People need freshwater biodiversity
WIREs Water, Volume 10, Issue 3, May/June 2023., 2023 Freshwater biodiversity (i.e., plants, animals, fungi, microbes, and other living things) provides a suite of critical ecosystem services to people. Collapses in freshwater biodiversity impact people, across all regions of the globe, rural–urban gradients, and the full socioeconomic spectrum, but perhaps most particularly indigenous and marginalized ...

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.

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 ...

Atresia of ovarian follicles in fishes, and implications and uses in aquaculture and fisheries
Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 44, Issue 9, Page 1271-1291, September 2021., 2021 Abstract Atresia of ovarian follicles, that is the degenerative process of germ cells and their associated somatic cells, is a complex process involving apoptosis, autophagy and heterophagy. Follicular atresia is a normal component of fish oogenesis and it is observed throughout the ovarian cycle, although it is more frequent in regressing ovaries ...

eDNA in a bottleneck: Obstacles to fish metabarcoding studies in megadiverse freshwater systems
Environmental DNA, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 837-849, July 2021., 2021 In this study, we evaluated the taxonomic resolution capabilities of a short fragment from the 12S rRNA gene that is widely used in fish eDNA metabarcoding studies, and then compared eDNA metabarcoding data from water samples collected in the Amazon with traditional sampling using nets.

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2019 Heavy metals are considered major pollutants of aquatic environments due to the difficulty of metabolization and the bioaccumulative potential in tissues of aquatic organisms, especially fish muscle that is often used as food worldwide. In addition to causing cell damage, some metals such as aluminium (Al), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), and lead (Pb) can ...
