Size-selective mortality is common in fish stocks. Positive size-selection happens in fisheries where larger size classes are preferentially targeted while gape-limited natural predation may cause negative size-selection for smaller size classes. As body

Evidence of unidirectional gene flow in a fragmented population of Salmo trutta L.
Selection, genetic drift, and gene flow affect genetic variation within populations and genetic differences among populations. Both drift and selection tend to decrease variation within populations and increase differences among populations, whereas gene

New host records of parasitic isopods of Tropical Eastern Pacific marine fishes, with remarks on the taxonomy and distribution of the species [PDF]
Marine fishes harbor a wide array of metazoan parasites, including helminths and crustaceans such as copepods and isopods. Even though the coast of Sinaloa stands out in Mexico by the volume of captured marine fishes, information about the diversity of ...

Skin Mucus of Marine Fish as a Source for the Development of Antimicrobial Agents
Fish skin mucus is an important component of the innate immune mechanism and provides a first barrier against pathogens. Although several studies investigated and demonstrated the antimicrobial properties of skin mucus of fishes, most of them tested ...

The taphonomy of fishes living in lacustrine environments has been extensively studied in both the laboratory and the fossil record; the taphonomy of marine fishes, however, is poorly known.

Scientists know very little about the mechanisms underlying fish skin mucus, despite the fact that it is a component of the immune system. Fish skin mucus is an important component of defence against invasive infections. Recently, Fish skin and its mucus

Elongases of very-long-chain fatty acids (Elovls) are critical rate-limiting enzymes that are involved in LC-PUFA biosynthesis through catalyzing the two-carbon elongation of a pre-existing fatty acyl chain. Thus far, several Elovls have been extensively
