Eyeing DNA barcoding for species identification of fish larvae

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 105, Issue 6, Page 1784-1799, December 2024.
Abstract Identification of fish larvae based on morphology is typically limited to higher taxonomic ranks (e.g., family or order), as larvae possess few morphological diagnostic characters for precise discrimination to species. When many samples are presented at any one time, the use of morphology to identify such specimens can be laborious and time ...

Diet composition of fish species from the southern continental shelf of Colombia [PDF]

, 2002
The diet composition of 30 fish species belonging to 16 families from the Pacific Coast of Colombia is described. Benthic crustaceans (37.5%) and bony fishes (23.7%, chiefly demersal) were the most important food items for the fish species analyzed. Data

Bottom Trawling and Multi‐Marker eDNA Metabarcoding Surveys Reveal Highly Diverse Vertebrate and Crustacean Communities: A Case Study in an Urbanized Subtropical Estuary

Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 6, November–December 2024.
We demonstrated the effectiveness of eDNA metabarcoding as a valuable addition to bottom trawling for monitoring the species composition and spatial distribution of fish and crustacean communities in urban estuaries. We also showed that a multiplexed‐marker approach enhances species detection, especially in some taxa, for example, cartilaginous fish ...

Hyperostosis in Fishes: An Update With New Species Records

Journal of Morphology, Volume 285, Issue 11, November 2024.
Hyperostosis is an enigmatic dimension of diversity in the anatomy of fishes. This excessive overgrowth of bone is natural in origin, occurs almost exclusively in marine fishes, is generally species‐specific, and becomes fully developed only in large individuals. We document hyperostosis in 35 families, 89 genera, and 153 species.

Distribution and abundance of ichthyoplankton in Florida Bay [PDF]

, 2002
Ichthyoplankton was sampled at 14 stations with 60 cm bongo nets fitted with 0.333 mm mesh in basins throughout Florida Bay in 1994-1995. In addition, I compared collections made using an epibenthic sled to those made with standard ichthyoplankton bongo

An integrated evaluation of potential management processes on marine reserves in continental Ecuador based on a Bayesian belief network model [PDF]

, 2015
Evaluating potential effects of conservation and management actions in marine reserves requires an understanding not only of the biological processes in the reserve, and between the reserve and the surrounding ocean, but also of the effects of the ...

Southeast Florida Coral Reef Fishery-Independent Baseline Assessment [PDF]

, 2015
Reef fishes are important biologic, ecologic, and economic resources of the marine ecosystem which must be managed for sustainability. Until recently, there was no long-term monitoring program in place to assess the condition of reef fish resources of ...
