Reproductive plasticity and environmental tolerance of invasive African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) in a tropical Brazilian river

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Invasive alien species (IAS) pose a significant threat to biodiversity, particularly when endowed with high ecological and reproductive plasticity. The African catfish, Clarias gariepinus, is one such species, widely recognized for its ability to colonize and establish in diverse tropical ecosystems.

The state of knowledge on four families of Syngnathoidei fishes (Teleostei: Syngnathiformes): Aulostomidae, Centriscidae, Fistulariidae and Solenostomidae

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Knowledge on the ecology and life‐history traits of coastal marine species is vital to inform their conservation and management, especially as their coastal habitats come under increasing threats. However, such data have never been collated for four of the five families in the suborder Syngnathoidei—the close relatives of the better‐studied ...

Sexual selection and reproductive success in mesocosm populations of African annual killifish

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Variation in individuals’ ability to obtain mates generates sexual selection, which typically acts more strongly on males and can produce pronounced differences in phenotypes between the sexes (i.e., sexual dimorphism). The dynamic of sexual selection and individual reproductive success is considerably affected by the availability of ...

Solenostomus snuffleupagus sp. nov., a hairy ghost pipefish (Teleostei: Solenostomidae) from the Southwest Pacific, with an integrative comparison to S. paegnius

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract A new species of ghost pipefish, Solenostomus snuffleupagus sp. nov., is described from the Coral Sea based on specimens (18–34 mm SL) collected from coral reef habitats in Queensland, Australia. The species is diagnosed by the following combination of characters: abundant elongate integumentary filaments imparting a conspicuously shaggy ...

Quantifying post‐release behaviour of a critically endangered elasmobranch over two capture events using high‐resolution archival tag data

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract During catch‐and‐release angling, highly resident species are susceptible to multiple recapture events. Biologging offers the opportunity to study post‐release behaviour in detail; however, most studies have focused on a single capture‐release event.

Size‐, sex‐ and site‐dependent morphological variation in the stone flounder (Kareius bicoloratus) from Korean coastal waters

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Kareius bicoloratus is a commercially important flatfish in Korean coastal fisheries and an ecologically relevant benthic species in nearshore ecosystems. To evaluate how multiple biological and environmental factors jointly shape flatfish morphology, we analysed 81 morphometric indices and two‐dimensional geometric morphometrics (GMM) in wild
