Peptidylarginine deiminase and deiminated proteins are detected throughout early halibut ontogeny - Complement components C3 and C4 are post-translationally deiminated in halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus L.) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Post-translational protein deimination is mediated by peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs), which are calcium dependent enzymes conserved throughout phylogeny with physiological and pathophysiological roles. Protein deimination occurs via the conversion of

Fluctuating salinity during development impacts fish life histories

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 9, Page 1848-1865, September 2025.
Global freshwater ecosystems are increasingly threatened by salinisation. Salinity levels not only rise but also fluctuate due to extreme climate events and human activities. This study shows that stable elevated salinity accelerates reproduction in a freshwater fish, but fluctuations in salinity reduce reproductive output, with sex‐specific effects on

Megalocytivirus: A Review of Epidemiology, Pathogenicity, Immune Evasion, and Prevention Strategies

open access: yesReviews in Aquaculture, Volume 17, Issue 3, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Megalocytivirus, a large double‐stranded DNA virus belonging to the Iridoviridae family, has infected over 100 species of fish, leading to significant economic losses in the aquaculture, food, and ornamental fish industries. These viruses exhibit icosahedral symmetry and have diameters ranging from 120 to 200 nm.

Analysis of the meiotic segregation in intergeneric hybrids of tilapias [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Tilapia species exhibit a large ecological diversity and an important propensity to interspecific hybridisation. This has been shown in the wild and used in aquaculture.

Hybridization in the Anthropocene – how pollution and climate change disrupt mate selection in freshwater fish

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 1, Page 35-49, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Chemical pollutants and/or climate change have the potential to break down reproductive barriers between species and facilitate hybridization. Hybrid zones may arise in response to environmental gradients and secondary contact between formerly allopatric populations, or due to the introduction of non‐native species.

Female preference and courtship behavior of Limia nigrofasciata [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The humpback limia (Limia nigrofasciata) is a sexually dimorphic (with males and females with different physical features), livebearing fish from the Family Poeciliidae that is endemic to (occurs exclusively to) Lake Miragoane in Haiti.

Assessing the net effect of anthropogenic disturbance on aquatic communities in wetlands: community structure relative to distance from canals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Anthropogenic alterations of natural hydrology are common in wetlands and often increase water permanence, converting ephemeral habitats into permanent ones.

Population life‐history differences and their correlates across a regional spatial scale in largemouth bass (Micropterus nigricans)

open access: yesEcology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Isolation and limited migration among populations and differences in the environments they inhabit set up conditions for population differentiation of life‐history traits, even across a regional spatial scale, such as a statewide landscape of lakes and reservoirs. Our objective was to understand how largemouth bass (Micropterus nigricans) life

Oestrogen, an evolutionary conserved regulator of T cell differentiation and immune tolerance in jawed vertebrates? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In teleosts, as in mammals, the immune system is tightly regulated by sexual steroid hormones, such as oestrogens. We investigated the effects of 17β-oestradiol on the expression of several genes related to T cell development and resulting T cell ...

Identifying personality traits and behavioural syndromes in a threatened freshwater fish (Nannoperca vittata) through comparative analysis with a model species (Poecilia reticulata): Implications for conservation

open access: yesEcology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract Animal personalities are differences in behaviour among individuals of the same species that are consistent over time and contexts. The integration of animal personality into conservation actions is hampered by limited understanding of personality traits in non‐model organisms.
