
