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.

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)

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 (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]
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
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
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.

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)
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.
