Mesopredatory fishes from the subtropical upwelling region off NW-Africa characterised by their parasite fauna [PDF]
Eastern boundary upwelling provides the conditions for high marine productivity in the Canary Current System off NW-Africa. Despite its considerable importance to fisheries, knowledge on this marine ecosystem is only limited. Here, parasites were used as

Addressing the complex phylogenetic relationship of the Gempylidae fishes using mitogenome data. [PDF]
The Gempylidae mitogenomes present a conserved gene order and a similar manner of evolution. Complete mitogenome data provide clearer resolution in the phylogeny of gempylids. We identify two major clades of the Gempylidae, which formed around 48.05 (35.89–52.04) million years ago.

Differences in the trophic ecology of micronekton driven by diel vertical migration [PDF]
Abstract Many species of micronekton perform diel vertical migrations (DVMs), which ultimately contributes to carbon export to the deep sea. However, not all micronekton species perform DVM, and the nonmigrators, which are often understudied, have different energetic requirements that might be reflected in their trophic ecology.

eDNA samples provide information on fish diversity in a broad‐scale marine area, detecting almost ten times more fish species compared with pelagic trawling, including some considered elusive or difficult to capture with traditional fishing methods.

Otolith characterization and integrative species identification of adult mesopelagic fishes from the western North Atlantic Ocean [PDF]
Fish diversity and ecology in the ocean’s mesopelagic zone are understudied compared to other marine regions despite growing interest in harvesting these potential resources.

Identification and spatial stratification of tropical fish concentrations using acoustic populations [PDF]
L'une des limitations les plus importantes dans l'application des méthodes acoustiques d'évaluation des stocks réside dans la difficulté à identifier correctement les espèces dans des communautés multispécifiques, en particulier dans les zones tropicales.

Evaluación de la diversidad de la fauna de peces demersales profundos del Mar Caribe colombiano [PDF]
We compiled georeferenced records of deep demersal fishes from the Colombian Caribbean Sea in order to assess the level of survey coverage and geographic completeness of species richness inventories at a scale of 15 min by 15 min cells, in view of ...

Morphology and phylogenetic relationships of fossil snake mackerels and cutlassfishes (Trichiuroidea) from the Eocene (Ypresian) London Clay Formation [PDF]
‘Gempylids’ (snake mackerels) and trichiurids (cutlassfishes) are pelagic fishes characterized by slender to eel‐like bodies, deep‐sea predatory ecologies, and large fang‐like teeth.
