Tra Vinh University Journal of Science, 2022 This study researched the feeding habits of soldier croaker Dendrophysa russelii (Cuvier,1829) distributed in coastal areas of the Mekong Delta from May to December, 2021. Fish samples were randomly collected in different sizes by trawl-net.

Morphology of the jaw, suspensorial, and opercle musculature of Beloniformes and related species (Teleostei: Acanthopterygii), with a special reference to the m. adductor mandibulae complex [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 The taxon Beloniformes represents a heterogeneous group of teleost fishes that show an extraordinary diversity of jaw morphology. I present new anatomical descriptions of the jaw musculature in six selected beloniforms and four closely related species. A

Evolution of jaw disparity in fishes [PDF]
Palaeontology, 2018 AbstractThe morphology of the vertebrate lower jaw has been used to infer feeding ecology, with transformations in mandibular shape and structure likely to have facilitated the emergence of different feeding behaviours in vertebrate evolution. Here we present elliptical Fourier shape and principal component analyses, characterizing and comparing the ...

The cichlid oral and pharyngeal jaws are evolutionarily and genetically coupled
Nature Communications, 2021 Modular, rather than integrated systems are classically thought to allow functional diversity to evolve rapidly. A study of cichlid fish shows integration between divergent jaw systems at the phylogenetic, population, and genetic scales, suggesting ...

Journal of Developmental Biology, 2022 The expression of the col11a1a gene is essential for normal skeletal development, affecting both cartilage and bone. Loss of function mutations have been shown to cause abnormalities in the growth plate of long bones, as well as in craniofacial ...

Regeneration of Jaw Joint Cartilage in Adult Zebrafish
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 The poor intrinsic repair capacity of mammalian joint cartilage likely contributes to the high incidence of arthritis worldwide. Adult zebrafish can regenerate many structures that show limited or no healing capacity in mammals, including the jawbone. To

A Permian fish reveals widespread distribution of neopterygian-like jaw suspension
eLife, 2022 The actinopterygian crown group (comprising all living ray-finned fishes) originated by the end of the Carboniferous. However, most late Paleozoic taxa are stem actinopterygians, and broadly resemble stratigraphically older taxa.

A Study of Some Biological Aspects of Pacu Piaractus Brachypomus (G. Cuvier, 1818)
مجلة ديالى للعلوم الزراعية, 2021 The present study attempts to shed light on some biological aspects and characteristics of Piaractus brachypomus, including some biometrics, phenotypic and feeding pattern that characterizes this species.

Tracing evolutionary decoupling of oral and pharyngeal jaws in cichlid fishes [PDF]
Evolution Letters, 2021 AbstractEvolutionary innovations can facilitate diversification if the novel trait enables a lineage to exploit new niches or by expanding character space. The elaborate pharyngeal jaw apparatus of cichlid fishes is often referred to as an evolutionary “key innovation” that has promoted the spectacular adaptive radiations in these fishes.

Food partitioning of two co-occurring Terapontid fishes, Terapon jarbua and Pelates quadrilineatus, in coastal areas of Trang Province, Southern Thailand [PDF]
Songklanakarin Journal of Science and Technology (SJST), 2019 This study clearly demonstrates that Terapon jarbua and Pelates quadrilineatus showed obvious food partitioning by their dietary ontogenetic changes. The larvae of both species fed mainly on the calanoid copepods. Juveniles of T. jarbua shifted to feed
