The fossil vertebrate primary type specimens in the collection of the University of Otago Department of Geology. [PDF]

open access: yesJ R Soc N Z
ABSTRACT The 47 vertebrate type specimens held in the University of Otago Geology Department are catalogued in detail. A short history of the collection is followed by lists of the type specimens under the Classes Actinopterygii, Reptilia, Aves and Mammalia. A fish trace‐fossil is included at the end of the Actinopterygii.

Re-evaluation of certain aspects of the EFSA Scientific Opinion of April 2010 on risk assessment of parasites in fishery products, based on new scientific data. Part 2. [PDF]

open access: yesEFSA J
Abstract The objective of this opinion was to determine if any wild caught fish species, originating from specific fishing grounds and consumed in the EU/EFTA could be considered free of zoonotic parasites. In this Opinion the term ‘fishery products’ only refers to fresh finfish.

Myxozoans as biological tags for stock identification of the Argentine hake, Merluccius hubbsi (Gadiformes: Merlucciidae) [PDF]

open access: yesParasitology, 2016
SUMMARYMyxozoans have been successfully used as tags for fish stock identification around the world. However, few studies using myxozoan tags have been carried out in the Southern Atlantic, a region with complex oceanography that constitutes a potentially suitable scenario for testing the utility of myxozoans as indicators.

Optimizing a metabarcoding marker portfolio for species detection from complex mixtures of globally diverse fishes

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 1589-1607, November 2023., 2023
We assessed the performance of 22 DNA metabarcoding primer sets for detecting 103 species of marine and freshwater bony fishes, elasmobranchs, cephalopods, and crustaceans. We find that a portfolio of four markers targeting 12S, 16S, and multiple regions of COI identifies all reference taxa to family and nearly 60% to species.

Description of Merluccius tasmanicus sp. nov. and redescription of Merluccius australis (Pisces: Merlucciidae) [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2006
A new hake species, Merluccius tasmanicus sp. nov., is described from New Zealand waters and another species, Merluccius australis is redescribed. Merluccius tasmanicus sp. nov. differs from all other congeneric species in the following combination of characters: upper profile of the head slowly concave; lateral line slowly concave in the caudal region;

Bioaccumulation of Metals/Metalloids and Histological and Immunohistochemical Changes in the Tissue of the European Hake, Merluccius merluccius (Linnaeus, 1758) (Pisces: Gadiformes: Merlucciidae), for Environmental Pollution Assessment

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
Pollution and other types of environmental stress do not spare marine environments, especially those affected by high industrial pressure. Fish, especially coastal species, are used for monitoring the marine environment because they are particularly ...

Stock discrimination of hoki ( Macruronus novaezelandiae , Merlucciidae) in New Zealand waters using morphometrics [PDF]

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, 1996
We compared morphometric features of adult‐size (75–95 cm total length) hoki, Macruronus novaezelandiae , from the two main spawning grounds (West Coast South Island, Cook Strait) and from the two main areas of dispersal (Auckland Island‐Campbell Plateau, Chatham Rise) to determine if more ...

Foraging Ecology and Fisheries Interactions of Common Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) Inferred From Strandings in Western Iberian Atlantic Waters

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT The common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) is a resident species along the Portuguese mainland coast, yet knowledge of its stranding patterns and feeding ecology is scarce. This study presents a comprehensive assessment of strandings (n = 264, from 1980 to 2019) and feeding ecology based on stomach content analysis (n = 43 from 1997 to
