Comparison between Otoliths and Length Based Ageing and Growth of African Armoured Searobin (Peristedion cataphractumL. 1758; Teleostei, Peristediidae) off the Southern Coasts of Sicily (Mediterranean Sea) [PDF]

Journal of Marine Biology, 2015
The recovering ofPeristedion cataphractumotoliths collected between 1991 and 1992 from specimens sampled off the southern coasts of Sicily has allowed a direct ageing and growth estimation to be compared with the length based method estimates produced in successive years.

Threatened fish species in the Northeast Atlantic are functionally rare

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 32, Issue 10, Page 1827-1845, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim The criteria used to define the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List categories are essentially based on demographic parameters at the species level, but they do not integrate species' traits or their roles in ecosystems.

The comparative morphology of the musculature controlling the pectoral free rays in scorpaenoid fishes

Journal of Morphology, Volume 284, Issue 7, July 2023., 2023
Free rays are a key adaptation in several benthic fish groups. Our comparative analysis of the pectoral free rays in three families of scorpaenoid fishes provides revised hypotheses regarding the identity and function of the specialized musculature and osteology associated with free rays. Abstract Free rays are ventral pectoral fin rays (lepidotrichia)

Forage Fish Species Prefer Habitat within Designated Offshore Wind Energy Areas in the U.S. Northeast Shelf Ecosystem

Marine and Coastal Fisheries, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023
Abstract As the world develops sources of renewable energy, there is an intensifying interest in offshore wind energy production. The Northeast U.S. Continental Shelf (NES) ecosystem has favorable wind dynamics, with active development of wind energy.

Trends in Area of Occurrence and Biomass of Fish and Macroinvertebrates on the Northeast U.S. Shelf Ecosystem

Marine and Coastal Fisheries, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2023., 2023
Abstract Climate change can affect the habitat of marine species and hence their persistence and adaptation. Trends in area of occurrence and population biomass were examined for 177 fish and macroinvertebrates resident to the Northeast U.S. Continental Shelf ecosystem. Samples of these organisms were taken during a time series of research bottom trawl

From scales to armor: Scale losses and trunk bony plate gains in ray‐finned fishes

Evolution Letters, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 240-250, June 2021., 2021
Abstract Actinopterygians (ray‐finned fishes) are the most diversified group of vertebrates and are characterized by a variety of protective structures covering their integument, the evolution of which has intrigued biologists for decades. Paleontological records showed that the first mineralized vertebrate skeleton was composed of dermal bony plates ...

Maximising MEDITS: using data collected from trawl surveys to characterise the benthic and demersal assemblages of the circalittoral and deeper waters around the Maltese Islands [PDF]

, 2016
Data from MEDITS trawl surveys in the waters surrounding the Maltese Islands were analysed to characterise the benthic and demersal assemblages of the central Mediterranean, which are only poorly known, hampering Maltese authorities in meeting ...

Length-weight relationships of demersal fishes from the upper continental slope off Colombia [PDF]

, 2000
Parameters of the length–weight relationship of the form W=aLb are presented for 45 demersal fish species caught on the upper continental slope of the Caribbean Sea off Colombia. The b values varied between 2.13 and 4.97, with the mean b = 3.042 (95% CI,

Record of the Armored Searobin Peristedion barbiger (Garman, 1899) (Actinopterygii: Teleostei: Peristediidae) off Peru with Taxonomic Notes

Species Diversity, 2012
A large series of Peristedion barbiger (Garman, 1899) was collected in the eastern Pacific off Peru during a joint survey conducted by the Japan Deep Sea Trawlers Association and the Instituto del Mar del Peru in 1998-2003. No detailed description of P.
