Mesopelagic Fish Traits: Functions and Trade‐Offs

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 26, Issue 1, Page 83-103, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Fishes inhabiting the mesopelagic zone of the world's oceans are estimated to account for the majority of the world's fish biomass. They have recently attracted new attention because they are part of the biological carbon pump and have been reconsidered as a contribution to food security.

Fish That Fish for Fish—A Peculiar Location of “Fishing Motoneurons” in the Striated Frogfish Antennarius striatus

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 532, Issue 10, October 2024.
The first dorsal fin of frogfish is used to attract fish as prey and not involved in swimming. Motoneurons for the first dorsal fin (fishing motoneurons) are distributed in the dorsolateral zone of ventral horn, while those for the second, third, and fourth dorsal fins of frogfish, and first dorsal fin of filefish are present in the ventrolateral zone.

Halal and Makruk: Muslim archaeological fish assemblages as cultural identifiers in the Iberian Middle Ages?

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 34, Issue 4, July/August 2024.
Abstract Muslim religion has strict rules to determine what kinds of foodstuffs, and under what circumstances, are deemed appropriate for consumption. Fishes are not an exception to this rule and features such as body shape or the presence and conspicuousness of scales dictate whether certain species are acceptable or rejected.

Twenty‐three years of PCR‐based seafood authentication assay development: What have we learned?

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 23, Issue 4, July 2024.
Abstract Seafood is a prime target for fraudulent activities due to the complexity of its supply chain, high demand, and difficult discrimination among species once morphological characteristics are removed. Instances of seafood fraud are expected to increase due to growing demand.

Population parameters and conservation implications for one of the world's rarest marine fishes, the red handfish (Thymichthys politus)

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 104, Issue 4, Page 1122-1135, April 2024.
Abstract Population estimates are required for effective conservation of many rare marine species, but can be difficult to obtain. The critically endangered red handfish (Thymichthys politus) is a coastal anglerfish known only from two fragmented populations in southeast Tasmania, Australia.

Comparison of traditional and molecular surveys of fish biodiversity in southern Te Wāhipounamu/Fiordland (Aotearoa/New Zealand)

Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 1, January–February 2024.
At the remote UNESCO Word Heritage Site Te Wāhipounamu, we show that eDNA analysis is a highly sensitive tool with strong potential for biodiversity surveys, which is still limited by the unavailability of local reference data. We hope that by demonstrating the extend of divergence between eDNA and more traditional tools in a real‐life case study of a ...

Effects of Temperature on the Gastric Evacuation Rate and Maintenance Ration of Adult Pointhead Flounder Cleisthenes pinetorum

Journal of Applied Ichthyology, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
We investigated the gastric evacuation rate (GER) and maintenance ration (MR) for the adult pointhead flounder Cleisthenes pinetorum (77–421 g) at 4°C, 9°C, and 14°C which reflect the bottom, middle, and surface temperatures of their habitat in early summer.

Stomach content analyses of the threadfin anglerfish Lophiodes spilurus (Lophiiformes: Lophiidae) associated with deepwater shrimp fisheries from the central Pacific of Costa Rica

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2008
Our knowledge of deepwater ecosystems along the Pacific of Central America is extremely limited. We analyzed the diet composition of 200 adult specimens of Lophiodes spilurus ranging in size from 7.8 to 17.8 cm total length (TL).
