A guide to the otoliths of Southern Ocean lanternfishes (Myctophidae) [PDF]

Polar Biology
In the Southern Ocean, myctophids (family Myctophidae) are speciose, dominate the mesopelagic fish biomass, and are important in the diets of many fishes, squids, seabirds, and marine mammals. Consequently, they play a key role in carbon export and energy transfer from primary consumers to top predators.

Lanternfish (Myctophidae) from eastern Brazil, southwest Atlantic Ocean [PDF]

Latin American Journal of Aquatic Research, 2014
Twenty-nine species from 11 genera of Myctophidae were taken in daytime midwater and bottom trawl hauls off eastern Brazil (11º-22ºS). Trawls were performed aboard the French R/V Thalassa to depths from 19 to 2271 m, including samples from shelf, slope ...

Unlocking the Depths: Use of a Trait-Based Approach to Reveal the Diversity of Foraging Strategies in a Deep-Pelagic Fish Community. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The deep‐pelagic fish community showed differences in functional strategies along the depth gradient. Epipelagic species exhibited significant trait convergence with traits adapted to the prey‐tracking strategy, while bathypelagic species exhibited significantly higher functional richness values than expected at random.

BATHYAL FISH OTOLITHS FROM THE BARTONIAN (EOCENE) OF THE TURIN HILL (PIEDMONT, ITALY)

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 2022
A small collection of fish otoliths, mostly myctophids, from a bathyal environment are described from the Bartonian (late middle Eocene) Marne di Monte Piano Formation of San Genesio, Turin Hill, Piedmont.

Are Sponges Good Natural Sentinels for Monitoring Fish Diversity in Antarctic Coastal Waters? [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study demonstrates that eDNA metabarcoding using both water and sponge samples is an effective tool for monitoring fish biodiversity along the Western Antarctic Peninsula. The results revealed 14 endemic Antarctic fish species and one marine mammal, with water samples often offering a more comprehensive view than sponges.

Ontogenetic comparison of larvae and juveniles of Diaphus garmani and Benthosema pterotum (Myctophidae, Pisces) collected from Korea

Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 2020
During June 2017, we collected two postflexion larvae (6.01 and 7.56 mm in standard length [SL]) and two juveniles (7.72 and 9.62 mm SL) belonging to Myctophidae in the waters of Jejudo Island.

First Report of a Common Dolphin (<i>Delphinus delphis</i>) Feeding Alongside Indo-Pacific Humpback Dolphins (<i>Sousa chinensis</i>) in the Beibuwan Gulf, China. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
In this paper, we firstly reported a recent unusual case of a Common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) mixed group with the estuarine Indo‐Pacific humpback dolphins (Sousa chinensis) in the Beibuwan Gulf, China. Correspondence behavior analysis showed that foraging was the most frequently observed activity, which might confirm the foraging advantage ...

Recovering Historical eDNA From Museum-Preserved Filter Feeders via Non-Destructive Metabarcoding. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT Recent technical advances have significantly enhanced the value of museum specimens for molecular research, with metagenomic and metabarcoding approaches expanding further the utility of museum collections. However, given the finite number of specimens, there is a critical need to move past destructive DNA extraction approaches and to explore ...

Complete mitochondrial genome of the skinnycheek lantern fish Benthosema pterotum (Perciformes: Myctophidae) in the East China Sea

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Benthosema pterotum is first described in this article. The total length of mitogenome is 18,052 bp. It contains 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and two ribosomal RNA genes.
