Gene expression of bone morphogenetic proteins and jaw malformation in golden pompano Trachinotus ovatus larvae in different feeding regimes

Journal of Applied Animal Research, 2018
To explore the molecular response of fish larvae to nutritional manipulation, the partial sequences of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP1, BMP2, BMP4, BMP5, and BMP10) genes were obtained, and their expressions were quantified on golden pompano Trachinotus

Pug-Headedness Anomaly in a Wild and Isolated Population of Native Mediterranean Trout Salmo trutta L., 1758 Complex (Osteichthyes: Salmonidae)

Diversity, 2020
Skeletal anomalies are commonplace among farmed fish. The pug-headedness anomaly is an osteological condition that results in the deformation of the maxilla, pre-maxilla, and infraorbital bones.

Cranial Mandibular Fibrosis Syndrome in Adult Farmed Rainbow Trout Oncorhynchus mykiss

Pathogens, 2021
An unusual condition affecting market size rainbow trout was investigated. This condition was prevalent for several years at low levels but affected a large proportion of stock during 2018 and 2019.

Genetic mapping of craniofacial traits in the Mexican tetra reveals loci associated with bite differences between cave and surface fish

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Background The Mexican tetra, Astyanax mexicanus, includes interfertile surface-dwelling and cave-dwelling morphs, enabling powerful studies aimed at uncovering genes involved in the evolution of cave-associated traits. Compared to surface fish, cavefish

Relationship between Jaw Malformations and Long-Chain PUFA’s in Seriola lalandi Larvae during the Spawning Season at a Commercial Hatchery

Fishes, 2023
Jaw malformations imply an important problem during the commercial production of Seriola lalandi larvae and juvenile fish in Chile and New Zealand. Since the rate of malformations in other fish species has been associated with the content of long-chain ...

Decoupled jaws promote trophic diversity in cichlid fishes

Evolution, 2020
Functional decoupling of oral and pharyngeal jaws is widely considered to have expanded the ecological repertoire of cichlid fishes. But, the degree to which the evolution of these jaw systems is decoupled and whether decoupling has impacted trophic diversification remains unknown. Focusing on the large Neotropical radiation of cichlids, we ask whether

Genetic linkage of distinct adaptive traits in sympatrically speciating crater lake cichlid fish

Nature Communications, 2016
Genetic linkage of ecologically relevant traits has been suggested to facilitate sympatric speciation. Here, Fruciano et al. show in sister species of cichlid fish the genetic non-independence of genomic regions responsible for differentiation in body ...

Morphofunctional Analysis of the Quadrate of Spinosauridae (Dinosauria: Theropoda) and the Presence of Spinosaurus and a Second Spinosaurine Taxon in the Cenomanian of North Africa. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Six quadrate bones, of which two almost certainly come from the Kem Kem beds (Cenomanian, Upper Cretaceous) of south-eastern Morocco, are determined to be from juvenile and adult individuals of Spinosaurinae based on phylogenetic, geometric morphometric,

Inconspicuous breeding coloration to conceal eggs during mouthbrooding in male cardinalfish

iScience
Summary: Animals exhibit colorations optimal for their niche, which hides their existence from other organisms. In Apogoninae fishes, the father broods their egg inside their mouth.

Condition, Reproductive Fitness, and Fluctuating Asymmetry in Brook Stickleback: Responses to Anthropogenic Runoff

Fishes, 2023
Multiple indicators have been used to assess the degree of exposure of fish to anthropogenic chemicals in their stream habitats. We hypothesized that brook stickleback (Culaea inconstans) in a headwater stream receiving urban and agricultural runoff ...
