Increased offspring provisioning by large female fish and consequences for reproductive efficiency. [PDF]
(a) A weighted female total length versus egg diameter trendline (red) supports that larger females produce larger eggs. (b) However, when egg diameter is converted to egg volume (red) and further, number of eggs per mL gonad (blue), it demonstrates an egg size‐fecundity trade‐off.

Anadromous European smelt (Osmerus eperlanus) is a keystone species in lake and river ecosystems. In the past and present, stock declines in several of its habitats have been reported. The reasons for this are unclear.

Patterns and Processes of Genomic Evolution Inferred From the Ten Smallest Vertebrate Genomes. [PDF]
By integrating phylogenetic relationships derived from nuclear DNA with population genetic analyses across ten pufferfish species, the genetic differentiation mechanisms underpinning the radiative speciation of the most compact vertebrate genomes has elucidated.

Diversity and Spatiotemporal Distribution of Fish in a Highland Lake in China Based on Environmental DNA Metabarcoding. [PDF]
We analyzed water samples from different seasons and locations in Erhai Lake to determine whether eDNA barcoding can effectively show the diversity of fish in such lakes. In the manuscript, we discuss our findings regarding the range of species found, their spatiotemporal distribution, and whether eDNA barcoding gave similar results to traditional ...

Bathylagichthys parini (Osmeriformes: Bathylagidae) from Chilean fjords: new morphological data [PDF]
The northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge, from Iceland to the Azores (MAR), is the largest topographical feature in the Atlantic Ocean. Despite its size, few studies have described dietary patterns of pelagic fishes along the MAR. MAR-ECO, a Census of Marine Life field project, aimed to describe the food web structure of abundant fish species along the ridge ...

Arctic freshwater ecosystems and fish populations are largely shaped by seasonal and long‐term watershed hydrology. In this paper, we hypothesize how changing air temperature and precipitation will alter freeze and thaw processes, hydrology, and instream habitat to assess potential indirect effects, such as the change to the foraging and behavioral ...

Pathology associated with larval Eustrongylides sp. (Nematoda: Dioctophymatoidea) infection in Galaxias maculatus (Actinopterygii: Galaxiidae) from Patagonia, Argentina [PDF]
Helminth infections within tissues tend to be subjected to a host response that can include encapsulation and melanization to isolate the parasite. The effectiveness of this response depends on the host species. During a survey of parasites of the native

Nuclear DNA content in the red conger eel Genypterus chilensis (Guichenot, 1881) (Actinopterygii: Ophidiidae) [PDF]
Los estudios sobre contenido de ADN nuclear en el género Genypterus son escasos, y el presente trabajo entrega por primera vez la estimación del contenido de ADN nuclear de Genypterus chilensis con un valor 2C = 1,0 + 0,06 pg, valor cercano al descrito ...
