Hadal Snailfishes (Teleostei: Liparidae) Extend Across Multiple Trenches: Molecular Insights and Implications for Taxonomic Nomenclature [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe hadal zone, Earth's deepest oceanic region, is defined by distinct geological features and hosts a variety of endemic species, including the Liparidae Gill, 1861 (snailfishes).

Habitat influences skeletal morphology and density in the snailfishes (family Liparidae) [PDF]
Frontiers in Zoology, 2021 We tested the hypothesis that deep-sea fishes have poorly mineralized bone relative to shallower-dwelling species using data from a single family that spans a large depth range.

The complete mitochondrial genome of snailfish Liparis tanakae Gilbert & Burke, 1912 (Perciformes: Cottioidei: Liparidae) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2022 Mitochondrial genome is maternal inheritance that provides higher resolution in taxonomic and phylogenetic research. The absence of complete mitogenome becomes an obstacle to further research.

A new species of snailfish of the genus Paraliparis (Liparidae) from the western North Pacific, with a redescription of the poorly known species Paraliparis mandibularis [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2020 A new snailfish, Paraliparis flammeus, is described on the basis of 18 specimens collected off the Pacific coast of Tohoku District, northern Japan at depths of 422–890 m. The new species is distinguished from 28 species of Paraliparis described from the

Expression and molecular characterization of an intriguing hyaluronan synthase (HAS) from the symbiont “Candidatus Mycoplasma liparidae” in snailfish [PDF]
PeerJBackground Hyaluronan synthases (HASs) are ubiquitous in living organisms, and the hyaluronic acid (HA) synthesized by them are important to their body and well used in medicine, cosmetics and other fields.

The complete mitochondrial genome of the Atlantic spiny lumpsucker Eumicrotremus spinosus (Fabricius, 1776) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2023 The complete mitogenome of the Atlantic spiny lumpsucker (Eumicrotremus spinosus) was generated using the PacBio Sequel II HiFi sequencing platform. The mitogenome assembly has a length of 19,281 bp and contains 13 protein-coding sequences, 22 tRNA genes,

Genomic Characterization of a Novel Gut Symbiont From the Hadal Snailfish [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Hadal trenches are characterized by not only high hydrostatic pressure but also scarcity of nutrients and high diversity of viruses. Snailfishes, as the dominant vertebrates, play an important role in hadal ecology.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Liparis tessellatus and its phylogenetic analysis [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020 Liparis tessellatus is a cubed snailfish that inhabits the northwestern region of the Pacific Ocean. The family Liparidae is difficult to distinguish morphologically due to the typical body color and shape variation, which are used interchangeably due to

The morphology and sculpture of ossicles in the Cyclopteridae and Liparidae (Teleostei) of the Baltic Sea [PDF]
Estonian Journal of Earth Sciences, 2010 Small to very small bones (ossicles) in one species each of the families Cyclopteridae and Liparidae (Cottiformes) of the Baltic Sea are described and for the first time illustrated with SEM images. These ossicles, mostly of dermal origin, include dermal
