Environmental 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.

Application of a deep learning image classifier for identification of Amazonian fishes
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023 To address the growing prevalence of large ecological datasets combined with a need for rapid species identification tools, we describe a novel application of a computer vision model, which is built to rapidly identify Amazonian fishes from captured image data.

A meta‐analytic review of monoterpene for fish anaesthesia
Fish and Fisheries, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 367-380, May 2023., 2023 Abstract The use of anaesthetic agents has been increasing to address the welfare needs of different fish species in scientific and aquaculture practices. MS‐222 is the most used synthetic anaesthetic but some limitations and side effects have been reported.

Cryogenic preservation of embryos ofProchilodus lineatus(Valenciennes, 1836) (Characiforme; Prochilodontidae) [PDF]
Zygote, 2009 SummaryWhile the freezing techniques of mammal embryos have been providing promising results, the cryopreservation of teleostean eggs and embryos have remained unsuccessful up to now. Therefore, this work aimed to develop a procedure of cryogenic preservation of embryos ofProchilodus lineatusand to observe, at both structural and ultrastructural levels,

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 99, Issue 4, Page 1158-1189, October 2021., 2021 ABSTRACT Freshwater fish communities in Ecuador exhibit some of the highest levels of diversity and endemism in the Neotropics. Unfortunately, aquatic ecosystems in the country are under serious threat and conditions are deteriorating. In 2018–19, the government of Ecuador sponsored a series of workshops to examine the conservation status of Ecuador's ...

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 31, Issue 5, Page 1136-1149, May 2021., 2021 Abstract The extent and intensity of impacts of multiple new dams in the Amazon basin on specific biological groups are potentially large, but still uncertain and need to be better understood. It is known that river disruption and regulation by dams may affect sediment supplies, river channel migration, floodplain dynamics, and, as a major adverse ...

Zoologica Scripta, 2022 AbstractGeographically, widespread Neotropical fish lineages offer opportunities to reconstruct historical biogeography patterns and infer processes leading to modern ichthyological diversity and distribution. The characiform family Prochilodontidae is well suited for such reconstruction because their migrations limit population substructure within ...
