Fish Genomics and Its Application in Disease‐Resistance Breeding

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 17, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Global aquaculture production has been rising for several decades, with up to 76% of the total production from fish. However, the problem of fish diseases is becoming more and more prominent in today's context of pursuing sustainable aquaculture.

Genetic identification and diversity of stocks of the African bonytongue, Heterotis niloticus (Osteoglossiformes: Arapaiminae), in Nigeria, West Africa

Scientific Reports, 2022
Inland fisheries are an important source of protein and income for people in Africa. Their sustainable management can greatly benefit from identification of regional genetic stocks and characterization of their genetic diversity, but such information is ...

Salinity plays a limited role in determining rates of size evolution in fishes globally across multiple scales

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 33, Issue 9, September 2024.
Abstract Aim Substantial progress has been made to map biodiversity and its drivers across the planet at multiple scales, yet studies that quantify the evolutionary processes that underpin this biodiversity, and test their drivers at multiple scales, are comparatively rare.

The problems with pin bones: Intermuscular bone development and function in salmonids and their implications for aquaculture

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 16, Issue 4, Page 1981-1995, September 2024.
Abstract A healthy skeletal system is fundamental to fish welfare and performance and a key physiological feature of a robust fish. The presence of skeletal deformities in farmed salmonids is a persistent welfare problem in aquaculture, and one which threatens to impede industry growth.

A review of the reproductive biology of mormyroid fishes: An emerging model for biomedical research

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 342, Issue 3, Page 144-163, May 2024.
Mormyroid electric fish have great potential as biomedical models, but the inability to reliably breed mormyroids in the laboratory has hindered widespread use in this capacity. To facilitate solving this problem, we extensively review mormyroid reproductive biology.

Global introductions and environmental impacts of freshwater megafish

Global Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 4, April 2024.
Of the 134 extant freshwater megafish species, 46% have been introduced outside of their native ranges. Over 50% of the alien megafish species with sufficient data to evaluate the severity of their environmental impacts have caused population declines or even extirpations of native species.

Low Genetic Diversity and Structuring of the Arapaima (Osteoglossiformes, Arapaimidae) Population of the Araguaia-Tocantins Basin

Frontiers in Genetics, 2017
The arapaima, Arapaima gigas, is a fish whose populations are threatened by both overfishing and the ongoing destruction of its natural habitats. In the Amazon basin, varying levels of population structure have been found in A.
