Building a Teleost Fish Traceability Program Based on Genetic Data from Pacific Panama Fish Markets [PDF]
Fish tissue samples from 203 adult individuals were collected in the main ports and markets of the Pacific coast of Panama. Molecular identification based on a cytochrome oxidase I gene segment of all species was verified by GENBANK reference sequences ...

An osteometric approach to reconstruct the length and weight of Lutjanus argentiventris (Perciformes: Lujtanidae) for archaeological and ecological purposes [PDF]
Lutjanus argentiventris presents a large intertropical distribution within the Eastern Pacific, which is as important to fisheries now as it was in the pre-Hispanic period.

DNA barcoding of marine rocky reef fishes from northern Peru suggests a parapatric speciation in the Tropical Eastern Pacific. [PDF]
Using a DNA barcoding technique we found evidence that reinforce the hypotheses of how parapatric speciation could drive the origin of new species in the TEP. Abstract Northern Peru marks the end of an extensive coastal marine region: The Panama province, which is characterized by predominantly tropical and equatorial features and is home to the only ...

First record of Neobenedenia girellae (Monogenea: Capsalidae) as the cause of mortality of yellow snappers, Lutjanus argentiventris, farmed in artisanal cages in the Urías Estuary, Mazatlán, Mexico [PDF]
A parasitic outbreak of capsalid monogeneans occurred in May 2023 in artisanal cages where yellow snappers (Lutjanus argentiventris) are farmed. Cages are set at the entrance to the Urías Estuary in Mazatlán, northwestern Mexico. The outbreak resulted in

Beyond the Surface: Mesophotic Reefs as Potential Refuges for Shallow Fish Assemblages. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The deep reef refugia hypothesis suggests that the effects of disturbance decrease as depth increases; thus, reefs in the mesophotic zone potentially serve as refuges for communities in shallower zones. This study challenged this hypothesis by evaluating fish diversity in shallow and mesophotic reefs in a marine protected area in the Gulf of ...

Seasonal changes of fish assemblages in a subtropical lagoon in the SE Gulf of California. [PDF]
The composition and seasonal changes of the fish assemblage in a coastal lagoon system in southeastern Gulf of California were assessed from December 2001 to July 2005. A total of 20,877 organisms belonging to 191 species and 47 families were analyzed. We determined that almost all the species inhabiting the system were found; however some rare species

Length–weight relations for 14 fish species of La Paz Bay, Baja California Sur, México [PDF]
The presently reported study provides length–weight relations of 14 fish species from mangrove swamps of La Paz Bay, Baja California Sur, México: Diapterus brevirostris (Sauvage, 1879); Eucinostomus currani Zahuranec, 1980 ...

Abstract The Mexican hogfish (Osteichthyes: Labridae, Bodianus diplotaenia Gill, 1862) is widely distributed throughout the tropical eastern Pacific from the Gulf of California to northern Peru, including all oceanic islands. Artisanal fishers occasionally capture it today and its remains are recovered at pre‐Columbian dwelling sites along the Pacific ...
