Optimizing a metabarcoding marker portfolio for species detection from complex mixtures of globally diverse fishes

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 1589-1607, November 2023., 2023
We assessed the performance of 22 DNA metabarcoding primer sets for detecting 103 species of marine and freshwater bony fishes, elasmobranchs, cephalopods, and crustaceans. We find that a portfolio of four markers targeting 12S, 16S, and multiple regions of COI identifies all reference taxa to family and nearly 60% to species.

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

open access: yesJournal 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

open access: yesMarine 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

open access: yesMarine 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

Length‐Weight Relationships and Relative Condition Factor of 53 Species of Shallow‐Water Fish in the Colombian Caribbean Sea

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ichthyology, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Length‐weight relationships (LWR) were described for 53 species of shallow‐water fish caught with bottom trawls in a depth range between 7.3 and 108.1 m during September 2013 in the Colombian Caribbean Sea (fishing area 31 of the FAO). A linear regression was performed using the logarithmically transformed data to calculate a and b coefficients and ...

Caracterización genómica y fenotípica de la especie Brycon henni (Characiformes: Characidae) en cuencas hidrográficas de los ríos Yotoco, Sonso, Guabas y Sabaletas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Even when there is great diversity and quantity of marine and freshwater species in Colombia, studies regarding the phylogenetic relationships of fish species in the country are still insufficient, despite the need for rigorous characterization of the ...

Spatial and Temporal Heterogeneity of Fish Spawning Dynamics on the West Florida Shelf During Fall

open access: yesFisheries Oceanography, Volume 34, Issue 4, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Identifying spawning areas for economically and ecologically important fishes is critical for fisheries conservation and ecosystem‐based management. We used genetic barcoding to identify fish eggs collected across the West Florida Shelf (WFS) during September of 2013, 2014, and 2019.

Assessing Fish Community Structure and Diversity Across Environmental Gradients in a Tropical Bay

open access: yesMarine Ecology, Volume 46, Issue 2, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Understanding the relationship between species distribution and the environment across spatial gradients is crucial for biodiversity evaluation. We surveyed fish populations in a tropical bay, covering a spatial gradient from the outer zone with favorable marine conditions to the inner zone affected by human activities.

Dietary metabarcoding of keystone sardine species reveals the importance of their ichthyoplankton prey in food webs of the Southern Brazilian Bight fisheries

open access: yesFisheries Oceanography, Volume 33, Issue 4, July 2024.
Abstract Clupeiform fishes are ecologically and economically important species contributing to industrial and artisanal fisheries worldwide. They represent key links in food webs, influencing the dynamic between trophic levels. The dietary interactions of these species are poorly studied in many regions, yet essential for fisheries management.

Variación de los hábitos tróficos en nueve especies de peces de la Laguna Garzón (Uruguay)

open access: yes, 2018
Trophic role including nine fish species from a coastal lagoon in Uruguay (Laguna Garzón) was assessed using carbon and nitrogen stable isotope measurements. To this end, samples of food sources and fishes were collected in May 2017 for isotopic analysis.
